Hi Friends! On my solo date I took myself out to breakfast and a pedicure on Headmaster Holiday. I was planning on using my surprise day off to catch up on work, but after I dropped my daughter off at school, I decided that I needed a Bloody Mary more than I needed to grade biology exams. I dropped the top on my convertible and drive to Del Ray Cafe. I was the first person there, so not only was I alone at my table, but I had the restaurant to myself for almost 45 minutes. It was heavenly. I just sat there and relaxed and tried to think about nothing. It was difficult to not take out my phone, read a book, or think about how much work I had to do. Once my food came, it was a little easier as I had something to do. In the end, it was quite relaxing, and in order to prolong the feeling, I headed to the nail salon for a pedicure (talking the long way so as to maximize convertible-cruising time). And yes, thank you, I WILL go for the spa pedicure today! I did end up going home and grading some papers, doing laundry, etc. But I did it with a relaxed smile on my face and fancy toes.
