(backdated, but I really wanted to write about this)
Tim is lucky enough to have some classes canceled this week, thanks to the Thanksgiving Break, so he agreed to drive me to work on Wednesday, and work on the computers on campus and read an article that we have at my library but not at his. I purposely scheduled myself an easy day today, since I knew I'd be burned out, and that most students would be gone. An hour and a half for lunch, and leaving at 3:30 -- I suppose I shouldn't complain. Plus the not having to drive always makes me feel better about working.
So my morning appointments all showed up early, which meant I was done with advising by 11:15, and didn't have another appointment until 1:00. I called Tim (am so spoiled with the cell phone), and we decided to actually leave campus for lunch.
I had been to Ellicott City's historical district once before, so I pretended that I'd be able to navigate us back there, since he'd never seen it. With the help of a map that we handily keep in the glove compartment, we actually got there without a problem. It's a really cute town, built along and into the side of a big rocky something - bluff? or just small mountain? In any case, many of the buildings butt up against it, and if you look between buildings, you can see rock and trees growing out, and, basically, it's just pretty. We walked up and down the main street, window shopping, checking out the holiday decorations, while I narrated my last (and only other visit) to the town.
We ate at a little restaurant/coffeeshop, 100% vegetarian (contrary to popular belief, I can find vegetarian food that I like). He had something with portabellas and a pot of green tea, I had a hummus sandwich and a big hot chocolate. Topped off with a brownie, it was quite a lovely respite from the work day, as short as it was.
We've been going on more little mini-dates recently, since my tirade about being too boring and normal, and I appreciate that. If only I liked to do more things that weren't as expensive :)
