I'm winding down a much-needed week off from work. What started out as a grandiose plan to completely rectify all the messes in my apartment and catch up on reading ended up being a semi-relaxed pace towards blissful detachment of responsibility.
Half Moon Bay provided much sun (and wind) to the start. Sadly, the wind prevented me from enjoying a relaxing read on the beach and made wading in the ocean an impossibility. I ran down my towel, though. The wind didn't want anything to stay put. I plunked myself down in the bar of the Half Moon Bay Brewing Company and enjoyed a sampling of their brews. I had their Imperial Stout with their ribs, but I would heavily recommend their Irish Red. A "growler" (a 2L jug) of said Irish Red came home with me. The next day, I checked out another potential inn, bought roses for my Little One, walked along the even-windier beach, and hot-treaded it home.
Since then, I went to one River Cats game (lost 11-1, but gained an ice cream batting helmet) and pretty much vegged. I had confirmation that I do not have gout. I just need to stay off my leg long enough for it to completely heal and not aggravate it (again).
So, now my Little One and I have brainstormed vacation spots for our autumn vacation. Half Moon Bay may be on that list for a repeat performance this year, though Yosemite, Tahoe, and maybe Marin Headlands might pull harder. Whichever it'll be, it'll give both of us another much-needed departure from work and everyday life.
