During his lunchbreak today Paul and I (and his coworker David) caught a subway down to Union Square and went shopping at Whole Foods for all the pricey soft drinks we're too cheap to buy ourselves when we're at home. It was great being able to meet up for lunch and hop around town on a subway instead of driving but I realized on the walk back that I could never actually live in NYC where I'd have to physically carry home my groceries. Particularly not when the groceries consist of bottled water and six-packs of soda. Everything was fine while Paul was carrying them, but when we split up so he could go back to the office, those three blocks might as well have been three miles. My wrists ache.

The weather here is cooling off and I'm in the mood to just veg out today. Maybe I will just stay in and study the rest of the day. I know, I know, I'm boring, boring, boring =)
