simple pleasures

After battling an extraordinarily persistent migraine that lasted for exactly three days and approximately 12 hours, I was happy to do nothing more strenuous today than a relaxing stroll through the mall for some lunch, and a browse through the bookstore, which was fortunately for me, exactly what we ended up doing!

The Husband and I woke up at 11am (extremely decadent, even for us), and with nothing more important to do than to fortify ourselves with food at some point, we spent a leisurely hour on the internet, before my growling stomach got us out of our PJs and into the car to head to Albany Mall on the North Shore.

Some salmon sushi, a short stroll, two books, a few bags of groceries and 2.5 hours later, we were back home and settled back on the couch. 

I attempted to read Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol, and managed three chapters before my heavy eyelids took over and I fell asleep listening to Debussy's Clair De Lune playing softly in the background. 

We also split a cookies and cream and strawberry cream doughnut between us for tea.

Some days, life can be as simple and pleasurable as doughnuts, a good book and some classical music. 

I like. =)
