One of my absolute favorite things about living in this bustling city is the fact that I can wake up on a lazy Sunday morning, walk 3 blocks in any direction and sit down for a delicious breakfast. We were going to try a different place this morning, so we walked up Lincoln Ave to the "Salt and Pepper Diner," only to find it closed for remodeling. Well shit. So we headed east to Clark for some pancakes at "Orange with a Peel," and halfway there we changed our mind. The orange is a pretty fancy brunch place, and we wanted biscuits and gravy with french toast. Plain and Simple. So we headed south down Halstead and eventually hit the "Uptowner" on Lincoln about a block from the house. It was perfect. Got a good walk in and had a simple breakfast of greasy food to kill the slight wine hangover.
I cannot begin to express how much I love living here. I don't think I have ever been this happy in a single location. Yes, this year has been incredibly stressful at work, but next year will be immeasurably easier. The biggest difference between here and Phoenix is that I'm not miserable at work AND miserable in the city. It makes things a quite a bit more tolerable.
