My President's Day

I must say, my President's Day was quite enjoyable. Here's a play-by-play:

8:20 - my laptop starts playing music to cue me into the fact that it's time I start to thinking about waking up.
8:30 - my cellphone chimes in to second the motion.
9:00ish - I get out of bed.
9:00ish to 9:30ish - I shower and get ready and all that jazz.
10:00 - Adrienne sends me a text to call her when I get up.
10:05 - I call Adrienne.
11:00 to 12:00ish - I enjoy the company of Adrienne while we both enjoy yummy brunch at Sarabeth's.
Directly After - I stop at the grocery store to pick up bread and milk stuffs.
12:47 - I call Christy to tell Russ that I'm home. (He accidentally locked himself out of the apartment while I was at brunch and was camping at Jessica and Christy's apt just down the street a couple blocks until I got home.)
1:00 to 4:40 - I do several loads of laundry, wash dishes, vacuum, make lunch, chat, relax, etc.
4:40 to 7:00ish - I travel down to Wall Street and work my way up Broadway and round abouts taking pictures of Starbucks' storefronts and signage for work while the rain and wind comes and goes.
7:00ish to 7:34 - I sit at the Rockefeller Center Starbucks, sip hot chocolate, people watch, text.
7:34 - I get a reply text from my friend Ali and find out she's engaged.
7:34 to 7:40 - I talk to her on the phone.
7:45 to 8:00ish - I wait for a B train at Rockefeller Center
8:00ish - I decide to take a D train to 59th Street and transfer to the 1.
After arriving to 59th Street - I find out the D train I'm on will be running local past 59th. I stay on until 96th street and smile at my good fortune.
8:30 - I arrive perfectly on time to Malecon (98 and Amsterdam) for Becca's birthday dinner.
8:30 to 10:00ish - Eat, Enjoy friends, Enjoy friends, Eat. (If you notice, the center/important part of this chiasmus is "Enjoy friends.")
10:15ish - I arrive home.
10:30ish - I show Ryan my apartment so he can decide whether or not he wants to take my spot in March when I move down the street to the new place.
11:12 - I start writing this post.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable and productive day.
But there was definitely something (someone) missing.
