It’s almost that time of the year where everyone is looking forward to going home or on a summer vacation. Those of us living in the Northeast have experienced some severely weird weather that I am ready for sure to go back home to the sun and beaches of Oman.

Now that trip home is very far away….about three weeks to be exact and that’s a while for me. So instead, I took a ME Day today. I love ME Day. It is a day where I do nothing but just treat myself and go about alone around Boston.

Today I went to CPK (California Pizza Kitchen) for lunch then I walked all the way to the Boston Harbor and ended my trip with a shopping spree for my family vacation. So let’s break it down!

I went for lunch at CPK cause I absolutely love their spaghetti bolognese with the extra (free of cost!!!) parmesan. The idea of twirling my spaghetti with the parmesan just melting on the steaming beef mince and then slurping it up is just heavenly. Those of you who don’t know, I am a big foodie with a huge sweet tooth! (However I haven’t touched caffeine or sweets since two weeks!) And yes I can get a little messy and had some splashes of the stock on my face.

So I finished my spaghetti and was on my way to walk all the way to the Boston Harbor. I must say today, the whole of Boston was out and about soaking in the sun. I am glad I did and I hope you did too!

Once I reached Boston Harbor, I just took in the sun and the ocean. And it was so peaceful and I was just happy sitting there hearing the people around me and me staring right at the airport and mentally counting down my days to head home. The ocean was calm and the sun glistened with little waves coming in.

Then I headed over to the Primark because I am going on a family vacay with my two little babies (ma and pa) to Mauritius! And probably after that I will never use my summer clothes. Can I get Amen to that sister! So I got myself some cute stuff and possibly some unnecessary crap but heck who cares. I’m allowed to splurge once in a while.

Then I took the T back home cause my bag may have been too big to carry home walking from all the way from Downtown Crossing to Roxbury Crossing hehe. But the point of this blog post is to tell you folks to take some out for yourself no matter how busy you get. You need it.

By this I mean step out and go treat yourself and spoil yourself. You have earned it! It’s almost the end of the semester and you have pulled it off so far so you need a little motivation and energy boost, am I right or am I right?

Whether it is staying home or going out, it is vital to enjoy your own company. At the end of the day it is ourselves is all we have always.
