Out To Lunch

Today I met my sister for lunch. We met at Reading Terminal Market which was about 6 blocks away, total. Despite being that close, it was the first time I had gone there since starting my job. I have been to Reading Terminal Market before but only briefly and never for lunch. We split a turkey steak and mashed potatoes and then headed over to Old City Coffee (still inside RTM) and got a cappucino.

For a place so close, I have no excuse for having not gone there before. I told myself, and the person I replaced, that I would try to get out of the office as often as possible. Three months later and I have gone out during the day only a handful of times. Part of this is due to my desire to save money. I have been bringing lunch and avoiding buying/eating out. But another part is due to sheer comfort/laziness. It is much easier to stay in my office and surf the web than it is to go outside for a bit. Maybe this is partially influenced by the 53+ days of over 90 degree weather this summer, but I cannot claim that as my only reason.

I am hoping to revisit the RTM many times in the future. It is not cheap, but an excursion once every few weeks is not out of the question.
