Still breathing, but no column
Chickened out and drove to the Winter Market today. Well, I drove to the library and walked to The Pavilion in Central Park, which wasn't far. Bluebird Bakery didn't show, so I didn't buy anything. I was slightly tempted by the jugs of frozen cider. Wished I'd brought my cane before I got back to the car. The library parking lot surprised me by being full of cars. I hardly ever get there in a car when it's open. I went in, looked up Bujold, and checked out _Penrick's Mission_, which I read instead of Usenet this evening. Now I'm wondering how to get it back when suiting up takes longer than the ride. Weather Underground says the temperature is going to be right off the chart next week, but the days the red line runs off the top, there are a lot of tall blue bars below it. (Blue bar chart of the probability of rain.) I had been thinking of walking to Lowery's, but walking wasn't pleasant, and I did need to drive to Owen's West for some fizzwater too heavy to carry walking. I bought a small bag of clearance potatoes while I was there. Tried to drive from there to Lowery's on Winona, but I was on the wrong side of the tracks and a train was using them. Thought I'd have to wait at the stoplight blocking traffic until it passed, but there was just enough room for me between the crosswalk and the last car on the other side of Detroit, so the guy behind me had to wait at the stoplight blocking traffic. Fortunately, nearly everybody wants to turn left at that intersection. All I wanted was a pen ($5.66, ouch!) and I knew exactly where it was, but I took a complete tour of the store after buying it. Then I drove home, ate lunch, and slept like a rock. My sore throat is better, but now I'm blowing my nose. Viral, so far. No other symptoms except feeling tired. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net |
