Mar. 15th, 2019 04:00 pmI overdid yesterday. If it hadn't been Thursday, I'd have been okay. If it hadn't started pouring as I got off the bus near Arborland, I might still have been okay. I didn't have an umbrella because I'd been out of the house for hours at that point. I don't habitually carry one because of the weight.
All of the stuff I needed to get done before I left for my appointment took longer than I expected it to, and there were always half a dozen things that needed doing with no clear priority as to which were more important.
I got to my appointment with plenty of time to spare, and they saw me on time. At that point, I walked up to the Mott bus stop and caught the Washtenaw bus to get to Arborland. I've not taken the bus that way since before Cordelia was born, so I wasn't sure exactly where the stops were or where the crosswalks were. I got off the bus earlier than I probably needed to.
After I got my glasses, it was past 1:00, and I needed to eat something. I didn't want to have to cross Washtenaw twice, so I limited myself to considering what was on the side of the street where I'd need to be to catch the bus back. I ended up getting a burger a couple of doors down from the glasses place. I considered Noodles & Company and a sandwich place, but the former tends not to have great options for, and the latter was across a pretty big parking lot. I didn't consider Chili's for more than about two seconds because I'm pretty sure they have zero things on the menu that are me-safe without major modifications.
The burger wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't spectacular. I didn't get fries because they had big signs saying they fried in pure peanut oil. I considered stopping at Coldstone Creamery after that, but I was still soaked and chilled and needed to catch a bus home.
There are multiple buses running along Washtenaw, and I didn't care which one I got as long as I could connect to one of the two buses that pass near our house. I ended up on one that took a longish route to get to the downtown transit center, so it's possible that I could have gotten home sooner if I'd waited. It was also chilly on both buses on the way home.
I discovered that the awnings at the Blake Transit Center actually leak at the seams and are really weirdly placed. They cover the parts of their driveway where the buses park but not the sidewalk where people stand while waiting or walk while going to a different bus.
The cleaning lady was here when I got home at 3:30. I kind of really wanted to shower in order to warm up and also wanted to sleep for a week. She was cleaning the bathroom, however, so I couldn't get in there until after 5:00. Dinner and a Gatorade woke me considerably, enough so that I had trouble falling asleep at bedtime.
My right calf muscle has been cramping since around the time I got to my appointment yesterday. I've taken naproxen which has helped, but I don't want to do much walking right now. Which is inconvenient because it would be very useful if I'd managed to get myself out to Kroger as we've run out of a few things. It's a little late for me to do it now without Scott having to make an extra trip to bring me and the groceries home.
The next bus there would get me there near 5:00 which is when Scott leaves work. He might hit Ann Arbor as early as 5:30 or as late as 6:00, so it's still possible. I just don't want to.
