Recognized!

July 8th, 2015 at 12:29 am

I decided to walk to work today. The weather was perfect for it - 55 in the morning, and in the low 70s in the afternoon.

On my way home today I was about ten blocks away from work when a woman standing at a corner waved at me. I went over there and she asked me "Aren't you the person who works at ....?" I told her that I was. She thought it was funny that I was walking instead of taking the bus. Smile So I told her that I only live 1.5 away from work, and enjoy the walk. However, next week (if I decide to walk) I'll probably take the bus on the way home because it's supposed to be in the 90s in the afternoon.

She told me that she calls me all the time asking for directions. She must have come by to buy passes too, although I didn't recognize her.

On the way home I thought of another way I could possibly take the bus for my return trip. It still would mean walking about 8 or 9 blocks, but then I'd be dropped off within a block of my apartment. I might try that next week.

My mom has bought her tickets to come here in September - $137! Awesome price! Now we wait to see if my brother actually buys tickets .... or it it'll just be me and her.

I redeemed for a $25 PP from SBs today, and thanks to my SBs Visa, I am about 300 towards my next one.

I got an email from the place I ordered the 2" washers from - total cost with shipping is $18.48. SO much cheaper than Amazon's fractional plates. They are already here in the city, so maybe I'll get them tomorrow before I head out to the gym for my next weight lifting workout. Smile

I was reading "In the Unlikely Event" by Judy Blume today at work (Great story so far!) when a lady came by to buy a bus pass. She asked me if I liked to read. Big Grin There followed a nice 5 or 6 minute conversation. (She also is an avid reader.) That was fun. Smile

No spending today. (I think that makes 5 NSDs for July?)

    It was MEC. Smile
    VS - Well today (the 8th) should be no spend day as well, so that'd make 6! Big Grin

    When I worked in a public library, I was sometimes recognized by patrons when I was out and about. I hardly ever recognized them!

    CB - There's some people that come in that I think I'd probably recognize just about anywhere Smile but most of them I don't think I'd recognize.
