So, yesterday
Feb. 11th, 2013 01:30 pm...I went out with two purposes: (1) walk off some weight before a cruise in late March; (2) walk around in the rain without freaking out or slipping again.
(1) The mall walk went well, except for including about $110 worth of (possibly) unnecessary conspicuous consumption and losing my Nexus 7 :(
(2) Walking around in the rain is dicey for me now, but I am committed to not having a phobia about it. I've been doing it for 51 years after all and made it this far before breaking a bone. Could likely do it for 51 more.
A moment from the rain: three women (including me) and two men are standing under the shelter of an anchor store entrance. Two women stayed there. I and the two men (clearly significant others of the sheltered women) went to fetch cars in the rain, two of us carrying shopping bags. (I'm pretty sure Bagless Guy belonged to the Sheltered Woman With Stroller, which was hung all over with loot.) Moments like this, along with being one of the few women at an airport baggage carousel or one of the few dragging out her own trash barrel Monday mornings, make me wonder if pairing off might be worth it.
Then I consider the other 90%+ of my time not spent wondering, dump my shopping bags in the trunk and move on. ;)
