susandennisI wanted to see a movie that started at 2:30. It was at a theater that is a little fiddly to get to on the bus and has free parking so I left the house, in the car at 2 to give me plenty of time. I remembered when I hit the streets that a major highway and bridge are closed for the weekend. The surface streets were PACKED and barely moving.
Then I got on the connector to the Interstate and it was backed up a LONG way. WTF??? I quick consulted the Seattle Traffic app on my phone an discovered that the road from where I was to where I wanted to be was solid black - meaning slow to no moving... So I waited for an opening, cut across 3 lanes to the exit going south and headed home.
I did not want to see that movie that badly. I have movies on TiVo and there are baseball games and when I walked back in the door, Betty was clearly thought I had made the right decision. So here I are.

Swim class was excellent. Lots of people I knew but even more importantly one of the very good teachers and it was just a good good class. After class I did some noodle work. I have this idea that standing on the noodle in the deep end - and walking up and down it and bouncing up and down while staying balanced on it is good for my core strength and good for my balance and it's fun. An I've gotten pretty darned good at it.

I had brunch at Smith - I need to add a blog entry cause I had something different this time. It was delicious.

And that's all the news that's fit to print here ... so far ...

Date: 2012-10-06 10:39 pm (UTC)This is partly why, as long as I'm working IN the Seattle/Bellevue area, i won't move anywhere else in the region, as traffic is just the suxors much of the time.
Glad I didn't try to head into Tacoma today, though don't know about how tomorrow will fare as I need to go down then.
