VISI, day 17

Very little happened today of note.

I went to church.  I missed the bus to church and so I walked.  It was not far.  I walked in just as the service had started.

I bussed back and made lunch.  I played games most of the afternoon.  It was gray and rainy, and I did not really want to go out.

I considered not going to the concert tonight, but reasoned that since I had been inside almost all day, it would be good for me to get out a bit.

Except that I thought I had to leave at 7.15, when the bus left at 7.06.  I booked it out the door at 7.00 after bolting down food and pulling on a dress and hose ...  and missed the bus anyway.  I decided knew that the next one would get there only slightly late, so I elected to stay.  Something was nagging at me that I shouldn't bother, but I put that up to just wanting to not do anything ... so I stayed aboard.

I got where I needed to go, only to find that the theatre I was aiming for was, in fact, locked.  I don't know why.  It was ten after eight; the concert started at eight.  I decided that the area looked a bit sketchy and the last thing I wanted was to look lost and helpless while wearing a dress in a sketchy area, so I decided to head off and find a bus stop.  When I left, I'd been in a hurry, so I didn't know the nearest bus stop back.  I ended up walking in the wrong direction, getting help from an outside source, and walking back.  All in all it took forty minutes to find a bus stop.  I may as well have been at the concert.

I want caffeine.  I'm stressed.  I'm tired.

But at least there's no bird in my room.  I keep forgetting to tell that story.
