Errands in the Rain

[kevin_standlee]

Today was a day for getting routine errands done. I would have walked the mile or so to my barber, but it was raining too hard, so I drove there, then took the van to get the oil changed, then did some grocery shopping and (after picking up lunch from the new Hawaiian BBQ that opened up in the Fremont Hub) collecting a replacement control knob for the washing machine in my unit. This took much longer than I would have thought it would.

The amount of rice in the Hawaiian BBQ worried me slightly, but the rain had let up by then, so I was able to get out for a walk down to the train station. It may just be a sign of how busy that stretch of track is, but nearly every time I walk down there, I see one or two trains. Today it was an eastbound freight, with a west (south) bound Capitol a few minutes later. Anyway, an hour after eating, my blood sugar was 118, which is just fine, so I guess I continue to do the right things. I still shouldn't have eaten the entire lunch, as it was too big. I should have split it in half and had the rest for dinner later tonight.

Seems like more and more places are serving giant portions. There's a breakfast place gvdub and I really like, but the omelettes are sized for 3 people who are going to go out and dig stumps later.

My favorite new place where I am living now has huge salads and entrees - I almost always split them in half and bring half home for a later meal (tonight I had blackened "dolphin" and yellow rice with steemed mixed veg and a cup of Beef veg soup; ate the soup with 2 crackers, the veg and half of the fish and rice)

I walk in the rain with a big umbrella and rough walking shoes. It works.
