"Canal Street, London"
Well I certainly put in a full day yesterday, beginning my day at the usual 3 AM. When I left the apartment at 5:30 I had no idea I would not return for good until 9 PM. My work day was wonderful as usual with good business flow all day. We added a new cast member who quickly got on board with the program and added to the good mix we have going. It was after work when things got interesting. J let me borrow his car after I got off around 3 so I could gather some groceries or go out to eat. I went home to change clothes and of course turned to the computer where I found three IM windows, 18 emails and a G reader full of articles. Then Will called and we talked for a little bit while I was chatting with the Lunch Lady on Messenger. Will is feeling much better today although it is only -8 degrees in Omaha right now (Brrrrrrr). While we were talking, A called on my cell phone wanting to borrow me for half an hour to go with him to pick up G's car at the Volvo dealership so I could drive the Lexus back to the store. No problem there, or so I thought. A drove over and picked me up. We arrived at the Volvo place on the other side of town in good time and the drive back to the store was uneventful. When I got back to the store A had discovered he had left his IPhone at the Volvo place but was needed at the store. He asked me to retrieve his phone for him and I said I would. By this time it was 5:oo and traffic time. Luckily I have enough knowledge of the area to avoid the hot spots and travel fairly expeditiously even at high traffic times. I did not go near the freeways (lol). Still it took a little longer to get there and back than it did the first time. However cruising around in a Lexus SUV is not exactly hazardous duty now is it? I got back to the store and walked over to the apartment where I had left J's car and went upstairs. I got back on line for a bit talking to Will before finally electing to go to Popeye's for chicken instead of the grocery store and fixing something. This was around 7 PM. I rang off from Will and head out to Popeye's where I picked up a box of chicken. I decided to drop the car off at the store then walk back across to the apartment. When I was walking into the store to give J his keys A was walking out and he said he had a plan for me. He asked if I would again drive the Lexus but this time out to his house while he drove the Volvo home so G could come in to work and drop me off in the process. So off I go again driving north into the burbs to Keller to A's house. When I got out to Keller I turned the wrong way on N Tarrant Road as it had been a while since I had been out there and I was approaching from a different direction than most of my trips in the past. I called A and got turned around quickly and got to the house, parked the Lexus and then got into the Volvo with G for the return trip. It was now after 8, so G took the freeway back down to the store. We got to going in circles a little bit when we got to the interchange downtown. The interchange at I35w and I30W has been completely redone since I last lived in Fort Worth so nothing looked familiar and we looped around a bit before finally getting off down 30 to Beach Street and the store. G dropped me off and I finally got upstairs for good around 9:15. I had to heat up the Chicken in Microwave. It was good anyway because by this time I was very hungry from not having eaten since 11 AM when I had a Torta de Puerco from Tapatia's. I started uploading photos for this post but grew sleepy after I ate, having had a rather long day. I lay down intending a short nap and did not wake up til around 2:30 Am. So here I am in my usual routine of talking with Will while working on my blog at 4:30 in the morning. I guess that about wraps up my little adventure for now. We will move right into some Random Hotness to appease the beast in all of us for this Thursday. Until next time as always, Enjoy!
