Commuting
I decided I should try taking the train to work for a while instead of driving. If it works out I'll give up my monthly parking and just do the train thing.
I live a half mile from the train station, and I work about a mile from Union station downtown, so this is a way to get some exercise and (if I stick with it and give up the parking) save some money. And I really, really need the exercise. I'm not slender at the best of times, and lately my weight has been creeping upward...hormone pills and advancing age are not doing me any favors.
Fortunately I'm such a couch potato that 3 miles of walking is TONS of exercise, so with luck my metabolism will begin to pick up. Otherwise...screw it, back to driving!
Anyway, to test my resolve or something, the thunder god decided to rain all over me two days in a row. Today I had an umbrella, at least, but whereas yesterday it was a light rain when I was walking, today it POURED. My pants and shoes were soaked by the time I got to the train station...my pants got heavy enough to start trailing over my feet a bit, but fortunately they didn't try to slide off or any of that. And I don't wear anything particularly fancy, so it's all good.
Tomorrow, dry weather, pretty please?
