Pickup lines

"Hey baby! Wanna ride?"

"Hi there big boy! Want some company?"

The first was shouted at me a few weeks ago as I waited for the bus home. I was charmed, as it was Chris shouting it at me. He had a doctor's appointment downtown, realized that I was probably going to be waiting for the bus at the same time as he was going to drive home, took a chance and found me before the bus did.

The next was said by me to him, the next week, when I found him waiting in the car near my bus stop.

It's become a new tradition. He's always downtown Wednesday afternoons, so he picks me up. I was unexpectedly upset at missing it last week when I had to take Justin to the doctor.

Wednesday is quite the challenge - in a good, but rather exhausting way.

  • 7:00 => wake up, get kids & self ready for school

  • 7:35 => hurry off to bus

  • 8:35-approx 1PM => Musical Courts

  • afternoon => clients, research, occasional afternoon court appearances

  • 5:10 => car date

  • 5:40 => get home, whirlwind of getting kids ready to go

  • 6:15 => biggest weekly grocery shopping trip

  • 7:00 => taekwon-do

  • 8:30 => home, make dinner

  • 8:45-whenever => dinner, put kids to bed


Observations:

  1. I like riding the bus, I really do, but it's nice to get a drive one night of the week.

  2. TKD only once a week is brutal. Despite walking to and from the bus stop every day, I can feel my previous fitness leaving me :(

  3. After Wednesday, the rest of the week is like falling off a log

  4. 11:00PM sleep time sounds pretty good right now.
