I know I need to get a solution and resolution to this car situation and I am working on several options but in the meantime life goes on. It odd and weird. I feel like a bit of a loser without a car. I am at an age where I should be fine with money and have a car but its not in the cards right now. So although I feel odd I just keep it moving along. I don't think about too much about it anymore at all. Well I mean I think about what I am going to about a car in general but daily I just walk out the door and either start hoofing it or jump on my bike. I do not do one more than the other but I do prefer walking. I still go at a good pace and work up a sweat but I find it so much more relaxing because I can wear my headset, sing songs, and even dance at times -- oh such a treat for my fellow Escondioans. Plus I get a little nervous about the traffic when I ride my bike.
On Thursday I felt like I wanted to get out on Friday night so I called that woman I met at school who was really coming on strong with the friendship request to see if she wanted to go out. So on Friday I walked over to Cruzin Grand which is the vintage car show that goes on downtown. I got to met her mom and her niece which was nice. Then they left and we went over for tacos and a donut. Although she is from Escondido - she does not nearly enjoy the experience as much as I do. It actually freaked her out a bit how much I knew about Esco and how much I talked about it. Plus I kept pointing out everything, you get a different view outside of a car. The sidewalk on Escondido Blvd has the name of states engraved on the corners of intersections but the intersecting streets are named with numbers not named with the names of states - baffling to me. I hoped that since she was born and raised her she would know why, but she didn't. Although her dad was born and raised here in Escondido which I found amazing and she did tell me some stories that he had told her. She was much more relaxed out of class and not nearly so distracting. Later we ended up at Pounders - the local yokel, hard drinking bar - and shockingly the first time she had ever been in there. They had a cover band that sang "Voices Carry", "White Rabbit" and "Message of Love" --- that combination equals me loving it and dancing a bit too. Although she is very outgoing she was a little surprised at have very, very outgoing I was. I was just in a mood.
Saturday night a friend let me borrow a car so I went down to San Diego. Oh it was nice to get out of town. I went to the Starlight Theater and saw an 80's cover band there too, had a couple drinks at the Redwing and then a frozen yogurt. It was super nice to get out to get out plus the weather at night was so nice. It was humid all last week in Esco but the air felt so much cooler and more refreshing in the city. So all in all a good weekend. I also rode my bike down Saturday morning and did Zumba, so I got execise in. Funny though all this exercise and I really have not been eating badly but I gained weight last week? I am curious to see what the scale says on tomorrow night. By there is a brightside there too. I know not to put too much pressure on the number on the scale but even if I do not feel good about the number, I can't give up and stop the exercise -- not without a car.
I have some blisters on my feet. I fucking hate the hill I live on. It pisses me off each time I walk by the gas station and see how low the gas prices are. All that being said - I sleep really well, I use sun block but am still super tan, regardless of the number on the scale I feel super good about myself, and I have not missed any work at all. I have everything I need for right now and tomorrow I know that I will definitely be getting even more exercise!
