Some Things

Today, I Ran Errands. Like a Real Grown-Up Person. In A Car. Admittedly, one of them was foiled by the dry cleaners only being open in the morning this month, but I did ok at two of the three not-at-home parking options*.

I also did Yogalates, which I'm still not sure what it is (possibly on account of not ever having done piates). It seemed pretty yoga-ish to me, and I'm not sure it's worth doing for more than a few weeks: once I can keep my heels on the floor when the woman says so, is there a reason to do it? OTOH, woman was all "you do a lot of yoga, then" at me, which was pleasing, and seems fairly competent. Oh, and lives in Bexley, so it may be that if I give up and go to the Bexley Pilates place then I'd get her anyway....

* One of them had two parking spaces end-on-end, so I just drove through one and into the other. The other two, I had to just drive into. It took me a few goes. I got out of them ok, though! That's got to count for something, right?

Parking can be hard, so I understand. When I grew up in Chicago, I had parallel parking nailed, both driver and passenger side*. Then I moved away.

When I came back after many years, I realized that I'd basically forgotten how to parallel park, doubly so on the driver's side. Thankfully, I have a parking spot behind my apartment.


* There are *many* one way streets in Chicago.
