Haven’t been able to post for a few days because my home internet has been down and I have been’ too busy at work. I am currently away on a business trip although it feels almost like a holiday road trip.
I had forgotten what I love about big cities…the energy, the variety, the anonymity. I had a wonderful lunch and a great dinner, and spent the evening driving around. I would have stayed downtown longer this evening but I was wearing the hurtin’ shoes and I had to get back to the hotel to change. The hotel is sort of mid-town, so I headed in the other direction, and spent the evening in the ‘burbs along the western waterfront. And all day, I saw no one who new me, nobody stopped to chat, and I had no worries about running into someone I didn’t want to see, or the stress of scanning the crowds to make sure I didn’t leave anyone feeling like I had snubbed them. I have decided I can’t do the small town life 100% - I need to get away and melt into the crowd more often.
Proud of myself for not hitting the doughnuts while driving - doughnuts, doritos and coke have been my driving body fuel for years. And this time absolutely no wish for them at all.
I notice my face is looking thinner and I think my gut has shrunk…yay me! Even if it is an optical illusion I will take what I can get!

Glad to hear you’re looking good!
It is nice sometimes to just blend into a large crowd - I love that about big cities - anonymity when you want it.

That sounded like a wonderful get away!
