I don’t have any new writing to report about today. I did not even journal this morning. I went to the RC for a meeting of a group that is being formed called Urban Explorers. The purpose is to share with one another about events in and around the city that are free or inexpensive and possibly gather as a group to go to some functions. There are many things going on now, so nothing was definitely planned. Some are interested in going to a Jazz Fest in Geneva on Labor Day weekend. I put myself on the list, but I am not sure I will attend.
Our bi-weekly writing group met this afternoon and we had a large turnout. We began at 2:00 PM and had not quite finished by 4:00 PM when we had to leave that room, so we went into another room for the comments on the last person who read their work and for me to read mine and receive comments on it. Some of our group left before 4:00 PM., but most of us were still there.
My friend was downtown and across the street and she called me to meet up with her when she finished what she was doing. I was going to, but I decided that I was not in the mood. I called her back and left her a message that I was going home. I did not go straight home, however. I had to get bus fare for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I wanted to get a 3 day pass but the machine at the Cultural Center was only taking cash, no debit cards. I did not have the cash then. I did go to my banks ATM and make a withdrawal, but did not want to walk back there.
The currency exchange I went to does not sell one day or three day cards now, Walgreen’s was out of them, so I had to go to the subway and put money on a card I had used up. Then I got the bus and came home. I had leftover pork and rice from my meal yesterday, so I ate that at 8:00 PM, later than I like to eat, but I had only had oatmeal and a bagel with cream cheese this morning, so I was hungry. Now, I plan to write in my journal and go to bed.
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE!
