I managed to stumble out of bed early this morning even though I was feeling pretty tired, but I wanted to get my work out of the way so I could take the train to the beach before rush hour.
I hate taking public transportation during rush hour; I find it claustrophobic and don’t like being in enclosed, hot and stuffy spaces that are packed with people.
Before 1:30 pm, the trains are mostly empty, so my target is to catch the train before that time, and for that, I have to get my work done pretty fast. Also, I’m going to meet with my HVAC tech buddy to play music at our sport in the church, and we want to get there early because it’s a great spot, and if we don’t get there early someone else could take it. We will hit some local contractors in town to hand out our business cards in hopes of securing weekly gigs, and then we’ll hang out and have a beer in a bar with climate control while we contemplate the sunset. I’m happy that the sun is finally out after five days of heavy rain and I can’t wait to hit the beach and have a beer in an air conditioned bar. I played soccer yesterday afternoon and my foot started to hurt again. Later, when I arrived home, I put a cooling gel on my foot, which eased the pain considerably. Now it doesn’t hurt much, but I think it’s probably a good idea to rest it for about a week to make sure that it heals before playing another match.
