We have church tonight. I planned to
walk as usual, however it is now raining. Unfortunately I can hear it hitting
the windows. I do not mind walking in the rain, but not when there is a wind
behind it. It can be quite uncomfortable ending with wet clothes, especially in
the lower leg area. I do not consider it such a deal when I am walking home as
then when home I can change clothes, discarding the wet feeling along with the
clinging clothes.
I spent some time this afternoon
walking around the block testing out the over shoe boots that we have. Leroy
wears them quite often. They are a little big for me and they slipped slightly
off the heel with each step. They stayed on my foot, but it made walking a bit
more challenging as there was a constant movement where there should be none. I
was planning to leave ten minutes early, but now I am thinking about driving
and leaving quite a bit later. Leroy will be coming from the museum where he
already has a car. People at church will be amazed that we would come to church
in two cars when we typically walk. For a while some people even wondered if we
owned a car. Not only do we own a car, but we own two of them.
Driving also means I will not get many
steps today as I was planning on that two mile round trip to add quite a good
amount of exercise. There is not so much positive about driving. When walking, I like being outdoors enjoying
the sounds around as well as the sights. When I drive I just try to pay
attention to other cars and street signs, etc. which is not such interesting stuff
as squirrels, twigs, and leaves. With the rain and the warm melting we are
creating large puddles. Flooding is being talked about quite a bit. One weather
condition creates another.
