Yesterday, I met steps but not miles and I was too tired to do the final 1/4 mile - some days you just have to be realistic and accept your limitations. I'm coming down with a cold which didn't help much.
Today, we were signing escrow papers for our refinance at 8:30 in Renton, so after I went to Ikea. They weren't open when I got there, so I sat and read and drank water.
I found several things I'd hoped to buy a clamp on lamp, a floor lamp and a hanging lamp, 2 bath mats, a robe, & 2 kinds of hampers, I moved the van into the loading zone, loaded it and when I went to leave, it wouldn't start. I tried a few times. No go.
I called AAA. While I waited I walked around and around inside the parking garage for about 45 minutes and racked up lots of miles.
AAA hammered on the starter (the battery was fine) and it started! He advised me to drive straight to a mechanic. So onward to Northshore Automotive. Because I got there between 12 and 1, there was no ride home so I walked in the rain all the way home. 1 mile which wouldn't be too bad but it was raining.
I was supposed to be at work by 1:00. I had to change clothes, fix Buddy's food and he insisted on a walk - he got a very short one. I went to catch the bus but was running late. I hoped it would be later, but it wasn't. I called Anna and she said she'd come get me. (Uber estimate was $19.00 - $20.00) I started walking towards 320th and she found me just past Westway.
I ended up with 14,094 steps, 6.06 miles and 1849 calories - I didn't meet the calorie goal. I've only met it once. Maybe the "natural calorie burning" will add up?
So tonight, I'm tired and my nose is running.
And I look forward to picking up my van full of my Idea purchases tomorrow!
