Life without a Car

They last couple weeks have been trying when it comes to getting around. Bloomington has a great public transpo system but when you are used to getting up and going whenever you want taking the bus can be a pain. I never realized how much you take for granted like grocery shopping.

I raced down to catch the bus and had to speed shop in order to catch the return bus home. Lugging grocery from the bus stop to the apartment was an adaventure in itselfs. The pull file cart dolly lost balance and started rocking and rolling all while I am trying to pull the darn thing up hill. Poor Natalie got stuck carrying the heavy insulated bag with all the meat and cold items.

Now I am not upset any more at being carless I know this is only short term and like I have said in before I am getting much needed excerise. Yesterday we walked a total of 3 miles just to get lunch and man was it hot hot hot. I am enjoying the one on one time that walking provides. Sometimes its just me and Nate and other times its me and Natalie.

I think this will kick start the weight loss I am trying to accomplish before we move and heck you cannot beat being in the sunshine.

I know I will look back on this and remember many emotions about this time but the ones I hope I remember most are the great talks we had.

There will be no walk today bummer.. there is alawys tomorrow.
