I am a bit sore this morning. Not horribly, but enough. I went roller skating last night. Lord have mercy on me. I only fell down twice which given that I haven't been anywhere near skates in 20 years was pretty good. I had fun too. It was a silly thing and gave me a chance to be goofy without the need for alcohol or spending way too much money.
We had a good morning/afternoon too. The kid's new college had an open house in the morning and we headed into the city around 10:30. Took the train which normally wouldn't be bad, but there was a baseball game going on at 6 and everyone was getting in line early to get their bobbleheads. I don't understand sports. Never have, never will. Regardless, the train even at 10:30 was already filled with people drinking and being stupid. We had to stand half of the trip and since none of us shared the camaraderie of our fellow passengers about grown men hitting a stick with a ball, it was annoying.
We got to the school right on time. The tour for her major was just heading out. Perfect. We took the tour, look at everything, then went off for some lunch.
Since I am supremely proud of the kid, we went to Neiman downtown. 7 floors, huge dome roof. We had a perfect lunch. Our timing was impeccable as when we made it back to the train station, we had to wait one minute for the train to leave.
Got back home around 4, took a little rest, then went off to disco skating.
How nice and relaxing a day. So normal and average. Even I need the escape of that.
Late last night I called my friend who I had upset the other day. She accepted my apology. Nothing more needs to be said about it.
Today we are driving the kid's friend home, then doing nothing. I need to do some paperwork but otherwise, nothing.
