Good things come to those in traffic jams

21 June 2005

I was late for my kickboxing class. Due to stupid roadwork detours.
I was only 5 minutes late! And they wouldn’t let me go into the class. I was so pissed off. I arranged babysitting and everything! Grrr.
Now I had to find something to do that was equally productive.

I took a walk… in hope of finding a good place for a jog. (Jogging alongside a busy road is not my cup of tea). A park? A bike path?

Instead I found a library! Yeah a BOOK library.
I signed a piece of paper. Got a plastic card. And walked out of the place with 12 books and 2 videos. I went insane.
Books on vegetarian cooking, vegan recipes, Japanese block printing, knitting patterns, worm farm designs (don’t ask), heaps of kiddie books, music CDs and talking books on cassettes for Callum, and a couple of mountain climbing documentaries for my husband.
I could have sat there and browsed for HOURS.

It was worse than the internet I tell ya.
