Our air conditioning is broken and won't be repaired until tomorrow. My wife took the opportunity to take herself and the kids to her parents' for the evening where it's still cool inside. Great! It's been a while since I've seen Danica. I took out the dress that my wife bought for me a few years ago, made myself up, donned some nylons and heels and I was good to go! Now, I could have easily stayed in like a bore. Instead, I was inspired to finish whatever evening chores I gave myself, then go for a drive!
I had only been outside a few times, mostly in my back yard and once around the block in a skirt, so going anywhere farther than my front porch is an adventure. I grabbed one of my wife's empty purses to carry my ID, keys, and phone, locked the door behind me, and before I knew it I was off. Where would I go? Well I didn't bring any money, so no drive through for a Diet Coke or anything. I drove around my neighborhood just soaking it in. Eventually I found a court which didn't have every porch or garage light on and put the car in park. Here goes nothing.
And it was almost nothing (except the rush on the inside). Aside from the car passing by, nobody (that I know of) got a look. I walked down the block and back, which to me was a great success. I kept driving around town for another 45 minutes or so, found another avenue to walk along, and came back home. It felt great to do! I'll share a pic or two when they've uploaded. For now, I'm going to relax and enjoy my small victory.
