Reenergized!

I am back from my vacation with a smile on my face and abundant energy. I took the Megabus to the big city. The bus was delayed an hour. I would have taken the city bus to my son's, but wasn't exactly sure where I was going, so decided it was safer to take a taxi. I spent all the next day as part of a studio audience for two taped shows. Such fun! I must have bad bus karma, because I hopped aboard the city bus only to have it stop to pick up passengers and then grind away and die. I found out that I was near the Nature Center and the zoo. I enjoyed watching the butterflies fluttering gently around the haven. Stayed there until my peacefulness was crushed by several school girls. And I like the exhibits about living green. I attempted to take the bus back to my son's condo, only to have it pull off at a terminal. Sat there for a few minutes and then decided to give up buses and walk. I get aggravated with myself when I do the back and forth thing several times. Am I going north or south? Which way? Which way? I would have been really lost without the laminated map that I found at the Nature Center. The previous night we had sushi,so decided that what this rainy night needed was a specialty pizza, buffalo wings and a salad. With wine,of course. My son and I started the last day of my trip with eggs, hash browns, juice and toast at a restaurant. I then walked up to the Swedish American Museum. When I asked one of the workers if the museum was open, she answered, "Not yet!" I had forgotten that my watch was an hour fast! The exhibits drew me close to my Great Grandmother, Klara from Sweden and my grandfather. I attempted to tour the theater district, but no tour guide arrived. Could have been the weather or that the tours are summer adventures. I then walked up toward the bus stop. Once there, I ate a delicious wrap "The Sultan" and then read until it was time to catch the bus home. Here I am at work, reenergized and patience and helpfulness in place!
