Last Saturday, I had one of the weirdest days that I can remember. I planned to leave my house at 2 to meet up with my Mom... but she got sick and my adventure began
Here's just a bit of how my afternoon went:
-Drove to the radio station to see if there was any random work I could do. (that is sad, I know) - nothing there
-Wanted to drive along the water, but I couldn't decide which city to go to
-Sat in my car near the Great Lakes Maritime Center for a few minutes
-Proceeded to the "North End" or the city of Fort Gratiot, hoping to find a store or something to catch my eye. Nothing sounded fun or inviting. So I looped back around and drove back south towards the downtown.
-Searched for the location of the former military fort, Fort Gratiot - ultimately couldn't find it
-Sat in a parking lot right under the Bluewater Bridge and seriously considered going to Sarnia - I have never been there.
-Was all set to go to Sarnia, but got nervous because I didn't know if they accepted credit cards for the bridge toll. Plus I was trying to figure out what I would tell customs when they asked me what I was doing. I don't think it is a good idea to say "I just wanted to drive over the bridge to see Sarnia up close." I am pretty sure that would have caused me to get searched at customs.
-Drove back toward the North End after being convincing myself to not to go to Sarnia - still not sure where exactly I was heading
-Stopped in the parking lot of Jimmy Johns in the modern day city of Fort Gratiot (not the old military fort).
-Sat in the parking lot for probably 25 minutes before committing to getting a sub sandwich.
-Started to head home... but then got distracted and stopped in my favorite park, Pine Grove, to watch the freighters and skateboarders.
-Went for a bitter cold walk along the boardwalk... wandered back to my car
-Finally, moved my car to the boardwalk in front of Edison Shores, turned the heat on, and listened to the radio.
Wow... what a day. (You must be really bored to have read this far!) It was the Saturday that could have been so many things... but turned out just being strange. Thanks for listening. I feel better now.
