Just today ....

I had a 9:15 appointment with an Integrative Nutritionist.  This post-menopausal time in life affords one a certain amount of "what-the-heck-I-want-to-try-that" so I made an appointment with this woman who is the wife of a colleague, and a stay-at-home mom.  I like to try to do everything I can to support stay-at-home moms!

I took the bus 3 stops, got off, and walked across the street.  These are some photos of what I saw on my way to the appointment.


Need a compressor?  Just go down to the corner, you can pay some money to have them help you out.


Need an ID laminated?  That's also on the corner.  Let's pretend this isn't really about getting a fake ID of any kind.


Tired?  Just whip out your hammock and take a nap.  When I think of all the trouble I have getting to sleep and staying asleep, I realize some people really do have an easier life than I do.


The coffee shop where we met.  There's a dance studio above it.  

Afterwards, I went to my favorite Nails shop, where I had a heel scrub and wrap, combined with a manicure and a pedicure ... all at the same time.


And today's nail art on my toes (I only get it on my fingers for special occasions).


And then ... there was yesterday.  I went to see the new Captain Marvel movie (which you should go see to support the concept of female super heroes, as well as strong female characters).  I decided to go all out and saw it in 4DX


What does that mean?  You have to wear 3D glasses and your seat moves.  Well, really, it more than moves.  There's a little platform for your feet, so it's like sitting in some sort of astronaut seat.  The seat rumbles, rattles, vibrates, hums, and moves.  You find yourself swerving to the right, to the left, backwards, forwards, and sometimes there's puffs of air at your feet, your ankles, or in your face.  There was even mist at one point.  It was HILARIOUS for someone who can remember when "Mary Poppins" was a big deal because they combined real people with animation.  I'm probably lucky they didn't kick me out of the theatre.
