Flurrys of my mind and tummy
Not feeling awfully great at the moment, the veggie sub I got tonight from The Pie really didn't settle well in my stomach. It wasn't food poisoning (thank God). I have had that before, and I know to well that it comes on much faster then what I have been having. Plus can you even get food poisoning from a veggie sub? But either way it didn't sit very well, and thus I couldn't get to sleep and well... ergh.
Well I went out and had drinks and Sweet Potato Frys with Danny tonight at the Bayou. He really seems to have a big crush on one of his friends that I met last week, but poor kid seems to be suffering from the superficial 'girl-must-be-super-hot' factor at the moment. The female friend in question is pretty, but not exactly Linda Evangalista.
After leaving The Bayou, I didn't quiet feel like going home so I rang Dave where I met up with him at The Pie, ate, and went for a walk past the Rice-Eccles Stadium to see where we are going to stalk the ESPN cameras tomorrow. Gah. I should be in bed now getting a good nights rest, so I can be a Ute groupie in front of the live reporting. I will end up being so tired looking tomorrow...
We found a cell phone laying on the sidewalk walking to Rice-Eccles, so we took it to the Kinkos a few doors away, a few minutes after that we saw the actual owner of the phone (and a few friends) look for it, so we directed them to the Kinkos. Hopefully that leads to a few extra Karma points. It did give me warm fuzzies to help out somebody.
Driving home tonight was a nightmare, between the fog and the flurries it was quiet scary. I know the stretch of freeway like the back of my hand, but when you cannot see past your headlights it is pretty creepy, like being in a Stephen King novel or something. Anyway, I was going though one particular straight stretch of road, when I realised I would need to get into the right-hand land pretty soon because my exit would be coming up (not that I could see it, but I know the twists and bends of the road well enough). I was in the inside land, next to a big truck (a Carl's Jr. one funnily enough), so I speed up a bit so I could easily get enough distance between myself and the truck, thus I can go into the right hand lanes. But I got up a bit, and there was no cars in front of me, just me, and I sort had a 2 second panic attack. I couldn't see anything in front of me and there was absolutely no indicator to follow other then the lines on the road.
It lasted only two seconds, and I was smart enough to slow down, let the truck and a couple of other cars catch up and get my senses. Thankfully a couple of other cars started to pull out in front of the truck, and I was able to use them as some sort of security blanket, thus when I did speed up again, I did manage to get into the right hand lane okay.
Of course when I got into my neighbourhood, NO FOG! NO FLURRIES! That is the one strange thing about the lake effect, some neighbourhoods on the bench can get absolutely no fog while the rest of the valley is covered in it and it has nothing to do with elevation either, has higher up neighbourhoods can just be as foggy. Lucky location I guess.Gah. I need a tums.
