Of course the only day
that I really have to be out in the elements is the day that a major
storm wanders through town. Seriously this morning no problem was
actually up almost 50°. I don't have my book club until 4 o'clock
but I have to leave around two to catch the bus to get down there in
time while actually I go about an hour early so I have time to mess
around the library check out what's new but of course the rain
started just as I was leaving. I got soaked. I mean totally soaked.
The gimpy little black blanket I wear over my legs these days, my red
jacket with this little fleece like thing and then my backpack all
soaked.. Of course, when I asked library and if she had a hairdryer
she looked at me like the hobo I'm becoming. (I really have this
great hairdryer Dianne invested in at one time or another are
possibly Bridget, top-of-the-line heavy duty like standing behind a
jet it dries everything) but I take it the day Noooo. I was kind of
tharn-- see Watership Down ,
the library and suggested that I use the hand dryers in the bathroom
– – why didn't I think of that?!
There
I was in the West Jordan city library hunched over the hand dryers in
the men's bathroom holding my jacket so they jetstream could affect
any dryness that might come. Had I been downtown at the library there
I would've fit right in. That's hobo-ville but I look a little out of
place in the upscale library than must Jordan but that's okay I'm not
to deterred from trying to get some dryness back into my clothes.
It's not like I was totally undressed. I had my horizontal blue
striped shirt on, the one makes me look like a mattress, and the hand
dryer was just roaring away. I do get work 20 minutes on the project
and decided that was enough. Surprisingly my red jacket got fairly
dry. My stocking watch cap got completely dry, I even partially dried
the headpiece to my power chair is at least usable when I got
finished. I at least was not chattering my brains out by the time
bookclub started. There is only one consumer, actually two if you
count Eric but he's actually on staff of the DD Council but he also
is a person with the disability, but so my but I refuse to be part of
the target group. I am the volunteer with the disability. Jason, has
a significant disability and his staff and Ricky from Council and me.
We got a lot read. I was pretty glad to see the rain had let up as I
headed to the bus stop following bookclub. The bus driver who
should've put the ramp down so I can get on the bus while he smoked
so to babysit out there cold while he did his smoke thing. I was glad
to get home. I had turned the heat up to 78 for a left in the
apartment was toasty. I figured I needed or deserved the treat of a
warm dry space..,
