I was gone all week on a work trip and I guess that threw off my daily routine enough that I didn't get around to blogging. So here's a random assortment of updates:
- I finally got my Fiat back from getting fixed! I was rear-ended on my way home from work a little over three weeks ago, and I picked up the car from the shop yesterday after my flight landed. We may have to take it back, unfortunately, because it feels like there is a wiggle in one of the tires - they replaced the rear left tire as part of the repairs. I am bummed that I may have to be separated from my new car yet again in such a brief time frame but I guess that's just how things go.
- We are going to see Bruno Mars tomorrow night! He didn't schedule a stop in St. Louis on this tour, so we are driving down to Memphis for the day. Neither Eric nor I have ever been to Memphis so this mini road-trip will actually check two things off our list.
- It's been a surreal couple of days in St. Louis. Surreal probably isn't the right word, because it's all too real. Painfully real. I've been reading all the news and comparing that against updates being posted by individual members of the community participating in the protests. I always get paralyzed by indecision in situations like this and end up feeling helpless. I need to stop spinning my wheels and figure out how to contribute in a positive way.
Despite all the bad stuff that goes on here, I still feel a really deep love for the city. I can't really explain it, but there's nowhere I'd rather be right now. I need to think more about why that is and figure out how to take a more active role in the community.
