'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I hope you took care of yourself, Gud.

I got to do more Actual Job today... which involved some actual driving! The regular passenger work car is a Subaru Impreza with all the bells and whistles, so I did a couple test runs with my supervisor to some of the more common destinations (like Star Market and MGH) and showed off my mad driving skills.. in a most sedate and safe way, of course.

And then there was a group expedition to the Legal Seafood restaurant about a mile away -- with 8 residents, two of the Activities Coordinators, two brand new interns, and me. With 5 walkers to wrangle. And we workers got comped lunch, too! Nice little benefits with the job, huh!

I just had to share this. Latvia's starting to look good.

Our wings are not tired.

Woo, Theodosia! Makes the day go faster than watching videos, no doubt.

I'd hoped to be able to get out and do some fun stuff on a vacation day today, but it was in the mid 90s (heat index over 100Â°), so I just ran errands that I'd been needing to take care of. Still, glass desktop ordered, raggedy favorite shirt turned over to be hemmed, birthday card bought, and I established that Target doesn't have any necklace chains that will keep my tiny flash drive tethered so it doesn't go AWOL.

At least a really good BBQ truck made a surprise return to the city, so lunch was the best ribs I've had all year.

I'm afraid to go to Latvia, I'm afraid I'd call it Latveria.

Yay, Theodosia! How do you like the Impreza? I've been eyeing it for my next car.

I love my three-year-old Impreza.

It's very nice, feels very right-sized on the road. This one has a back-up camera and various features like lane detection and a little beep when the car in front of you starts to move away.

The bus is 10' 2" tall, which means it's not Storrow-worthy, nor a lot of the lower bridges on Memorial Drive, so I will have to get used to taking a couple alternative routes. It seats 14, plus a wheelchair ramp and space for a couple walkers. I figure that I'll take it around the parking lot a couple times, maybe up and down some side streets slowly until I'm feeling confident. It's not so large that it requires a CDL, but it would be very bad to have an accident in my first week...
