I was supposed to have lunch with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
wild_irises. She never showed, and I was a little annoyed and a little worried, but calmer than I would have expected; I eventually came home to an email asking where I was, and saying she was worried but not annoyed. It seems as though the location she sent me in email and the location she put in her calendar were different, so we each spent a while waiting in a different place.
After I'd waited for about half an hour I ordered and ate some lunch, at that point still hoping wild_irises was just running late. (It was edible, but not good enough that I'll be going back, though the staff were nice.) After lunch I went to the University Bookstore to look at their stationery section, which someone had recommended. (Books later.) I got a few pens and a bright green eraser; they have the kind of pens I like, in individual bins so I can get my choice of colors, and in multiple thicknesses. (The selection is actually better than at the store I used to buy them at in New York.)
I got some tea, and then a bus downtown to Pike Place Market. The woman sitting across from me on the bus hesitantly asked me if I knew how to get to… and then showed me her phone, with "Pike Place Market" in the roman alphabet above an entire page of what I think was Chinese. I told her "that's where I'm going, I'll show you." So, we got out at Westlake Center tunnel station, which I think looked vaguely familiar to her: she asked where to get the "subway" to the airport. I explained that she would get it on the platform we were standing on right then, and then showed her where to get a ticket for the light rail. We went upstairs and walked down Pine Street together, and when we got to where we could see Puget Sound, she asked me to take her picture. I tried, but the images came out shaky, so she asked someone else to take a picture of both of us standing with the "Pike Place Market" sign visible behind us, and then one of just her.
I then wished her a good day and walked happily downhill to the market. I'm not sure quite why a friendly tourist in need of directions was so good for my mood, but she was. (The sunlight and caffeine also helped, of course.)
I came home with the chocolate covered cherries that I went to Pike Place Market for, and an unexpected pound and a half of fresh peas, the first I've seen this season.
Squats 3x15
Calf raises 3x15
Biceps curls 15 pounds each 2x15
Crunches 3x15
Lat pulldowns 40 pounds, 12 on each foot, 7 each
Row 55 pounds 2 sets of 12 (I think, it might have been 15s if I lost track of where I was)
Leg curls 60 pounds 2x12
Chest press 55 pounds 2x12
