An odd interlude yesterday, and a gym post, because why not?

Yesterday we got out and about a little: Chinatown for dumplings, and then to REI, where I got a pair of water shoes (and some socks), and cattitude got sandals (and a shirt).

Lunch was at Ping's Dumpling House, where we like a few specific things, and which is handy to the 550 bus stop. We had just ordered dumplings when a stranger poked her head in, and asked us if she'd seen us on the bus. Apparently, having ridden the same bus in from Bellevue made us people to talk to, or something. She was looking for somewhere to have lunch, but also for a specific noodle dish: she'd gone to a place that she read about in the newspaper, and decided it was too expensive. We told her about a couple of things we liked, and then she started asking the proprietor questions, but left because they didn't have those specific noodles. A bit odd; I hope she found somewhere that had a menu she liked, instead of being too focused on the possibly contradictory goals of finding green barley noodles, and getting an inexpensive lunch.

I had a pretty good workout this morning, taking a bit of care because my right foot is tender (I'm healing a small cut on the sole of the foot).
