Daily Thoughts
Right now I'm just sort of wasting time until my phone interview today. (I have about 20 minutes.) I'm so tired though. I don't know how well it's going to go. I just couldn't sleep last night. Probably due to some anxiety about this interview and life in general. And the fact that I didn't get home until 10 last night and then had a hard time falling asleep.
What was I doing until 10 last night, you may be asking. Well, let me tell you....
Yesterday afternoon I went back to Ellicott City. Took my camera with me this time. I just walked around town for about an hour. Parked at the bottom of the hill, walked all the way up the hill, then back down the hill, and then about 1/2 way up and back. It was kind of tiring. Also brought home the fact that I am really out of shape. I don't know how well my pictures are going to turn out, but hopefully fairly well.
Then I drove to Columbia, about 20-30 minutes away, to get my sister's boyfriend. He and I went up to Baltimore. We took the first parking we came to. It was $8 an hour!!! I would have driven on, but there was no way to turn around. We were there for 3 hours and ended up paying $20. I will be looking for different parking next time I go up there. That's just freakin' outrageous!
Anyway, P. and I walked around the Inner Harbor. Again, there's something about being near the water that I like. We wandered around the Inner Harbor for a bit. I took some pictures. Then we headed over to check out the Holocaust Memorial. It was interesting. There are so many Holocaust Memorials around, and each one is so very different.
We walked over to the War Memorial building as well. We didn't go inside (it didn't appear to be open; there was someone sleeping in front of the doors). But walking there and back we got to pass the....I think it was called "the box" or something...it's this street that has strip clubs and other related stores. Apparently Baltimore has a theater that shows porn. An actual movie theater with a marquee and everything. My sister and her friend who lives there both thought it was an actual theater when they first saw it, but then after reading the movies showing realized that it was not a theater that they'd be going to.
After wandering the harbor for a few hours we left to go meet up with my sis in Canton. Canton square is a nice little area. There is a little park in the middle and on two sides there are restaurants and bars. One side has a church and across from the church is some other building, that looks like it used to be a firestation or something. My sister, her boyfriend and I grabbed an appetizer at one of the restaurants. The her friend came and we headed to a different restaurant for dinner. Good food.
Then R. took us over to her place so we could check it out. Her and her husband bought this row house in Canton [one of Baltimore's neighborhoods]. It's really cute, and surprisingly large. The houses are long and narrow. From the outside you would not think that they are very big, but they are. And their house had a lot of storage. It was cute.
So we headed home around 9 and it's about an hours drive. And luckily I made it home with less than a 1/4 tank of gas. I meant to get gas in Baltimore, but forgot until I was already on the interstate.
All in all it was a good day, just very tiring. I'll probably try and take a nap today. Well must go.
