Today I had a KD CAB meeting at Boston University. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to attend, but the weather was nice and it seemed like I'd be able to park fairly close to the building the meeting was in (and I wasn't in labor). I drove into Boston, made it to BU without any problem, and found a parking lot in the high 600 block. The building I was going to was in the high 700 block. That didn't seem that far to me.
So, I park and start walking (my ob should be so happy since she told me I needed to walk). I'm a little behind schedule so I'm trying to walk quickly. Within seconds I am huffin and puffin like I smoke 12 packs of cigarettes every day for the last 20 years.
And what I thought was a close parking lot...12 city blocks later I finally make it to the student union! I make a pit stop at the Starbucks, can't find the elevator, and end up walking up 2 flights of stairs. I could not have been breathing any harder if I had run a marathon. On the 2nd floor I find the information desk and the elevator. Of course the meeting room is at the farthest point away from the elevator, but I was so happy to have the elevator and be in the right place I didn't even care.
The meeting was fantastic and we got done before it got dark out. I took a leisurely stroll back to my car. Of course apparently people LOVE to run/jog through the BU campus because I think 150 runners passed me. What seemed to be the BU cross country team started to pass me just as I got to the parking lot and of course I was walking on the right side of the sidewalk so that my purse was near the snow (figured it'd be harder for someone to steal my purse this way) and then had to figure out how to get my fat ass through a break in the runners. Not so easy when it takes you 5 minutes to move 5 feet.
All in all I was proud of myself for my outing and for not falling asleep when I got home. Still not in labor (that Mexican food thing is a lie), but am hoping for a good night's sleep after all the fresh air I got. lol
