I Made it Through the First Week

Walkway over the major roadway

The first week is officially over.  It feels like it has been much longer than just 5 days.  Of course, I still have things I need to get done this weekend. In any event, I've spent this evening relaxing a little.
I've been having problems with allergies all week, but I'm starting to think that my allergies are mainly from my apartment.  They got better during the day, but as soon as I walked into my apartment, they got worse.  Shortly later, I left to get some more groceries (I needed more than just what I was able to carry on Monday).  When I left, they started to get better.  In any event, I guess I'll have to monitor my symptoms over the next several days.
I walked to the grocery store.  I decided to go to Safeway because I discovered that was near PetSmart and Target.  As I was walking there, I discovered a much easier way to get to Shoppers!  Instead of having to run across a major road avoiding traffic as best I can, there is actually a walk-way across the road.  Imagine my surprise!  If only I had known about this on Monday!  I felt a little like an idiot.  But if I ever need to go to Shoppers again, I know a much easier way to get there!

It's hard to see as the sun is setting, but this is the walkway
from afar.

Now I have lots of food.  I can eat breakfast for real, rather than just a little bagel.  I can eat lunch, and actually make something for dinner!  I'm pretty happy.
