I went to a training this morning on co-occuring disorders (mental illness and addiction).  It started at 8:30 and ended at 12:45.  The presenter was an excellent public speaker and seemed to really know his stuff.  However, looking at him while he spoke provided my brain with a huge disconnect.  Dr. Mee-Lee is of Chinese ancestry but he's an Aussi (who now lives in California).  Watching him speak in his inimitable Aussi accent was weird. 

I got on the bus to ride the 25 or so blocks back to the center and it was excruciating.  I was sitting there watching the people out the window.  I noticed a man in a lovely tangerine colored suit walk by.  Several blocks later, I said to the woman next to me, "didn't we pass that man already?  There can't be two men dressed like that out on the street today!"  She laughed and said "It's not you, we passed him once before".  The kicker was when a man in a motorized wheel chair passed us.  I got off the bus and walked the last 8 blocks or so.  It's a nice day and it felt good to just walk.

Otherwise, things here are quiet.  Pk and I are going grocery shopping after work because tomorrow is our anniversary.  And while we're not doing anything special (next weekend is our train ride), I didn't want to spend the day grocery shopping.  I think I'll go to the seafood store and get some goodies and we'll have a seafood feast for dinner tomorrow. Maybe we'll see a movie but it'll be a low key kind of day.

Happy Friday!
