I went today. I'm not thrilled with it. I don't know if it's an issue to many people, but it is to me. The sofa was too large and soft and I don't like sinking in where it was hard to keep my feet flat on the floor. He said he was hoping it would encourage clients to get comfortable, curl up, etc. I told him my shoes were staying on, and no curling up would be done.
I guess it wasn't so bad getting there. But today was a nice day.
I suppose I haven't really explained. In order to get to this office, I have to cross the Causeway.

Lots of people do it every day, and I wouldn't even have to do it in traffic.
But it's twentyfour miles of bridge. You zoom along at 65 miles an hour, with no shoulder, and a concrete wall on each side. The Causeway police are great, and there aren't many fatal accidents. But it is scary to contemplate an old car breaking down on it, or a tire blowing. To me it's like that scary stretch of highway that you hold your breath going over, but 24 miles of it. At least it's straight. Curvy bridges with concrete walls and no shoulders are the WORST.
And while the weather was great today, when the weather is bad it seems worse driving across that large lake. On a windy day it feels like you're going to take off, or flip over. When it's raining visibility is very poor. I know he does it nearly every day. And I should be willing to. But I'm just not a very confident driver.
But I'm not going to worry about it. I'm just not going to. I could get have a heart attack tomorrow and all that worrying would have been for nothing. I'll worry when it happens.
