3 hours walking is not a good idea anymore...

Alright - here's the confession - I need to slow down.
I'm really good at getting pumped to go downtown for a walk - some Lady Gaga, Britney Spears and Taylor Swift get me going....but coming back - the old people with their cross-country ski poles pass me..it's sad.

Anyways - today's adventure was to call the vet - and nobody spoke English. But at least I made my first call successfully. I was looking for the flea drops and she told me to call back - I never did. As I figure that it's slightly pointless as she'll probably still be on the phone 2 hours later.
So I've put a post out there on the Finnish Forum I read frequently - hopefully somebody knows. It's not that the vet is far away - I am estimating about a 10-15 minute walk - UP HILL. Up a very steep hill...that's all.

I didn't go to the medical clinic. Maybe tomorrow - which is pathetic because the parking lot (as previously mentioned) I can see from my living room window.

2nd thing on the agenda (well I suppose 3rd) - was to go to Elisa and get an updated version of the CD-ROM I need to install the modem. However it's still not working and that was a 30 minute jaunt downtown. I'm getting very frustrated by the whole process overall.
I have internet - when I don't necessarily want or need it.
It's when I do need it or am planning on meeting someone online - that I don't have it.
ARGH.

I figured since I am downtown I may as well go to the library and return one book while finding some on needle felting. The first lady didn't speak a lot of English and the 2nd one found me lots of books on wet-felting. I'm thinking the needle felting ones were all checked out as I didn't see any of them on the shelves.
I'm going to hold off on another trip downtown - as it's killin' the hips and lower back.
Time to post this before I lose internet (again).
