Routine Appointment

Went to the Dr. yesterday, this time was with the OB/GYN, Dr. Burrs. She's a very friendly, easy to understand, personable kind of person. I like her. The visit was quick though, mostly just questions, am I OK ? , any concerns ? , blah-de-blah. I'm feeling fine, same-o fatique, back ache, hungry all the time. We did get to hear the heart again, that was cool. That was it, see ya next month on your next visit.
My Dr. is in Fremont and I had to go to a co-workers house in Hayward after for a get together. Fremont to Hayward on 880 at 5pm is never a pretty picture but yesterday it was horrendous. A big rig had overturned on 880 at 238 in San Leandro, albeit on the other side of the freeway but it was blocking the lanes both ways. Luckily, I heard this before I got on freeway, so I decided to take Mission Blvd. I heard on the radio that the backup was from San Leandro, all the way back to Mowry!! Ugh! What a freakin' nightmare on a Friday at 5pm. So Mission moved along OK until I got to about Whipple. Then that stopped too. So I inched my way up to Industrial and took every back road I ever learned from my Dad and got there in almost exactly an hour. It was only 18 miles, but I thought I made pretty good time considering. It's weird and cool that I haven't been back in Hayward for any long length of time and I still know every street, side street and back road. You could put me anywhere in Hayward and I could get out.
