My Wednesday

Tweet

On my way to the dentist yesterday I stopped by the library to return a book I had borrowed and picked up two books. I didn’t really have time to browse much so picked up two books I stumbled upon. One was a book by an Icelandic author I had read before and another one was by an Armenian author. Both were translations of course. I am close to the halfway point with the Icelandic book. After my dental appointment, as I was waiting for the train, I heard someone yell that there’s a person on the tracks. I looked and sure enough someone was lying on the tracks in the distance. Then I heard sirens and many police offers came. Some stayed on the platform while others dropped down to the tracks and went to fetch that person. They came back with that person in handcuffs. I couldn’t tell if the person was male or female but it seemed like he or she was young. Wonder what possessed that person to do that. While I was waiting for the train it became very windy and started to rain… I saw trains in the distance but they weren’t moving. Even after the cops had already gotten the person off of the tracks. Guess they were waiting for the all clear before they could move again. When the train finally came I went to my mom’s house to deal with her clogged bathtub and stopped by the pharmacy on the way to pick up her prescriptions. Ended up having dinner there as well. Overall, it was an active day. Good to stay busy.
