So doing the 10,000 steps has given me a different perspective. Having the littles means I make a lot of laps around the apartment complex to get the steps in. I found that I had a whole bunch of new neighbors. There are only six families left that were here when we moved in two years ago. I know apartment living is transient, but this surprised me.
One of my new neighbors has a child who is sneaking out. Funny how that screen is out and hiding behind one of the bushes along a fence. And then if you walk in the day time you can see the hand prints where the window gets pushed open. Still wondering if I should say something to her mom or not.
Another new family blocked their bedroom windows with cardboard. That one comes across a bit strange. I understand not wanting people to be able to see in. But they can't see out either. There are other neighbors who have just put a curtain up with the blind and that blocks all things pretty well and still leaves a way for looking out.
I get lost in my brain while walking. Making lists. Thinking about life. Then I lose track of how many laps I have made. Too funny. It always works out that I get my steps in, but I find it amusing when I lose track and I only do 4 to 6 laps at a time.
I find myself talking to neighbors again. I kind of had a period of hibernation as I usually do in the winter. Walking means I'm out there at all times of the day. So I say hey, hi, hello, howdy. And then we go from there.
