I must have lost 10 pounds yesterday

I walked 16 flight of stairs to get out of my building (in heels), then walked from 51 and 5th to Williamsburg Brooklyn. My feet were bleeding

During the last half hour of my 5 hour journey a woman came up to me and gave me a pair of flip flops. I wanted to give her money and a ride (John had our car at the Willy B waiting), but she left and I lost her. I will be forever grateful to that woman.

I hope you all are ok. We had our power restored at 2:30am, it went off again at 2:00pm and just came back on

That woman sounds like a fallen angel

Re: I must have lost 10 pounds yesterday

OMG Me too!!! We had to walk over the 59th Street Bridge. This was FH's 2nd time doing it. It was awful But I'm glad that we're all okay

Re: I must have lost 10 pounds yesterday

I walked down 14 flights and then walked from Hudson and Houston to 37th and 6th to catch a bus to Queens with a co-worker. Dad and FH got me there. Along the way I stopped at a street vendor and bought two pairs of Chinese mesh slippers. Wore one pair for the walk. Glad I did.

Ugh. I'm still tired

Here is my story..
I walked down from the 41st floor in my building. Second time I have done this.
Then walked to 45th & Broadway to meet my MOH who I never found. Freakin' cell phones, I couldn't get through!!! Then went to 47th and 3rd to a colleagues building. It was pitch black in the staircase so I never made it up the stairs to her apt. Then proceeded to walk over the 59th St Bridge. Met up with the most nicest woman who walked with me to 94th Street and Roosevelt Ave. in Jackson Heights. By the time I got to 80th & Roosevelt it was pitch black outside. The only light I had were the vehicles driving by. On every corner were men. I was terrified! I get to my aunt's block, 94th St. and I can't find the building. The buildings are all the same. Finally made it to her apt. Then my savior, FH, came to pick me up.
All I feel right now is pain in my thighs. But I am glad I am home.

OMG Wanda! That's awful. I woud've been so scared in the dark. We got to FH's client's car before the sun went down.

I'm so glad you're okay.

The cell phones were bad yesterday, but out of all my co workers I was the only one that had Verizon and the ONLY one with service and the only one able to make phone calls. I didn't get thru everytime, but would if I kept on trying. I feel like calling Verizon up and thanking them.

Re: I must have lost 10 pounds yesterday

cw- i was saying isnt it funny that cell phone are supose to be for emergencies, yet yesterday was a real one and most peoples phones didnt work

glad someone gave you a pair of flip flops, that was very nice
