"I don't need a car."

"I don't need a car."

I'm 44 years old and I never owned a car, I had driving lessons though, but failed two times with theory. The nerves killed me, I stopped after several lessons, it just wasn't my thing. But hey I tried it! I never had the urgent or the need to take lessons again, I was fine. I could go where I wanted with the train, bus, bicycle or with a taxi. Though there were sometimes a few times I wish I had a car, that was when my Dad had to go to the hospital for his check ups, or for his little accidents. My Aunt and Uncle drove him always then. My Aunt nagged to me in that time that it was really time that I get a car, she was right then but it was impossible for me to get a car then. No job, less income, I just couldn't afford a car. Even now I can't afford it, and even I could afford it I wouldn't get one I think. I'm so used to not have a car, if I had one I guess it would just stand there, lol. 

Ikea on the left and the bus stop on the right...
 Today was Ikea on my to do list, I googled the directions by train or bus or both. It was kinda easy to get to Ikea, just hop on the train and then hop on the bus for a few minutes, the bus dropped me nearly of at the front door from Ikea. The whole trip took less then a half an hour, love it! Ikea was quit busy with here and there a few screaming and playing kids, that's what you can expect on a Saturday. Although it was still early in the morning, it was getting busier. But I enjoyed the shopping, taking my time and have a good look around, the busy crowd I took for granted, lol! Ikea has such nice stuff, and all for a reasonable price. Though I couldn't take that much with me cause I was with the bus and train, (I don't need a car." Hahaha!) I saw a nice tv cabinet but it was to heavy to cary with me, aswell a nice painting, to big, but oh so nice! 

Carpets in all sizes and colors at Ikea...
I bought a few items what I needed and what I kinda needed. I bought a collander, a bowl, a duvet, two nice brown buckets for the cd's, a cutting board, pillow chases, and a Swedish sandwich with small meatballs, lol. After several hours I went back towards home, I was tired and I kinda got what I needed, I was satisfied. Still it amazed me that the bus and the train were so easy, in a no time I was home. I still needed a few groceries, I did that right away when I got home. Afterwards I took a nap......................... I slept more then two hours, dang! The last few days I have been running around a bit to much I guess, tomorrow it's rest, rest and rest. This coming week will be busy aswell at work, it's all good. When I take enough rest, it will be fine.
