Not many of my friends understand the feeling of being completely stranded without a way to get to a place that you may need to go. In fact, the only people who do understand are those who are blind or visually impaired. Yes, if you're thinking that I am grumbling about driving, it's true. I am extremely fed up with being trapped in my home without a means of running errands or driving with the windows down and the wind blowing my hair in all directions. It is wintertime, guide dog travel is NOT the best means of getting places. It's snowing hard outside. I didn't get to accomplish what I wanted today. In this town I live in, there is no means of public transportation. No bus like NIU and if I want a ride I have to rely on friends. I would gladly take Jim places via walking, but I feel really bad for him sometimes. You can tell he's trying his best to protect me. But walking more than 5 miles to places I need to get to... I don't want to overdo it. I love my boy too much to make him walk for hours like that.
I'm writing all of this because I was rejected a ride to run errands. No one was home all day. It only makes me want to live in New York even more.
