I take Trevor and myself to Rama Lotus on Gladstone and Bank on Wednesdays for mom and baby yoga class. Last week I begrudgingly turned into the parking lot I usually park in the evenings even though it was 6$ only to realise that it was valet. I didn’t want to be late so I reluctantly gave over my key. When I got back the door was open and the key was in the ignition. Not that I have anything valuable in the car or that I don’t have insurance, but anyone could have jumped in the car and driven off before the attendant even knew what was going on.

This was enough to make me reconsider going to yoga classes downtown during the day, but the class was quite good so I decided to park in a different parking lot next time. So today after circling around for a bit and backing out of some tight corners, I finally found a place. I had a bit of trouble parking in, but the guy who was there (who had to wait to get out until I was parked) ended up giving me his parking stub so at least I parked for free. On my way out, I gave the stub to another guy and then proceeded to back into and scratch his brand new car. He let me go free, but he was not happy.

I will give this class one more chance, but if there’s any trouble next time I will have to find another activity for Wednesday mornings.
