I've been sucked in...
to the world of Pokémon Go. It's good as I'm actually getting outside more. Yay! I'll probably play on campus the most. I've got multiple Poké Stops within a block of just the front of my building--Wisconsin Institutes for Medical Research (WIMR). There's the Medical School, the Nursing School, the Nielson Tennis Stadium, the Waisman Foundation, and a bunch more; most accessible just from the front of my building. I'm sure if I walked further, past the UW Hospital, the AFCH Children't Hospital, the Veterans Hospital, the Medical Foundation Centennial Building (they're all connected into a huge conglomeration), the Pharmacy School, and more. Plus, there's gardens and memorials all around and inside the buildings. As long as my GPS holds. Inside WIMR, GPS won't work until you're close to a window. Bummer. No getting pictures of water Pokés with my tea. Adagio is running a contest; we'll see if I can get some at home.
So! I had a busy weekend! Went to an art fair in Delafield with a good friend and picked up a new lanyard for work and a pair of turquoise earrings to match. When we came back, we sat around my condo and gossiped. :) Didn't get out for any PokéGo, though.
Sunday, I went down by the park by my house, about 3 blocks from me. It turned out to be the closest Poké Stop to me going south. Haven't tried north of me, yet. Cut my stay at the park short (there were Pokés all over the place and one guy had just thrown out a lure), because MOSWUITOES. Holy Hell, there were mosquitoes. Took an allergy relief tablet as soon as I got home and that seems to have killed any itching dead in its tracks. I will make sure I slather on mosquito repellent if I go out again, tonight.
