This week

So, yesterday was pretty good. I needed to leave the house by 6:30 to drop my stepdaughters off and drive into Boston for 9:00. I woke up at 6:20 - oops! I was at work by ten past though, and that included an unexpected re-fueling, getting lost in Providence (AGAIN!), finding on street parking and walking from there. I even got out of Boston and drove to Warwick in 75 minutes!!

Today was a NIGHTMARE... I planned to wake up at 4:45 and take the train in and hit the gym for about 90 minutes before work. I just couldn't get out of bed, and when I did I couldn't get moving. I finally ended up driving to the train station to catch my normal train which was going to be 25-30 minutes late. Needless to say I was seething. The train picked us up around 8, and I got to work around 9:30. I want to be pissy about it, but the guy that tried to jump onto the moving train and is in the hospital, not to mention the other 1,000+ people who were late to work were probably having a worse morning than me.

It's really important for me to keep things in perspective - the last time the MBTA made me super late was when that guy shot his family and then committed suicide on the tracks. Not only were multiple lines affected for hours (thousands of commuters) but here is a guy having such a bad time of things he's killing himself and others, not to mention what it must have been like for the survivors...

Anyway, hopefully a story will be up tomorrow and I will link to today's drama.
