In order to commemorate this amazingly awesome change in my life, I have decided to count down the days till I move with stories of "lasts." What I mean by this, for example, is that today is the last monday that I will ever experience commuting to work from the eastside... well, at least for a year. So here's to the "lasts" for Monday commuting.
Today is the last commuting Monday that I will:
- Not be able to sleep on my way to work due to an overly crowded, steamy bus that requires me to ride standing up if I want to get to work on time
- Be jerked around during my bus ride since this particular driver does not understand the need for finesse when it comes to breaking and accelerating
- Be a few minutes late to work since the bus had to take a detour off the freeway since I-5 was too jammed pack due to an accident (PS. this is actually the first time that a bus has ever gotten off the freeway early due to an accident or any other traffic blunder... crazy)
- Walk by the same woman asking for change each morning and saying "no" even when you want to say "yes" but are too worried about what she is actually using the money for or if it is all a con act since she is there EVERY morning
- Walk the necessary seven blocks from my bus stop to work believing that maybe this really does count as exercise for the day
- Walk the six blocks to my bus stop to go home again trying to figure out how many "miles" my total walking counts up to... good enough for the day? (probably not even half a mile... too bad.)
- Almost miss the bus going home like i always do. Seriously. Thank you red light that happens to change exactly when i need it to EVERY DAY.
The last Eastside Monday Commute.
Cheers to riding the wave.
