Finally this morning, I got to see my new neighbourhood in the daylight, as for the past few days, I've been going to work in the dark, returning home in the dark. The tour of the village set me back $$$! This is my rationale, and I'm sticking to it!
As a general rule, I try to stay away from public transportation. Since for number of years, I used my legs, the faithful number 11, to take me to work and beyond, I had forgotten what moving with the masses looked like; yawning, eating, spilling coffee, reading, sleeping, farting, knitting, applying foundation and mascara, and fiddling with electronics. All we need to make public transportation a real home away from home, are a few toilet bowls. I'm old-fashioned, I sit and stare at people, unless there is an unstable person on board, yelling and swearing, in which case I close my eyes and start praying! On numerous occasions I had to get off the train, or the bus, to shield myself from someone's insanity. My commute is always followed by NOISE! Noisy students in the morning, noisy fridge, fan and train that passes by my window, at night.
Now, if this body-under-duress doesn't deserve a few new outfits, I don't know what does!
