I just got in! I did something very exciting today: I took a new bus home.

I love taking new buses. I like seeing where they go, how they get to the end of their journey. I enjoy finding new ways to get from there to here. So today, I left work at 5 on the dot to walk to Atwater and catch the 104, which MLG informed me stops two blocks away from my apartment building.

It does. It did. I�m home, without having had to descend into the depths of the subway, switch cars, and stand on the packed 105 on a day as beautiful as this one.

One simple bus. I�m thrilled.

On the other hand, I still have to bus-metro-metro in the mornings because the 104 passes here at either 8.40 or 9.31 AM. Twenty or twenty-five minutes in to the city, and wow, look I�m either really, really early or just a bit late.

The quick and easy trip home on a Friday after a long week is quite the gift, though. Hurrah! Let the weekend begin!

Sigh. Wake up – can’t talk. Growl and gurgle at cats until some semblance of vocal production returns.

I discovered, to my immense annoyance, as I was proof-reading another contract last night, that we have no corrector fluid. No Liquid Paper. No corrector tape. Anywhere. I deliberately hid the corrector tape from my klepto-like husband who walks off with supplies and loses them somewhere (probably the same place my cat hides pretty sparkly things she finds), and he apparently found it because it’s not there any more.

Why is this a Bad Thing? This is a Bad Thing because I was given hard copy to edit. In future, I will make a photocopy and scribble on that, because I obviously can’t be trusted with an original. At least, not after an eleven-hour day in retail.

I will go to work early and make use of the corrector fluid there. Ha.
