There was an extremely heavy gravity field surrounding my pillow this morning. I was unable to pull myself away until an hour after my alarm had buzzed. I am fortunate that I can flex my start time at work and their is a commuter bus that runs every 15 minutes from 5:30 to 8:00.
There are consequences to being a sluggard.
The early bus sails from Vancouver to Portland in less than 25 minutes. I usually still have coffee in my travel cup when I'm unceremoniously dumped on the curb along the transit mall. With every subsequent bus, there are more commuters clogging the freeway and the bus time is longer. With my extra morning bus time, I finish my coffee, look at the scenery, play Words with friends and begin a blog entry.
Off the bus, work, work, work.
Waiting now for the late bus home. Because of the stellar weather today, I pulled a light summer skirt out of the back of my closet. A strong breeze allows me to provide a minute of entertainment to other commuters by doing my best Marilyn Monroe blowing skirt imitation. A poor imitation at best, since Marilyn was not fat and brunette, nor did she wear sensible sandals.
A slow roll home, but no bus ride tomorrow. I will be hiking in the Columbia Gorge on my first federal furlough day.
