Well, I enjoyed the train ride and the bike ride to and from work. I was practically ecstatic when I arrived at work in the morning. Arriving to work early having done two of my favorite things (reading and riding my bike) before work even starts is a major contrast to my usual frenzied, frantic yelling-in-traffic-because-I'm-almost-late-why-are-there-so-many-accidents mornings. It was a long day, though. There's just something about being in a moving vehicle that saps the energy out of you, even if you're not driving. It didn't help that I extended my day by riding the evening train two stops past my house so I could go to the mall to get my hair cut. Add to that my 2-hour haircut (the guy does a great job, but boy is he slow) and the extra 9 miles I had to ride my bike from the station to the mall and from the mall home, and I was pretty tired by the time it was all over. Too tired, in fact, to get up at 5 am this morning to try it all over again. I did get a 10-trip ticket, however, and I will at least be giving it a few more tries, motivated a little more by my 1-1/2 hour commute home this afternoon in the car.
