Day 190....why do Fridays drag on?


Jul 29

Oh Fridays.....why must you drag so?
Eli took me to work today, and left straight from there and drove up to his folk's house to help his dad put in the new sun window.
I thought about them both all day long. I just really missed them a lot, and wanted to be home with them. The day just dragged on.
We had planned for me to ride the MAX and the bus home. I left work at 4pm. I walked to the MAX in Hillsboro, which took about 15 or 20 min. Got on board, and waited 8 minutes to leave. The MAX ride to the Sunset Transit station took about 40 minutes, and then I had to wait 15 minutes more for the bus. The bus ride from the transit center to the bus stop by my house was about 20 min and then about a 5 min walk home. It was strange to come home to a completely empty house, even the dog was gone.
Even though I was missing my fellows all day, it was kind of nice to have the house to myself for a couple hours when I got home. Of course I was totally glad to see them when they all got home, especially since I left my breast pump at work...my girls were very happy to nurse Martyn, ha!

I think I could take my bike up to the bus stop in the morning, and go to work that way on non-baby sitter days (while Eli's truck is out of commission) and then in the afternoon ride home from the MAX, or wait for the bus. I enjoy the MAX and bus ride, it just takes a lot of time out of my already short time in the evenings with my family. We shall see though.
