Day 182

Time I left home:

A pretty typical commute today.  I enjoyed coffee and a peanut granola bar on the drive while weaving in and out of the cars that weren't going quite the speed I wanted them to go today.  It was sort of like a video game and I enjoyed it.

Day 181

Time I left home:

I definitely left really late today...while I don't feel like I'm on west coast time, I am noticing that my nights are lasting a bit longer than they should because of being up so late while I was in CA.  I thought traffic would be great leaving this late and for some reason I hit all the red lights and was behind loads of cars.  Finally, I went into the left lane and realized that I was going so slow because I was in a lane with 5 semis.  I love the semi drivers, but really, why that slow?!  Needless to say, once I went past them, the drive was amazing.

Day 180

Time I left home:

Wow...that's hard to read.  I didn't realize the sun was right in the picture sight.  It says 8:26 a.m. for those of you who care about details.  I just got back from the west coast so waking up at a time like I did today was a bit hard.  Yes, I was waking up at 6 a.m. west coast time, but then I got to go back to sleep, which was nice.

The radio told me about this horrible accident on my commute, right where I usually get on the beltway.  For a minute, I was going to bail and go a different route and decided, eh, what the hay.  So, I went for it.  I'm glad I did.  The accident was gone and everything was fine.

Day 179

Summer...the time when things are supposed to be easy, right?  WRONG!  As you saw from my last post...it's been busy.  It just keeps going.  I'm so behind in posting all my coming and goings...I'll recap for you this week.  Tomorrow I go on a quick vacation and then I'll be back.

I took Monday off (a vacation day!) and on Tuesday, I left my house at:



Arriving to work at:

A glorious commuting day indeed.

Wednesday, I left my house at:
 Arrived at work:

You'd think, based on the time, that nothing really interesting happened.  Wrong.  People were a little nutty both of these days.  However, because it's Maryland and everyone takes a break...life is grand.

Today, I left home at:

Today's commute was a bit more normal, although I felt like it wasn't really that bad.  I'm feeling pretty good about the mornings and how things are going. It may be because my air conditioner is broken and I've been enjoying the air in my car...hmmm...that could be it.

A week's commute-funky style

So, it's been a while and yet, I've still been commuting.  To give you an idea of my life...here are the pictures I've been able to remember to take this past week:


That was Monday morning when I was heading to campus to begin prepping for Summer Orientation...I ended up spending the night at a friend's house, so the next morning, I didn't have to leave until 5:20 a.m. because she lives so close to campus as well as the bagel place where I pick up breakfast.

This is Wednesday morning:

I actually thought I was making strides by eating this delicious breakfast...I was so tired, I couldn't event eat it all.

Got to work on Wednesday at this time:
 This was Thursday....I can't even remember if this was my arrival time or leaving time anymore.  See my fancy flip flop in the bottom left hand corner?


This is today, Friday, June 15.  I am still pretty exhausted, but my first meeting wasn't until 9:30 a.m. and I made it through traffic and starbucks all by 9 a.m.  Amazing indeed.  Make it a good weekend!  I hope to be back to a bit of a normal schedule next week.

Day 178

Yesterday, I left home at:

It's a super busy week at work, so I haven't had time to keep up with posting every day...I'll try my best.  It was a usual commute to work...nothing too exciting that I can remember, except being very tired.

Time I got to work:


Today, I arrived at work:

I decided to meet one of my students at the pool this morning before everything got started...that meant a very early morning for me and amazingly, I didn't have to get up before the sun.  That blows my mind.

Day 177

Time I left home:

This is the start of a very hectic week and a half.  My hours in the morning are going to change a bit and definitely my hours at night (although I usually don't post it)...it's Orientation season!

I was out of town last weekend, so I am trying to use up all the food in my house before it goes bad...I'm not doing a good job of that.  Need to work harder on that.  Oh well.  Oatmeal and coffee for the commute and now on to a day of last minute coordination fun.
