Sleepy day and anger at the MTA
Oct. 17th, 2025 11:00 pmI woke up a bit before 10:00, and remembered that I was supposed to have a therapy session, so I didn't go back to sleep then. My therapist texted and I said to give me 10 minutes, then got ready and went out to the living room. We had our session, and I thought about going right back to bed but decided to eat breakfast first. So I did that, and even had coffee, but I felt so drowsy that I went back to bed, and went back to sleep.
I slept for hours, got up at 2:00something. Then I puttered on the computer for awhile, and finally took a shower and dressed.
By then it was 4:00. I put up some Halloween decorations, including one on the front door, and then puttered on the computer until 5:00 when I went to the Bronx for my meeting.
Did the nonsense of having to get the 25 first, and then got the 50 to the Bronx. As usual I had pizza first, and then went to my meeting. It was a bit smaller than usual but good. M drove me to the bus stop and I got the 50 just fine.
Then we got to the stop for the 25, 31st and Linden. I got out and checked my MTA app for the time the next 25 was coming. It said 23 minutes! So I checked my Moovit app, which said one was scheduled in 5 minutes. So I waited about 7 minutes. It didn't come.
So I checked the MTA app again, and it said at that point 15 minutes. So I said screw it and walked. And I beat the bus to 35th and Linden where I would normally have gotten off. I am pissed at the MTA. It's too far to walk comfortably and I don't like the dark walk at that time of night past a pool hall.
Anyway, I got home, and by that time I had to use the bathroom so bad I nearly peed my pants.
Then I Teamed the FWiB, and had my good humor restored. We talked for 45 minutes, then I fed the pets and started here.
Tomorrow is the day of the No Kings protests. I am not going to one and I feel very bad about that, but I said I would be the speaker at my meeting tomorrow already. So that's that.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. My meetings and the people there.
3. Pizza.
4. Halloween decorations up.
5. Naps.
6. Bed and reading soon.
Edited to add: Two things. Walked through Frank Bee's costume store after my pizza, just for fun. And texted with the Kid, who is fine.
