ughhhhh

I hate days like this. When it's cr@appy out and my husband has a problem getting to work.

(He works in NJ and commutes 4 days a week from queens)

I get bombarded with text messages venting how much he HATES living in queens.

He does not do well in traffic...

wowsers, how long is that commute on a good day? sounds like torture!!!

without traffic, it's about an hour.

with traffic, it could be 2-2 1/2 hours.

I offered to move to NJ even though I would HAAAAAAATE to leave my neighborhood & family.

But now... I've committed to graduate school.. it'd be unfair for me to give that up to move to NJ

I got stuck in traffic this morning, sat for 40 minutes in the HOV lane on the LIE because a bus broke down way down near the tunnel, while we were all the way in the back.
At least I remembered to tinkle before I left home.

I gave up getting upset at traffic a long time ago. Nothing that I can do about it except sit back and close my eyes until we move again.

Oh Susi, I think I saw your bus!!! That was CRAZY this morning. It actually wasn't a bus that broke down, it was an SUV. A huge tow truck went in on the opposite lane and was trying to jump start the SUV when we passed by, so I imagine it must have taken a while for that big ol tow truck to be called and get there. There was an express bus immediately behind it and a couple of cars behind that bus, then like a whole slew of express buses.

Our bus took the local lane which was horrid. The express lane started moving before we even got to the tolls on the local lane!
