Cleverness ensues after temporarily not clever

+ Got up in time to go to the gym (this means getting on the 6:20 bus, for those keeping track)
- Left my wallet at home: necessary to use the T and to get into my building.
+ Realized I could bike into work and take my shower at the gym
- Banana destroyed in transit (bag of stuff, including lunch, lashed on to bike w/ bungee cords. Oops)
++ Happened to run into colleague I only see on the train and only rarely- headed to the airport for the ALA conference and we spent the train ride in talking about books
+ I actually ironed my shirt. They have it all set up in the locker room. I'd never bother at home. But it was in extra wrinkly commuting storage.
+I have multiple methods of getting home tonight, so if it rains, I need not ride in it. Hah-HA!

Additionally- on the topic of caffeine. I've decided that I'm a little too dependent, so I'm scaling back some. Not cold turkey- I've been on edge/snappish enough that I don't need to add lethargic and grumpy. Today's tea: Lady Grey. At least at the moment I feel alert

ETA: Today's Wondermark sums me up in so many ways

Dar Williams: Christians and the Pagans

I had thought I'd posted about this before, but I checked and I don't think so.

I can not listen to this song without crying. It's just so sweet and heart-rending. Gah. It just came up on Pandora

Universe is saying something...

So on the bad scale:
1. extra 30 min. added to the commute- more Red Line switching problems.
2. barometer is not treating my legs well (OW)
3. packed sushi house = slow service
4. Allergies kicking in again

I am not going to be shaking my groove thang after all tonight. D'oh. I will go sit in an air-conditioned box and see Angelina Jolie's tattoos, though. Sorry to all I'd see there.
