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

Your Wondermark link doesn't include any href info so I can't follow it.

Glad you're ending up on the plus side and that you can get home un-drenched. Also, congrats on that level of get-up-and-go-ness.

Finally - Lady Grey? From the name I take it that it's some variation on Earl Grey tea?

Hm. Bug in Firefox wouldn't let me put the link in. It works now. Or should.

Getting and going: I hope that setting myself up to get up early while it's easy to do so (look, it's light out at 5:30) will make it easier to continue in December. Hah? We'll see. But thanks. It is very nice to not feel so lumpish all the time.

Yes- Lady Grey is in the family of Earl Grey. I only see it available in the Twinings sample pack, which I usually get for work.

The current link still doesn't work but it's close. I think this is what you meant to past in: http://wondermark.blogspot.com/2008/06/420-in-which-one-thing-sparks-another.html

The link has an extra slash-quote at the end, so it still 404s.

I swear it works now- and thanks for the banana saver- normally I don't need one, but there was extra compression from the bungees. They do amuse, though :)
