What a commute!!


Well if yesterday was boring, today started off anything but!!
First I woke up at 4:30am with this weird feeling like a buzzing energy runnin through me. Not painful just like a low buzz, very weird. Stayed up for a little while, not long, then back to sleep. Then woke up at 6:30am to the sounds of thunder. Didn't think anything of it, we were expecting storms and the thunder though it was often sounded far enough away, so I just fell back asleep for another hour. Proceeded with my usual, shower, get dressed etc, then went to the bank and the store to pickup some stuff, then saw there was a bus. Great! I'll catch the bus to the subway stop..perfect! And the bus wasn't even that full...even better! Then I started hearing...through my headphone... that the trains weren't running. So I took out a earbud and listend some more. Apparently there was alot more rain then I knew an no trains in Queens were running into Manhattan (has happened before, they flood easily if there's alot of rainfall in a short period of time. Ok no problem, I'll stay on the bus as it goes into Manhattan. It progrossivley got fuller and fuller and more crammed with people. Lucky me I sat down before it got full! yay me! So packed in like sardines we head off over the Queensborough Bridge. We all get kicked out at 58th and 2nd ave. So I think hey no problem i'll walk a couple blocks to the 6 train and take it downtown to work. Apparently that is not an option i found out as all the eastside train lines weren't running even in Manhattan. So lucky me (and many others) I ended up walkin to work. So 32blocks later (and this is short compared to some of the other stories i've heard) and much sweatier, i end up at work. Only took me an hour and a half, not bad. I beat my manager in and the VP. I was in at 9:30, hopped on a conference call that had started at 9:30. But was basically over by the time I got on lol.
Then later today it was off to the oncologists office. Throat still swollen with gunky puss stuff. So got 5 more days of antibiotics and will go back on Monday. No chemo. I'm bummed but I guess I got to let my body heal up. Only question now is, do i get it on monday or just wait till next friday when is my regularly scheduled day and just have skipped a treatment and tack it on at the end. my doc was busy so i saw his associate, but he reviewed everything and I'll see him on Monday. So I guess no chemo news till Monday. Oh that reminds me I have to report my short term hours!

Sorry to hear about your throat. Hopefully the antibiotics clear it up. I really need to get to the East Coast. I would love to see Manhattan. Maybe a trip once I'm better. Hope all goes well on Monday. Take care.
