        Unfortunately not atm. I just got to my bus (train line not running) currently stuck in traffic 😔 and I’m starving. Last week stuck in traffic took a little over an hour just to get to my stop (not replacement bus)

          It’s crazy isn’t it this big build BS. I can’t believe we still have to pay for it lol. Hope you get home soon!

            I mean myki price will always go up each year but the fact that stuff are being build and we have replacements buses… they shouldn’t raise the price. Perhaps they need money to continue. I heard Victoria is in really bad debt. The highest in Australia, I think from back in lockdown

              Yeh it’s just not a happy situation for anyone (except maybe the constructive companies). It really stings when you are paying for a degraded service. I feel like for some of the roadworks the benefits are barely noticeable for the commuters too but oh well it be like that sometimes.

                Not to mention this increase is happening with the whole inflation. Feels like bad timing

      Me too. I don’t know where the time has gone but I’ve managed to whittle the time down today without being able to relax and do my own thing and it’s already dark outside.

      I think it’s time to enjoy the rest of the day/night now.

          What’s on for tonight?

          Will it take long for you to get home due to all the PT stuff going on?

            Depends on traffic. Last week took a little over an hour, not counting the fact I had to walk home after getting off the bus.

            Currently still in the city.

            Inching my way through town Bus is slow, getting a headache from hunger And I miss you (food!) And I want you (food!)

            And how I wonder (when I’ll get food)

            Lol if you’re reading it, trying singing it to Vanessa Carlton’s A Thousand Miles

              Ouch. That’s quite a bit of time. What is it compared to if the trains were working?

              Hope you’re rigged up. It feels cold again tonight.

              Don’t fear you’ll be home soon and you can get dinner soon after.

              I had to look up the song as well but I know the song but never knew who sang it and the name of the song but I’ll never forget the opening few notes on the piano.

              Now I’m going to try and sync your lyrics to it.

      Me too, it has been pedal to the metal from 7am to now. But I’ve whipped up a quick dinner and will put in a few extra hours of work because Wed is my last session with Short Term Awesome Psych and I might not be very productive after that.

      Once I get this burst done I’ll be able to take it a bit easier rest of this week.

        Excellent! Chin up and look after yourself. Remember to squeeze in “me time” or a treat yourself like idk ice cream, a movie whatever that makes you happy, even if briefly

          Oh absolutely once I hit about 8pm I’m going to sit back and enjoy the next episode of Mad Men. Ooh you’ve just reminded me I have a choccy bar in my bag as a treat. Anything nice planned for yourself?

            I plan to continue watching law and order suv (season 22) and I bought some candy, those scoop ones at Flinders Station so that will be my treat after dinner. Half way home now yay. Might rest for a bit once I get home and then shower before dinner

              Nice plan. Definitely a day for a nice hot shower to unwind. Think I might do that myself, I’m just about to finish up with this stuff.
