Waiting for the train

This little NY adventure involved getting up at 6.30AM to catch a ride to the train station with my uncle. But the first train I could get doesn't leave till 9.35AM. So I sip my scalding coffee and enjoy the internet.

I don't even remember the last time I had to get up that early. Maybe when I was working in Chicago? All I know is that it is dark, and having two kitties on the couch with me made it all the more unpleasant to get up. That was nice though. In the middle of the night, after letting Jack out, I felt little paws on me, then I felt something warm against my thigh. Belle had curled up against me. And every time I moved, she just re-cuddled. It was great. And since Pandora had no one to play with, she slept by my feet. It only confirms how much I want to live with kitties.

Staying behind in NJ meant I didn't have to ride in the van with my dad driving, which is usually a pretty dicey proposition. Sitting in the van, with him blazing across lanes, I just turn back into a surly 17 year old again.

Another train bummer - 30th Street station has a Ben & Jerry's with 3 new flavors (all of which sound amazing), but for obvious breakfast-oriented reasons, it isn't open yet. Because unlike all the grownups, I would totally order a 3 scoop sundae for 1st meal.
