Hey look! I’m not dead and just posting horrorscopes!
Heh, anyway, this weekend was pretty busy. I created a psycho Friday/Saturday schedule, of back-to-backs at both my office and with my private clients, including a straight 4-hr/30m break/1.5-hr Saturday. Though, it was fun and I was surprised at how not-so-stressed I am over it.
Sunday was a celebration of the Su-ness. So Happy Birthday psychosu!!!! I love you, you’re amazing and you’re looking fabulously hotter than normal!
I’m still learning to trust in the universe, in fact, I’m about to take a huge leap of faith. I finally put in my resignation, and I will be focusing completely on my company. This means my budget deficit is 100% on my shoulders, which, funny enough, I can tolerate more than relying on an outside company to help me fall short. So right now, I place my trust in the universe to put the doors there, and in me to find and open them.
And on that note, since it’s been almost 24-hrs since I started this post – apparently, I needed to learn a lesson in generosity (or keeping track of my stuff).
Yesterday, I went in search of apples, which should have been a 1.5hr trip, ended up being a 5hr trip. So, lesson there, take the buses I can be sure of – namely the #30 or 33. The bus that dropped me off, never re-appeared at the stop it dropped me off. To top it off, my fresh 30-day bus pass was left on said bus. So someone got a nice donation of free bus rides. But at least I got my apples. What I’m taking from this, is use transportation close to home, keep trips within distance of the rail lines (as they are more regular) and keep bus trips limited to the buses I’m familiar with and closer to the ‘wealthier’ areas. I hate to say that, but the bus I took out went through the lower income areas, had a long route and had a driver that was running behind. This is the second bus that ran through the same area that I’ve had an issue with. I’d chalk it up to lack of familiarity, but had I had afternoon clients, I would have been screwed by that. So, going to Buckhead and through Roswell is OK. P’tree Industrial, not OK, unless I’m going a walkable distance. I truly feel for the folks that rely on those buses to get to and from work. Not being reliable = inability to hold down a job.
In other news, I want to get back to my creative side. The train/bus is helping that, since it gives me time to my thoughts. As does the walking I do, through the older parts of residential Buckhead.
Ugh, so many thoughts in my head!!!! I’ll post again later, since waiting would add another day, probably. 🙂

Have you thought of using your bike to get around between the stations and your final destination?

When it cools off a bit more, yes. I get sweaty enough with the walk. 🙂

Well, with cycling at a reasonable pace you’d get some greater amount of breeze. And you can coast. You can’t coast while walking.

No, but I can’t bike to my office without following the streets, which means making a U-turn, unless I go through the neighborhood. Buckhead isn’t the problem, it’s the Chamblee office, the bus routes out there are too sketchy.

U-turn? Go out of the marta station on the north side where the buses come in and out (there’s a drop off there) on the Downtown Chablee side. Up Peachtree road, left on Broad and you’re at the shopping center after you cross Peachthree Industrial.

In Buckhead. You have to take P’tree South, then left at Piedmont, down to the Buckhead Bread co then u-turn back north.

Did you investigate that pedestrian bridge?

That goes to Lenox, not Buckhead station.

Here you go.

Actually, better yet, you can take Highland drive to Park Circle to Martina Drive. The Bridge for East Paces Ferry Rd could also work to get to the MARTA station. That’s a nice neighborhood in there so it should be reasonably safe.
