the things one does for cats

So, I had to drive in to work today because of getting Neko. It took, I kid you not, 2 1/2 hours to get from Andover to work.



What I have done here is mapped out a timeline. Plain text is where I was this morning; italics text is where I would be on a normal workday.

6:30 Waking up; asleep
6:45 In the shower; still asleep
7:00 Medicating a rat; still asleep
7:15 On I-93 somewhere between exit 43 and 42; still asleep
7:30 On I-93 somewhere between exits 42 and 41; waking up
7:45 On I-93 around exit 41; in the shower
8:00 On I-93 around exit 38; medicating a rat
8:15 On I-93 just past Rt. 128; leaving home
8:30 On I-93 somewhere near Medford; just exiting I-93 at exit 37C for the Anderson-Woburn train station
8:45 Somewhere near Kendall Square; getting on the train
9:00 On Comm Ave after being diverted (no traffic could cross Comm Ave at BU; the lights were not working); on the train somewhere in Somerville
9:15 In Brookline approaching the Longwood Medical Area; at the North Station T stop waiting for the Green or Orange lines
9:30 Walking from Childrens Hospital parking garage to work; on the T
9:45 At my desk; At my desk

OK, admittedly this was a hellish commute, but there is a reason I prefer to use public transit. Plus my right leg is sore from hip to ankle from riding the gas pedal, and my right arm is sore from shoulder to wrist from using the shifter. And I'm going to pay $25 for parking, too.

I hope the kitty will appreciate the effort you went through.
