Travel Blues!
What a day, I’ve had. I went to train station hoping to catch a train home for the holidays, but as the train was delayed by 2 and a half hours. That meant that Ivy and I would miss the last train from Philadelphia to Harrisburg, where my parents live. So, I went back home (after spending $3.50 for paratransit, each way) and risking life and limb traveling in the bitter, bitter cold and unplowed ice and snow outside the train station.
Also, Ivy and I are usually forgetful people, but I forgot my meds (Amy brought them to the train for me or my mom would’ve killed me for showing up at home without them, but Demi forgot her cell phone so I couldn’t call them to tell them to forget it because I coming back home anyway), plus Ivy forgot her shoes and phone. I swear the universe is trying to tell us something, but we’re too determined to do what we want to listen.
Now, the third “Get Martina home for Christmas plan” is that my parents and their repaired van will come get us early tomorrow afternoon, then drive us to Pennsylvania. I’ll let you know how it goes.
