It's a beautiful day, a little cloudy, but it looks like it will probably clear up. I walk down to the bus stop, and I'm 9 minutes early so I'm waiting there and I keep hearing this weird jingling noise and i don't know what it is until the most adorable grey cat comes sauntering into view with a little bell on his collar. He's so adorable I want him to come a little closer, so I don't make any sudden movements and he goes on to the edge of the sidewalk in front of the bus stop. He comes right towards me, but instead of coming closer to me on the sidewalk, he walks onto the road and proceeds to flop on his back like Lou Lou (my sister's dog) asking for a belly rub. He is so cute, but out of the corner of my eye I can see the bus coming... and the kitty is practically right at the spot where the bus stops. So I kind of try and shoo it away, but it just keeps looking up at me with these adorable yellow eyes, and I keep looking to see where the bus is to where I'm standing, and praying that he isn't going very fast so the cat realizes to move in time. When the bus finally got close, he stopped pretty far away, and the cat ran away, abandoning his quest to melt out my eyes with his cuteness.
I thanked the bus driver for saving the kitty... and he gave me a look like I was a moron....
Then, when we got to where i was catching my transfer to down the mountain, the bus was just pulling away, five minutes before it was scheduled. The next bus didn't come until 5 minutes after it was scheduled, but I was so happy that it was the bus closest to my work, and not the one that would make me walk across the vast wasteland of parking lot. I was so lucky that I wasn't late.

Sunday, 6:45am
I walk out the door, and realize- it's raining... and it's too late to go back for an umbrella. Luckily, I had my emergency poncho... however, i didn't realize that it would really be a giant muumuu of plastic that made me look absolutely ridiculous. So I don the plastic muumuu... board the bus, and get a strange look from the bus driver... and everyone else on the bus, I ended up taking it off and just hiding in the shelter for my transfer bus.... and then I camped out in the Tim Horton's up the street until it was time for me to go to work... I left the house at 6:45 for a 8:30 shift, I made it to the Tim Horton's at 7:21....>.< It was a long wait, but due to the stupidity of weekend buses, I would've been late if I hadn't left when I did
I hate weekend buses... this is why I don't usually leave my house on the weekend.
