I take the day off, early morning to Stony ridge, commuter bus to DC, wawa and 7-11 in the cold, all lost, sunbathing in DC, meeting JD, renwick trip, yum teaism lunch, walk to union station, timewasting at union station, long sad ride back to SB, emadatse sandwich dinner [Tue 18]

Disclaimer: I'm writing all of this in the last week of November, because I couldn't make the writing happen on time. It's okay, I got September done, and October gonna be done in a day. Then gotta start with all of November...at the end of the month. I'm nothing if not optimistic!

Took the day off work.

In the morning ED dropped me at Stony Ridge, I waited for 15 minutes for the bus to arrive and got on it. It took us 1 hr 2 minutes to get to DC, but it took a long long time once inside the city.

While I waited for JD to be done with her EU visa interview I wasted time in 7-11 and wawa. And then went into starbucks because i was so freakin' cold and windy and not tolerable at all!

Around 10 JD was done and we sunbathed, sat in the sun right in front of the White House, and went to the Renwick gallery. We spent like 2 hour there -- I thought it was bigger than it was -- and then had lunch at Teaism. It's surprisingly good for the boring old fusty chain that it is!

We walked from there to the Union station over a couple of hours, wasted our time doing windowshopping and chilling, until JD got into her train back to her friend's place.

I waited for solid 25 minutes for the commuter bus back to Stony Brook. The commute traffic was insane, it took forever for us, took me 40 minutes extra than the other way round. This is when I realized daily commute wasn't sustainable for normal people.

For dinner I had emadatse sandwich.
