Lucky number 7 (bus number 7, that is)

It was hard to wake up this morning.  I felt like I could easily sleep another four hours. But, I really wanted to get my yoga in and be on time.  So, I got myself going. 

My preferred bus is the number seven.  It is mellow, or, I should say, the people on board are mellow.  This is because it is usually on time.  Needing to load a bike before getting on board can make riders impatient on other buses. . ."We gotta get to work!!" "Yeah!" etc. . .

So, I was considering skipping my pre-boarding coffee stop where I like to fill my thermos.  But, I decided it was worth it to risk missing the number seven because: a) I like the guys who work there; b) it's cheaper than the coffee places on campus; and c) the coffee is delicious. 

They refilled my thermos and set in on the counter a bit far away from me.  Another customer blocked my way for a moment, too, so I came up close to get it just as one of the guys was putting another order there. He caught my eye and said "Good Morning," and I responded in kind. That was so nice.

It made it totally worth it! And. . I was just in time to catch the seven! Life is good.
