Transportation Issues

We all have quirks and little things that make us weird. Those quirks help to set you apart from others. Most of the time, when others tell you about their quirks you just think about how crazy THEY are…but when it comes to your own quirks you like to consider them endearing. (come on you know it’s true). I have many quirks, but one issue that rears its ugly head regularly is my issue with transportation. It’s a weird problem and I am not exactly sure how it came about. To put it plainly…I have issues with not being in control of how or when I get home…

I will elaborate. My biggest transportation issue comes with the train. We live in Long Island and therefore have easy access to the Long Island Rail Road to take us to Manhattan. Manhattan is a wonderful city with lots to do, but I hate to ride the train in. I hate being on the train schedule. I hate knowing that if I am tired and want to go home, that it will take me at least and hour and a half to do so. And that’s if there is a train in the near future. Another issue occurs with rides when we go out at night. I hate being the sober driver (I make the worst sober driver), but I also like to know I can go home when I want….you see the problem huh? So sometimes I just end up staying in!

People sometimes think I am nuts, but here is what I have to say to them…If it doesn’t make me unhappy…then why do you care? Now I sound like my husband. He tells me that when I get annoyed at his quirks…but if you remember..my quirks are endearing! I do believe our spouses HAVE to learn to live with our little quirks, but since they do directly affect them, they should be able to comment on them…but if you aren’t married to me…then mind your business! (Just kidding! I dish it out so I just have to take it)
