a normal bus story

I took the bus this morning but it was uneventful. Good thing I know but almost creepy to think that I don’t have horror bus stories to tell.

Am I in the same place? Maybe it helped that I came out of the house at 6:30 am?

The bus came before I got toasted waiting for it in the uncovered bus stop near our place. Funny how I prepared myself too well before getting out of the house: long hair pulled back with a tie since it is so unsexy to sweat with all the hair sticking to my neck, yuck!; picked a cotton shirt, put a small towel in my back to absorb the sweat; an extra-shirt in my bag; sunglasses and of course an umbrella at hand.

I got a seat and arrived safe and sound after 15 minutes.

Our car was sent for the regular maintenance and since this is Dubai where “things are always not ready tomorrow”, we have to wake up and take the bus to work today.

But I love how you were prepared! Are the buses usually on time?
