Noises, Turtles, and Dog Attacks

I haven't blogged in so long!! I would like to at least partially blame it on the aggravation and random setbacks in my morning commutes. To name a few:

1. Last week, I saw a mini turtle on my walk to the T....?! As far as I know they're not native to Dorchester city streets, so not sure where the little guy came from, but I hope he made it safely across the street, or back to a pond...

2. A Yorkie tried to attack me no fewer than TWICE this week!! What a little vermin. Yesterday, the loud barking from behind caught me so off guard I screamed, and then proceeded to angrily charge at him - in part because I felt like I'd just been punked. I mean, dogs don't scare me easily, but this little ankle biter had a little extra bass in his bark and it tots threw me off.

3. The summertime delays on this train line are immensely frustrating. Running late for work takes on a whole new meaning when dealing with 3 mile per hour setbacks...sigh.

Keeping hope alive that some day soon the constant red line repairs will actually have an effect on train speed and functionality.
