Public Transportation is a contact sport

After more than a week of being sick, I ventured forth today for 2 hours to teach a class with Hannah (unfortunately, Rachel is now sick...). The teaching wasn't the tiring part. At least it wasn't the bulk of the exhaustion. The real problem was transportation. Thankfully, on the way to the school, I was able to snag a seat. On the way home, though, we had to stand.

Standing constitutes maintaining balance, tensing muscles, fighting for hand-holds, surreptitiously edging/ pushing people out of the way, and fighting like a football player to get to the doors.

I'm totally wiped out.
