Monday

I’m trying to avoid negativity that creeps into my mind from silly things, like being stopped by a train. I feel like I haven’t had to wait for a train in a long time and, when caught by this one on the way home tonight, immediately felt a bit of disgust creeping in. I caught it though and then sort of marveled at the train for a bit. The graffiti was interesting to look at…pretty amazing, actually. It turned out to be a fairly long train, but I didn’t mind. Five minutes maybe? Such a dumb source of frustration…and such a welcome diversion.

Guardians lost a tough one tonight, in extra innings. They’ve now lost three in a row. Streaks like that make me nervous this time of year!
