Same story, Different day

Same bus, same time, mostly the same people.

There's a few new faces such as the girl playing her music way too loud. If you're wearing headphones I really should not be able to hear every word in the song. There's a highschool student who also seems annoyed by the music. Oh wait, I was wrong. He likes the music and for some strange reason he feels it's necessary to dance in his seat to show his appreciation to the music. Then there's the university student sitting across from me; I really hope he has a kid otherwise I have no explanation for why he has a child size, baby blue umbrella attached to his bag. Same goes for the guy last week wearing a business suit that got on the bus wearing a Dora the Explorer backpack. Oh I can hear the talker! She's the lady who talks the whole bus ride about anything & everything to the person sitting closest to her. If it's a day she has no one to talk to, she knits. The other day it was a knitting frenzy! I think she made a pair of socks.

I feel bad  I hated on the girl playing her music too loud and just realized it was a guy sitting in the back corner, Oops!

Colourful snow

This morning I was waiting at the bus stop , standing in a bus shelter trying to protect myself from this freak mid-March winter storm. I was alone until some guy came in to also get out of the wind. I wasn't paying any attention to him, didn't even know what he looked like, but i could hear him coughing. And he kept coughing to the point it sounded like he was heaving and retching. The guy walked out of the shelter just as I turned around to see if he is okay, walks about 5 steps and pukes all over the fresh white snow, not pretty! He walked maybe another 3 steps and leaned against the little maintenance building that was there and continued to puke. He eventually kneeled down and I think maybe he was using the snow to clean his shoes off? Maybe burying his puke? Either way he was playing with the newly colored snow.

Bus finally arrives, I hop on, and unfortunately so does pukey guy :( just my luck.  I had a feeling he would sit at the back of the bus so I sat closer to the front. And then the coughing started again. I was just about to put headphones on to block out the sound & unpleasant thoughts of puke swooshing around the aisles when the bus pulled over at a stop and he got off!!! sooo happy! Turns out the coughing I heard on the bus wasn't him at all because the rest of the bus ride someone else was coughing & hacking at the back of the bus lol
