Took the bus to NYC on Friday - and back again today. Really uncomfortable way to travel. The drive is advertised to take 4.5 hours - but actually took 7 each direction. I sat next to someone who appeared to be in the first stages of plague. On the other side of the aisle was a man who self-soothed by singing show-tunes: quietly at first then with increasing volume as we waited in traffic in the dark. Relieved to finally get off the bus, I stretched my legs and called my friend - he was taking a taxi to meet me up on West 33rd Street, next to the garbage cans overflowing with trash and the hot dog stand. And then I noticed that the bus had left again, taking my bag with it. An interesting beginning to the weekend.
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Marriage equality. Its good timing - with NYC Pride day only 2 days later. There is a lot of relief and joy as barriers are removed for a group of people who have been disenfranchised for centuries.
I followed CJ to a Pride pre-party at a single-family home in Jersey on Saturday. Fashionable decor, nice spread, good wine. As a heterosexual female, I was definitely outnumbered. Not a single person took a gander at my breasts.
I'm a bit tuckered out after the weekend. Never got in a good workout. Never ate anything I normally eat. Still processing the experience. Another long bus ride home. So glad to be here. Sleeping in my own bed.
