Money Tree

I don't know about any of you, but my money doesn't grow on trees!
As some of you know, I've been taking the bus around town, to and from school and to Habitat this morning. I am pleased to report that I only put in $20.00 worth of gas in my car for the whole month of May.

I am quite surprised in myself for riding the bus as much as I did. I mistakenly took the wrong bus once and that took a whole hour before arriving at my destination, waiting patiently between buses, and trying to carry items that don't fit in the back pack. Even the five o'clock crowd on the bus was very crowded at times and I was able to see and smell some interesting individuals, even familiar faces from the past 2 to 3 weeks.

I will say, that taking the bus isn't my favorite thing to do, but it did save me quite a bit of money and road rage. I happened to use my car this evening and I found myself saying a few choice words to the other drivers who sped past me within an inch of hitting my car. I haven't used an F-bomb in two weeks until today.
You should try the bus some time while the gas prices are high. It really puts things in perspective.
