WELP. She/her. Very tired. Very broke. Failing miserably at adulting and life.
Trying a different route to work today. Will be a much longer walk from the bus stop though.

My hair keeps getting caught in my mask and it’s infuriating. I really want to just hack it all off myself because I can’t afford a haircut.

Just got home, so it’s still taking me 90 minutes even though I’m leaving half an hour earlier. I just can’t win.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”
Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death
The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

It’s wild how leaving half an hour earlier makes such a difference in how crowded the bus is. I rarely had difficulty getting a seat in the morning but I do now. Having to stand on the bus in the morning sucks when I have to stand for half the day at work.

Day 2 of going to work earlier and I’m already regretting it. The bus is way too full and no matter what time I leave to catch the first bus, I still miss my second bus.

If I had money, I’d just take an Uber home at this point. I’m cold, I’m tired, and I really just want to sit down. There’s no bench at this stop and these boots are super uncomfortable to wear for any length of time. 😭

Still haven’t been able to get on my second bus. Every one is so full and I refuse to get on if I can’t get a seat.
