Public Transportation Snafus

Except for the first 2 days of this month, I've used public transportation, rather than Lyft. Today was a tough one. I had a board game night with some friends that required 2 separate bus lines. Unfortunately, I got a limited stop bus and ended up on the wrong side of Golden Gate Park :(. With some quick checking online, I was able to find an alternate route that put me within walking distance and I actually made it on time. Still, the temptation to just click for a Lyft ride was strong. Speaking of temptation, I resisted my normal game night gorging and passed on the cookies. Separate issue from my budget, but I'm about 40 pounds overweight, so I've been cutting back on junk food, too. I ate dinner before heading over and drank sparkling water, which was my only purchase for the day.

After game night, I found an alternate route with a bus line to an underground stop. San Francisco can get rather cold in the summer, so I didn't want to be outdoors more than necessary on a chilly night. Turns out, I was on the wrong corner for the unfamiliar bus and had to take my regular route after all. Of course, I missed the connecting bus. It was an 18 minute wait in the cold for the next one. I sooooo wanted to use Lyft, but stuck it out and waited. It wasn't that bad and my wallet was certainly in better shape than the usual takeout & lyft combo for game nights!
