Battling the Wind & NJ Transit: A Struggle Story 📱

-

 

Let me set the scene: It’s a cold, windy Friday 🌬️❄️, and I, a humble commuter, just want to get to my destination without being swept off my feet—literally.

The wind? Absolutely feral. I’m gripping the bus stop pole for dear life 🫨, and even that thing is shaking like it’s questioning its life choices. I check the NJ Transit app, hoping for good news. Spoiler alert: there is none.

The bus downtown was supposed to arrive at 1:00 PM but, of course, didn’t show up until 1:08 PM—making its entrance like a hero in a poorly timed movie 🎬. And as if waiting in the cold wasn’t bad enough, I had to pay $1.80 for the ride. $1.80!! Back in the day, it was only $1.10, but thanks to inflation and NJ Transit’s endless greed, I must suffer 💸😩.

I finally arrived in downtown Paterson and took care of what I needed to do. Mission accomplished… kind of.

Then came round two: fighting the wind 🌪️ as I struggled to walk back to the bus stop. Once again, NJ Transit was on its fashionably late behavior 🙄. With 15 minutes to kill, I decided to browse for a new iPad cover—which, shocker, I did not find. Temu, I’m coming for you 🛒😂.

Finally, the bus back home arrived. But plot twist—the fare machine wasn’t working, so I got a free ride 🎉. A little reward for my suffering? Perhaps.

Now, I’m finally home, warm and toasty ☕🔥, listening to the wind rage outside while I plot my next move: Sims or books? Either way, I’m done with today.

Moral of the story? NJ Transit will always keep you on your toes—sometimes literally, if the wind is strong enough 🤦🏽‍♀️.

🧬 Marjorie Taylor Greene: The Neanderthal Exhibit We Never Asked For 🦕

Sometimes, history reminds us where we came from — fossils, ancient bones, and cavemen who somehow evolved enough to invent fire and clothes. Then there’s Marjorie Taylor Greene — living, breathing proof that evolution can backslide like a busted shopping cart on a hill 🛒⬇️. I stumbled across a meme that almost made me choke on my tea ☕💀.  On the left: a hyper-realistic model of a Neanderthal woman from the Museum of Confluences in Lyon, France 🏛️. On the right: MTG — a U.S. Congresswoman who opens her mouth and manages to drag us all back to 40,000 B.C. 🗿 The resemblance? Brutal.  The meme? A savage masterpiece. My reaction? Laughing, cringing, then realizing… this isn’t even satire anymore. This is Congress 🎪. Now before the torch mobs whine about “bullying” 🪧😭, let’s get one thing straight: this isn’t about looks — it’s about behavior, mindset, and ignorance dressed up in a blazer with a mic 🎤🧠❌. When you push conspiracy theories, deny science, and treat facts...

Sipping in Solitude: Refreshing Drinks to Keep You Cool and Calm🧉

Hi there 👋🏾 (or not, because we both know I’m awkward about greetings). Let’s just dive in. As someone who thrives on quiet moments and minimal human interaction, I’ve realized there’s nothing better than a refreshing drink to elevate my me-time. 🍹 Whether it’s a cozy night in with a book 📚, a Netflix binge 🎥, or just staring out the window contemplating life 🌧️, the right drink makes everything feel a little more  extra . Recently, I stumbled into the fascinating world of winter citrus, and let me tell you—it’s a whole new vibe. 🍊 There are so many unique varieties I’d never heard of before, like Buddha’s hand, yuzu, and cara cara oranges. I’ve never seen or tasted most of these fruits, but just from looking at them, I can imagine how delicious and refreshing they must be. Like, who wouldn’t want some fancy lemonade made with these? 😍💁🏾‍♀️ Naturally, my introverted self thought, “This would be perfect for making drinks while I enjoy my alone time.” So, I’ve put toge...
