Ben left for a business trip this morning. I am sad. I will miss him. :( He doesn't come back until saturday. That's like a billion trillion years.

After I dropped ben off at the airport, I attempted to get to a park and ride so I could get to work. There was massive traffic and almost everyone was a real jerk about letting me change lanes. (Also, left entrances onto busy highways are evil.) I'm glad I started changing lanes when I did, because it took several miles to get all the way over to the right. I nearly missed my exit!

Then when I got to the park and ride, the entire lot was full. Well, not exactly true. The top section of the lot was blocked off. There were probably another 100 spots up there if we were allowed up. My options were:
1) Drive around and find another park and ride that wasn't full. Seeing how it was after 8 already, the chances of success were slim.
2) Get back onto the highway and drive in DC. In traffic. And then pay expensive DC parking.
3) Park illegally in the garage and risk a ticket. Other people were parking illegally too.

So I went with option #3. I think a parking ticket is about $50. Hopefully I won't get one, but if I do it won't be a budget buster. It's really upsetting that I had to illegally park in the first place. I wonder why the top of the garage was closed in the first place?

Anyway, I got on a bus. Then a train. Then got stuck in a tunnel because this is the metro, which only breaks down on days that end in y.

I need to work late to make up for coming in late today and leaving early yesterday, but I really don't want to leave my car illegally parked too late. Maybe I'll leave normal time and come into work super early tomorrow. If I come in early enough, there should be no problems finding a parking spot in the garage. (Because everyone will still be sleeping.)
Oh! But I forgot to mention a super awesome thing today! My dog did #1 AND #2 in the yard this morning! All on her own with no prompting! (Aside from me going out with her.) As soon as she got to the grass, she sniffed around to find the right spot and did her business. I'm so proud of her!

I gave her an extra big cookie to reward her. She's finally catching on.

Soon the next step will be getting her to go out without me going with her. And then I want to teach her to ring a bell for when she wants to go out. But baby steps, baby steps.
I spent the whole day worried about getting a ticket. I even left a little bit early because I couldn't handle the worry anymore.

Luckily all the worry was for nothing! I didn't get a ticket. Yay! I like when things go my way.

Tomorrow I shouldn't have any trouble since I plan on going in pretty early. In fact, I need to seriously start considering shower and sleep soon if I want to easily get up tomorrow.
