If I am walking somewhere and I come to an intersection that I want to cross and the light is red…

then I cross the street that is green.

If I come to a bus stop and the bus isn’t there…

then I keep walking.

If I have to choose between instant oatmeal and healthy make your own oatmeal…

then, regrettably, I eat the instant, even though I know it is a packaging nightmare and it has too much sugar.

If I make cookies…

then I eat so much cookie dough that I become ill and then I burn my mouth on the cookies I do bake.

And if I want to put up a blog post, but I am at a hotel with a bad connection and it takes too long to upload photos…

then I just don’t post.

This is what has been happening to me for the last week that I have been traveling. It was very frustrating not to have an alternative to my waiting.

But I am in New York now…

So, while I may have to wait for other things, at least my internet waiting days are over.
