Am I the Only One Exhausted Today

This was all over CT news last week. It’s real. And I live this nightmare daily.

Boston has the 5th worst traffic in the country and I can tell you with absolute certainty that driving home at that time on a weekday has never been an issue.

[Hey Adrien!]

The actual answer is never get on either the highway or parkway in Fairfield County, regardless of how short your trip is, without checking in with either Wavz or Google Maps

As someone who teaches in Greenwich but lives in Norwalk, that’s me twice a day, lol.

I have a similar level of tiredness to the national title wins. Happily drained, as if I’m on vacation and the jet lag is starting to kick in. It's another example where I'm imagining my wife in my ear saying maybe this is the summer we finally install an outdoor sauna. Sounds delightful right now.

I’m staying at school till eight since we have our holiday concert and my wife has the arts department. Nice day for multiple meditations in the car during prep periods.

I usually try to stay away from 95 in Fairfield County at all costs. But I would figure at that time of the day it would be fine. But I guess not. Note to self, never take that stretch of highway.

Traffic is fine in Fairfield County if you pick the right time to drive. 1932, for example. Not many people had jobs or cars then.

I got home at 2:20, woke up at 630, and currently want to claw my eyes out of their sockets.

Having been able to watch the game in SoCal starting at 6 and ending at 9, I have no issues and have a bounce in my step today as a result of the well earned Husky victory! Western living does have some advantages!

 

[imno1]

I feel fantastic. But I’m not a great sleeper anyway. Great win.

 

[Lafayette]

Exhausted...in bed around 1:25am, up at 6:20am. Going to have a chill dinner and sleep early.

 

[CL82]

I'm doing OK as well. But really it's between now and seven where the drag will start to hit you.

 

[huskyjawz]

Thank goodness BYU pulled out the first game in regulation otherwise it would have been a real late night.

Not sure if they didn't need to stop the first game to fix the basket if could have caught an earlier train.

Got into Fairfield at 1:30

Did you make the 12:07? I got in a cab to hustle to make that train, but the traffic was so bad, I jumped out and I got a beer and went to the 1:07 without looking at the schedule and then saw that there was a 12:33!

Didn't get home until almost 3. Today is a total washout.

Nothing personal, but STFU.

we just made it - walked from MSG. Unfortunately not enough time for a celebratory brew.

We all got to see a victory so it is all worthwhile.

What felt like just enough bourbon watching the game felt like a bit too much this morning. Commute wasn't too bad. Dogs stayed in bed and I had a clear path to the sofa in living room. 75 minutes of morning local news, a quick stop for coffee in the kitchen and then a relatively traffic free 20' walk to my desk.

Henry Hudson to Cross County to the Hutch is usually better

I'm in roughly the same boat. Got back to my house in Philly suburbs at 2:30am. Made it until 6:50am before my 5 year old came in and sat on my head to alert me it was time get up and make breakfast.

 

[CL82]

Welp, made it to 5 PM but now I feel myself fading fast.

 

[Edward Sargent]

just got up from a nap. Thank goodness I am going my financial advisor's Christmas party and not the condo board meeting to discuss next years budget 😎

But it is on both the Merritt and 95 through Greenwich and Stamford.

 

[JonnyRI]

I am dragging today.

Left work at 230pm in northern RI yesterday. Got on the 1233 train back to NH after the game, then driving back to RI. Ended up just going straight to work (got there 500am).

Slept every minute of train ride back.

 

[Devland]

I retired 5 years ago. What's an alarm again? I forgot. To be honest I have turned into one of those people who fall asleep at 8pm and wake up around 4-5 am. I was tired but just napped.

Oh look at those cute three lane highways.

 

[scotty0330]

I wonder what the overall effect on productivity in the State is today. I got home from MSG at 1:30 and was awakened by my wife having erroneously set an alarm for 6:00 (unless she was making a passive aggressive point on me being out that late). Thanks honey. I am working but the headache at 66 is much worse than it would have been 10 years ago.

I thought about you guys as soon as the basket had issues and that first game dragged. Hey that kid from BYU misses that sucked goes to OT and you could have easily been other side of 2. But I’m a little bit your junior and would have been in just as rough a shape- feel your pain.

 

[JohnFSilver]

That I got home driving by myself (I met people at the game but they aren’t living in CT) without hitting anyone or anything was not a small accomplishment. Despite having only had one beer that I finished by 8:00.

Got to send the Mrs. A cease and desist. Lol.

 

[JB75]

Today was tough waking up - I was so wired after watching that game like some others , prolly didn’t go to sleep till 1. Up at 6. This morning was tough until those first few sips of coffee. Well worth it tho. What a game. Just rewatched the second half- that euro Malachi had on boogie was pretty sick. Boogie had a tough night. Oh well. going to sleep like a baby tonight. Nite all.

Planning road trips down South must be properly timed or you could lose 2 hours easily. I try to hit Stamford before 6am and pull over in Central Jersey to catch our breath and eat.

Philly, Baltimore and DC traffic can't be too far behind. I now fly and then rent cars. Hell I've even learned to wash clothes at the hotel if I want to be 'luggage lite'. Just saying traffic is so atrocious its changed the way I travel by car.
