set it for 5:30 AM so i can be cozy in catching the 6:45 downtown, to get me to Cocoa Beach around 8, and to my spot prob around 8:30

realistically i could catch the 8:00 from the bus interchange, and if it pushes to saturday, that's my only option, which gets me where i want around 9:30, for the 10:15-ish launch. closer than i'd like but doable.

if it pushes to sunday i'm fucked, 'cause the buses don't run on sunday in my part of the county. and i'll be very upset

i will leave mooself a note to set the instantpot up to make rice while i'm in the shower

imagine a bus

also I remembered I could just eat a bowl of cereal instead of fussing with trying to cook when I only had 45 minutes between alarm and leaving

bus dispatch radio has had such tidbits as "driver for route so-and-so called and said they're running late, stuck in heavy traffic on i-95," and also "heavy traffic (and a wreck the bus driver saw but was uninvolved in) on the 520 eastbound"

which tracks, but of course the bus I need to get to cocoa beach takes the 520 eastbound lmao

might as well pull from the handheld to see if I got anything at all there (I didn't really)

it's a wonder we got anything through the clouds

I'll do edits tonight or whenever and post to @awildlupi if I can make anything good happen

I don't think I'll be so lucky

I'm also too worn out for alt text rn, the "descriptive language" part of my brain isn't cranking

the week delay must have done a number on attendance
