My friend invited me to her daughter's graduation party. We live in the same neighborhood, our kids went to middle school together, and they are both at LaGuardia. (Her daughter is drama.)
This party is out in The Hamptons.
I have not been on Long Island since... I don't know, maybe 2017.
And It's not on the LIRR.
You have to take a bus line called The Jitney which I never heard of and found to be extraordinarily confusing to book. So naturally I put it off until the very last minute, and actually almost cancelled because I was stressed out and overwhelmed.
But I went and I'm glad I did, it was a nice time.
And now I know all about The Jitney, which is still very useless to people without cars unless someone is there to pick you up.
Non-walkable car-mandatory places stress me out a lot.
So I booked The Jitney, it's a capacity reservation thing, definitely not like a city bus or the LIRR!
I said to my friend I can't be there until 1:45.
She said that's ok, I have to pick up my friend Melinda then too.
On the bus the staff come around checking your nae against their list. Turns out Melinda was sitting next to me!
We chatted the whole way over and she's fantastic!
The whole day was supposed to be thunderstorms.
Catherine said it was my fault if I didn't wear sunglasses to make it go away so I did.
I also started a painting which is part of a series Carey and I are doing together and I can't show it yet.... but it was definitely part of the weather witchery.
AND LOOK CLEAR SKIES!!!!
Too bad it was so aggravating to get there.
