An experiment

Next month I will be doing an experiment to see if getting a T pass is really worth it or if just putting money on my card is. With the Pass, I can use the bus and train multiple times a day and it doesn’t cost me anything. If I put money on the card, every time I use a bus or train, it will cost me. I haven’t kept track of my uses and this is going to be a challenge because I hate paperwork. But I am willing to try it anyways to see if the $29/month is worth it

I got the new battery for my older laptop. The thing that stinks is it won’t come until next week and I didn’t want to pay for expedited shipping. I did that once and it was the same as if I had regular shipping, so why pay extra? I backed up most of my files yesterday, either using my thumb drive or dropbox. I like dropbox because I can access my files on my phone. I put the new story I am working on it so now I have access to it wherever I go. I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before. Using dropbox is better than carrying around your laptop. I love it. I also uploaded the excel sheet for my experiment. Just hope I remember to use it when I am traveling.

I slept for about five hours. I woke up in pain. I am still hurting so took some medicine to calm things down. I hope I get back to sleep soon. I really don’t want to be up this early and stay up all day. If I go to sleep before 0600, I stand a chance of not waking up with a hangover, which is what I am hoping for. I have a little bit of cream left so I can make coffee and pancakes. I really am addicted to my oatmeal pancakes. They are just so yummy. It’s my favorite breakfast food, other than egg burritos that I make. I am out of the flour tortillas. I hope to get them with my grocery order but it doesn’t look like I will be having one this month. I overspent, sort of. Most of my money went to fixing my laptop and ordering a new battery. I also needed to get household items at Walgreens/CVS like soap, aspirin, etc. I have no idea where the money went. And what stinks is I won’t be getting my royalties this month for last month’s earnings. I will get it next month. I was very curious to see if the pages that were read I got compensated for. But I got to wait till next month to find out. Bummer.

I can’t wait for baseball tonight. I got to find out what channel the game is on. No one answered my inquiry on Twitter. I think the game will be on Fox but I am not sure. It will be interesting watching these teams match up. Both teams have had several days rest so that also makes it interesting. I am rooting for the Mets.
