Are any of you non-essential folks out there missing your commute activities (ha, not the commute itself!)? Pre COVID-19, I didn’t commute much (usually three days a week), but I’m still grateful not to have to at all – I have a lot more free time. But I do miss the things I did during my commute times:

Monday (driving), 45 minutes: Radio on the way in, radio and karaoke on the way home
Wednesday or whatever office day (drive, train, walk) 4 hours: Radio (drive), reading (train), podcasts (walk)
Friday (driving), 45 minutes: Radio on the way in and out
Saturday sometimes (driving), 45 minutes: Radio on the way in and out

I’m reading less, since I don’t have that big chunk of train reading time (I use that four hours for sleep and working out). And I miss listening to our local classic rock station DJs. Thankfully they have an app and I tuned in for my entire run today!

They were doing a “Freeform Friday” where callers requests songs and someone requested “When the Levee Breaks,” one of my fave Led Zeppelin songs!

So, tell me if you miss anything about the commute, or nothing at all!

Thanks to the essential employees who are still commuting in!
