Tuesday Treats

Tuesdays have become somewhat of a ritual for me. It’s the only weekday I don’t need to go into my office, which turns my commute later in the day into a bit of a sight-seeing journey. My bus ride is long. Well, longer than I am typically on the bus, and because I leave earlier than early, I can hop off a touch before my stop to scratch my I-need-a-treat itch.

I didn’t always take the bus on Tuesdays. Or rather, I didn’t always take my current bus, because I thought the most efficient route was a bus to a train (…I know, 1 vs 2 seems so obvious now). The other bus wasn’t a mystery, just a further walk that I was too lazy to do. That is, until I took the wrong exit off the train, and discovered my favorite smoothie chain just across the street from, you guessed it, the bus I was too lazy to walk to (hello açai!).

I’m sure you’re thinking, “But Ana, that’s a picture of a bagel, not a smoothie.” And you’re right! This bagel called to me from inside a shop I pass every Tuesday, but have never walked into because my smoothie was more than enough. I’ll never make that mistake again. Working is hard, finding the motivation to work is hard. When you find little things along your way that make it easier, brighter, go for it. I’ve only ever regretted not indulging.
