Writing Challenge Day 13

[float_on_alright]

My commute to and from work:

My commute is so much better than it used to be. I go into work at 8:30 now and so I typically end up taking about 35-40 minutes to get to work (30 if the roads are clear and I drive like the proverbial bat out of hell). It used to take me at least an hour (maybe more on a shit day) to get to work, so that is actually a major improvement. The nice thing about having a commute more than a few minutes though, is that I often get to use the time to listen to a book and enjoy my own company. My ride home is still a little closer to an hour typically and I tend to use the time to call my dad. Some days we talk for five minutes and I’ll read after or do a nice sing along for myself. As long as the traffic is moving without a lot of stopping, I find driving rather soothing. It’s nice that I can just be by myself for a bit, listening to my books or singing. I do love singing in my car. Sometimes I listen to classical music in the morning because it’s a peaceful way to start the day.
