Mornings in SF

I woke up at 4am in the morning to go attend yoga at 6am. I should have figured that it being Monday I should not have gotten up so early but I did not think and stuck with the same schedule that happened last Friday.

So I was early on schedule so I sat in the Van Ness station reading my Malcolm X book. A homeless person approached me and honestly he was sweet, I gave him $5 and he tried to have me put it in his hat I told him no, let me hand it to you. I will admit, before my Political Science class I would have ignored him but my heart has softened for people in poverty. He and I conversed so it wasn't like "I'll take your money and that's all I want from you!" We had a nice conversation and he said he did prison time and says life is a lesson in itself. He told me to be careful with what people say, he kept repeating to me that they all want you to follow them. I understand what he means, that can be applied to almost everything. What I got from it is it truly matters what you want and no one else.

He caught his train and the train driver ended up mouthing something to me with a smile. Then the funniest thing happened! I went up to the train driver and he opened his window said "Have a good day" I said thank you. I sat back down, he closed the window then he kept looking at me I smiled & waved. Then he blew me a kiss I laughed, pretended I caught it - like how my Lola / Grandma would do it. He smiled and put his hand on his heart it was bizarre. Made me smile and laugh!!!! It was a nice moment. People @ 4-5:30 in the morning are so freaking nice. The bus driver I had that took me to West Portal station was darn nice too! They are all willing to converse until those passengers that have a crab up their butt start coming around.

Okie, so this morning I did not have any problems with my throat. Although now I am having issues with my nose. My nose is stuffed right now and I even tried my neti pot and my nose was so badly stuffed and inflamed that the water was not able to pass through my other nostril. Right now I keep sneezing and having to blow my nose. This sucks =( I finally haven't woken up with a sore throat and my coughing attacks are minimal but NOW my nose can't stop leaking. =( It sucks....
