I hope the public transit plan works out for you! I love public transit, but everyone always seems to think I should be reading or something on public transit, and I'm pretty convinced that if I'm not pretty alert while on it, someone is going to grab me, or steal my purse, or something. Getting lost in a book on public transit just seems like a really bad idea to me... Hopefully that's mostly in my head though. (Although they do warn you on the bus here not to be reading/playing on your phone, and to be alert, so I think it's not all in my head... Tons of people seem to be just fine reading or on their phones or computers though...)

I'm glad you've gotten to a point where you feel like your stress is more manageable!

IDK where you are but I read on public transit in many cities, which means I'm doing it while a tourist traveling. I usually just set my Kindle on top of my purse and then read. I haven't had any problems thus far.

I see a lot of people reading seemingly without incident, so hopefully the danger is mostly in my head...

I like the sound of Daylio. I'm going to check that out. I think it's something I'd find useful.

The reading/writing time is the best part of public transport to work. I didn't have a car when I first started working full time, then they introduced paid parking at my office ($12 a day!) so I've stuck with it. Good luck with getting it all worked out!

cool,I hope public transit works for you. I loved having that time when I was working in NY. Alas, not so much on the public transit here.
