Yay- you did it! Glad the little lady was your motivation to get you out the door (for me- that's all it takes is a little: ooh, she did it, I can do it, too).
I hope your ride home goes well. Let us know.

What about leaving a couple pairs of shoes at work, and bring a few days worth of clothes with you when you ride the train- you wouldn't need to put much in there. Just a thought (although you may not have storage space at work for your clothes and shoes).
