Crosstown
Crosstown to shrink today. I knew up when my cellphone acted up calling for a taxi that it would be day with delays & I should be patient. When the driver took a route I wished she hadn't, we ran into a detour. Doctor was 1/2 hour late. Driver on way back was doing her end of shift paperwork & sat at green lights until cars behind us honked. CVS filled only one of my meds, I had to sort that out then wait for the second.
I think I'll have the clinic receptionist do the taxi calls for me from now on. She's on a first name basis with the dispatcher, ends the call with, "Take care bubbula." My friend Edie calls me bubbula.
I could get insurance to cover cab to clinic (wish I knew that when I was traveling to Newark), but it involves a lot of paperwork, the taxi is six bucks plus dollar tip each way every other month, & sometimes I only go one way & then walk & bus home. I think I can handle the expense.
I have to get to the library. I have books way overdue.

I don't miss the car, to be honest. But, then again, I'm in a very metro centric bus area, and perhaps you are not.
Be that as it may, the figuring out how best to spend the few dollars we both have every month resonates with me! For me, spend three bucks for a round trip medical excursion vs. the five dollar day pass to do more than one thing, is the question of the day.

There are many scenic places within 30-45 minutes near water, by Arthur Kill & Raritan Bay & Rahway River Wrote poems about those places. When I had to take train & bus to Newark hospital for prostate doctor, I tried to have money for the great coffee & muffin at Penn Station on the way home. Solitary brief journeys in cars. The train to the shore is just too long & noisy for me now.
