weekend blather
another weekend drawing to a close here
tho
you'e reading this monday
its still sunday
as i am
writing
typing
friday
i bussed it across town for a dermatologist appointment
the 86th street crosstown
now
has an updated method payment
you pop your metro card into a kiosk
get a receipt
board the bus
through any door
this is supposed to speed up travel
across what is known as
the worst crosstown traffic in the city
the slowest bus route in the city
eventually
the system will expand
metrocards
will be replaced with cards with chips
like they are in amsterdam
where you
tap your 'pass'
against a reader
on the way in and out of the trams
here
there are helpers
for those confused
by the new kiosks
as well as
transit police
to make sure
no one hops on
without paying
after my appointment
i bussed back across town
to meet my friend carrie
visiting from california
for lunch
then
a long walk through riverside park across to central park then up to the museum to the subway parting
with lots of hugs
til she visits again
carrie after our meatball shop lunch
central park lake through some leggy daisies
saturday
was pure indulgence
once again i bussed crosstown
massage and facial
at exhale spa
back across to the westside
for my blow dry with yi
errands done
dry cleaning dropped off
zabars for munchies and toonman's favorites
sunday
more beautification
at
polished beauty bar
back home
to
the air conditioned apartment
the humidity has returned
temps in the high 80s prevail
its not the sort of day you
okay
i want to be out
clearly harry and jack prefer to laze about too
jack loves the new catnip filled snake i got on etsy from catopia9
harry prefers the catball where he can pretend to be a turtle
