New York people and non-New York people, what do you think I'm saying when I say "take a car to the airport"?
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"take a car to the airport"?
My first thought was "I'll drive my car to the airport," but with the qualifier of New York, I'm guessing it would be hire a car.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Like a car service, as opposed to a cab.

I would also assume car service. Which is something I only associate with New York

That was my mother's first thought, so she was like WTF. I say if I meant she was going to drive, I would have said "We'll take your car to the airport."
But really I meant a Lyft/cab/someone else who will drive to our house and pick us up.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
msbelle, good of you to help that lady out. May your garage sale get lots of $$ and get rid of lots of unwanted stuff. Sorry Mac didn't want Thai food with you.
Calli, pretty lights!
I'm adopting the Spanish custom of rising early to accomplish stuff, a long nap in the afternoons which are unbearable without AC, and puttering some more after the heat of the day. Actually, I seem to be getting enough sleep and have more energy to do things than I did trying to soldier on through the afternoons.
This is my natural daily rhythm. I can stay up late and get up early, but I hate having to be awake and functional during the heat of the day.
My sister and I have culled out three big bags of clothes and another couple bags of other stuff that's going to Goodwill tomorrow, and packed up a bunch of things that can be returned for $$. A pair of boots going back to Duluth Trading means I "made" $145 this weekend!
I also pick blue, Burrell.

New Tork adjacent here. I hear that as "hire a driver to get me to the airport." More as in, hiring a car service, than grabbing a taxi.

And now I realize I think grabbing a taxi is hailing one, not calling one! Random stuff in my head.

Not being able to call for a taxi in NYC is still bananapants to me.
