taxi driver

so, i ended up having a bit of a free day today. i've been working hard (despite the number of blogs yesterday) to score myself a mostly no work day. i finally got dressed and decided to get the bloodwork and x-rays ordered by the skin specialist. oh and p.s. the x-ray technician kinda gave me a weird look when i told him what it was for. he was like, uh, no injury?

anyway, i also had a couple of prescriptions to fill, so i walked over to LD and got them (and a bunch of exciting cleaning products) and decided to cab it home. i didn't drive there, because sometimes after giving blood i want to pass out, and it was approaching 3, which equals no parking.

there were no cabs coming, so i walked down the street a bit, and shortly my knight in yellow armour came by. not even a block later... in fact, on the other end of the block, he pulled over and asked if i'm in a hurry. well, i guess not (please see above... i had tonnes of time today) so he asks if it's okay if he quickly deposits a cheque. since we were outside a bank of montreal, i knew it wouldn't be quick... but assumed he meant through the bank machine. 7 mins later, i called yvonne... we talked for 4 mins. she said if he's not back in 1/2 hour to call her back. she would save me. i said the car was running and it's an automatic, so she could. :o) finally he came out, and i got home. i was kinda hoping for a discount. instead he almost dropped me off on the wrong street. but he was very nice and in the know about indian singers and actresses. and despite being from bangledesh, he can understand hindi music.
