oh, how I have not missed public transit.

I'm not looking forward to a bus and train ride with a wonky inner ear, but

if I was going by car, the whole thing would be 20mins

by transit.... over an hour

I have to start getting ready even earlier than what I'd thought would be a generous time

I also have no choice but to get there 20-30 mins early

have appointment at 4pm -> start getting ready at 1:30 ;;;;
