feeling a little...

bit better this morning, after a strange, and perhaps unnecessary night---but just received word that unemployment money has gone through, and that I will be at Friends on Wednesday. Also, just reserved an expensive (for you, city boy) ticket for By the Water for Saturday night, but felt that it was important to see it, and in light of current monetary situation, was do-able. Now, only need to see Susan Lori-Parks' play at the Public to feel that I have seen those plays that I wished to. Also, meaningful because I get to say hello to Vito Ryginis, a guy who I hung out with about 20 years ago in Brooklyn, at the bar on Dean and Court..
At any rate, things seem to be looking up.
Last night, unaware of this morning's outcome I returned to the apartment around 6:30. Spent a nice day at South Fourth and Cobra, had good conversations at both, felt good upon leaving but tired. Had food waiting at home for me, over ate a bit, and then rested. Not much energy, but not really a good idea. Restless, lots of moving in and out of sleep from 9 on, a few very strange dreams (one in which I am trying to tutor in a brownstone, but I think I am checked out)---anyway, feel that I drained my resources. Have to remember that sometimes I need to stimulate myself out of the house (movie, beer) even if I am tired. Kind of moot now, but important to remember, especially with the holidays coming up.
Today, after lesson have the time free. Maybe contact Hannah and see if she is playing trivia tonight at the strange dive bar around Meeker Avenue. Or perhaps a movie, not really sure. Could also explore with my bar book, which incidentally, I forgot yesterday---could have given some of those coupons away, but did not. At any rate, should be celebrating my "returned" money, will see how that evolves...
