picture of the black man being shot by police in Tulsa. Had not seen it until one of my friends put it on facebook. What can you say...? Helpless feeling...where do we go from here...how can this behavior be stopped?
Last day before two work days at Friends. Looking forward to it. Yesterday, got a last minute tutoring call for 6, and this prevented me from going to help at FUREE. After that went to bar that is attached to Harlem Public and watched baseball and had one of their really good franks. Both bartenders very nice to me, made me feel welcome, one, who had taken care of me often in the spring, welcomed me back and invited me to go to her friend's bar (where her friend bar tends) in the next couple of days. Nice to be remembered, then left, feeling tired, but walked to 157th street station. Returned to the apartment around 9:30, fell asleep quickly, but then as has often been the case, woke up several times during the evening feeling lots of energy but nowhere to go with it. Did not help that before I left Wallace's (the bar) I had an order of french fries. They make great fries but really unnecessary for my stomach. Payed for it this morning. Guess I just need more stimulation in the evening to sleep well. Hard to do it without a tv or computer---just the radio. Still alone with my own thoughts, sometimes it is important to figure things out without distraction. Every evening is a little different. Anyway, went through my agenda for the day (already followed through) and soldiered through. Tonight several choices if I am not feeling tired, maybe even a movie of not great interest will stimulate me enough to chill out during the night.
That is all for now. Next two days will be spent working at Friends, so there may be a break. Will report as soon as I am free.
