feeling frenetic...

as i sit by the keyboard at the library on Amsterdam and 82nd street. Why? Seems like a lot of activity that I am trying to absorb. Just found out that one play that my friend and I thought of seeing but did not get tickets for because it seemed to be sold out, is not, while another play that we are scheduled to see has a longer running time, and may make for an intense rush to Penn Station, where her train leaves from on Saturday evening. What to do? Maybe nothing---should discuss this with my friend---not a bad idea---lots of shows have tickets on TDF for Saturday evening---guess that is because it will really be when Halloween is celebrated. Anyway, I should try to calm down a bit, don't you think, ultimately all events can be dealt with.
Yesterday evening, was tired, returned to apartment, boiler broke, could have been traumatic, but amazingly enough, was fixed by landlord in the same evening. I went to sleep planning to wake up in the cold, and put on my two heaters, but woke up actually in a kind of moist warmth---very surreal,  a  strange energy pervaded my apartment. Am so used to boiler not being fixed immediately, that I guess this was a shock. But the whole thing seemed so odd.
Anyway, with no work at Friends today, went back to Medical store front (that is really what it is) to get an EKG, early this morning. As usual, waiting room was very crowded, but also, as usual, was taken care of very quickly. Really am getting to like the place, the lab technician, whom I needed to talk to briefly, was very friendly.  Still odd, being the only white person there---but also am coming to really respect and admire both the staff because they get things done so well, and the other patients because they seem so gentle. Will continue to go there.
  Afterwards, walked over to the coffee place, Tazzo, right off the 157th street subway station and hada their coffee; also read a leftover Times.
  Tonight should head over to Chelsea Peers to participate in the action against the real estate biggies meeting for a celebration. Always a little ambivalent about participating, but once I am there, enjoy the closeness and commitment of the people there. After that.....maybe up to Lansdowne to see the twins----will report tomorrow.
