feeling better...

because of two things; one, the arrival of my stimulus check yesterday, now safely in the bank. Although cityboy is doing well by other means, somehow this check seemed to have really lifted him up. Once again, he did not sleep that well, last night, but that was because he was heavily fantasizing depositing his check. Yes, fantasies are strange nowadays. The second upbeat event around city boy's life was the cleaning of his apartment this afternoon. The woman who cleans is really terrific--it had been six weeks and the place was pretty dirty. On returning to the apartment, it looked so clean and orderly that I truly wondered if it was mine. Well it is, and feeling its neatness gives cityboy an incredible sense of relief.
    Anything else..? Not really--I continue to watch you tube shorts, some are about gentrification and others are moments from musicals. Today, while the apartment was being cleaned, I had to be "out" so I took the 1 up to 145th and walked around a bit. I wandered north on Riverside Drive; I had never been north of 148th street before, and I saw some amazing apartment houses on the Drive around 150th to 153rd street. I stared in amazement---always something new to look at and consider in the city.
Anything else..? Not really, will figure out how to spend the evening, what choices to make on the computer, and maybe get a nice night of sleep as so much has been accomplished in the last two days.
