Today's post---much more positive. That's because I have accomplished a lot (at least what must be considered a lot during the pandemic). First, traveled from the upper west side to my,bank , around Union Square to shift some money. Finally, that bank is easy to get into. During the early days of the pandemic, it wasn't. Closed more than opened. Long lines to get in. Rediculous. Subways fairly empty---after I made the deposit turned east to 3rd Avenue and then north on 3rd to 23rd Street and Fifth. Nice walk---very easy on the body. Wanted desperately to get a sweet-needed some sugar-- but waited until I returned to the upper west side---discipline very important when dealing with my stomach.
Next, believe it or not, I finished Prep, and believe it or not, the last hundred pages of the book have some really nice writing in them. So finishing was less of a chore than I thought it would be. Last night I read about six chapters of the book that I bought yesterday at Barnes and Noble: Five Days: The Fiery Reckoning of an American City. About the riots in Baltimore in the days after Freddy Gray's funeral. Really strong and intense. I will be reading it very shortly after I finish this post. Still have to decide if I want to buy one more book at Barnes and Noble tomorrow, to help move me through the weekend. Store may be closed on Saturday (July 4th)--not sure. Could be the essays on Shakespeare that I have browsed a lot when I have been there, or----.
I will decide tomorrow.
Last night and morning---another restless time---again got my coffee from the neighborhood convenience store at around 5:30--then collapsed when I returned from my bank trip and slept for an hour. But right now I am feeling pretty strong. Can I gather this energy and feel good enough at 4 or 5 in the afternoon, to maybe go out to Bushwick or Williamsburg? Maybe, it is definitely something to shoot for---got to make the next few days as interesting as possible.
