TThanksgiving morning on the upper west side...

 the atmosphere dank and drizzly---as if the weather knew that the live parade would be canceled. Streets not empty by any means, but lacking the energy, the sometimes overwhelming energy that one gets when the parade is just four blocks east. 

Yesterday evening, a fitful sleep, probably the best sleep I have had in days. Nothing really on the mind, that's all. The plan for today---follow the two football games that I have made (small) bets on and then see what happens. More and more coming to terms with the fact that i won't be going out to Brooklyn today. I am pretty tired anyway--so under these given medical circumstances, it might be an impossibility anyway. Tomorrow is a "big" day for me. First, early in the morning the women who cleans my apartment is coming---of course that means that I have to do my own "cleaning" first--put everything in order and clean up the mess that sits on the side of the bed that I don't sleep on. I almost feel that I have to do as much work as she does. But she really makes the place look clean and warm, for as long as I can keep it that way.. Sometimes I come back from my time outside the house, enter the apartment, and almost feel like I have come to the wrong apartment; this one is clean and livable---a really nice vibe. Was thisms really the one I left?  Tomorrow afternoon, I am scheduled to "hang out" with a friend of my sister in law Kathy. I have met him once; he seems like a good conversationalist---we are both musical theater enthusiasts, so hopefully there will be much to talk about---good conversation that is not political or about the pandemic---something really needed at this point. 

That is all for now---will report soon.
