killing time....

between 8:10 and a quarter to nine, when I leave to make a deposit in my bank near Union Square. Then off to 122nd and 3rd avenue to pick up the most recent medical supplies for my illness. 

Here is a brief account of the lasts few days:

Sunday: checked in at my friend Bob's bar on ninth and C, watched some baseball,had a salad, then walked north into Stuyvesant Town---took a walk through Stuytown---had never done that before; found it very pleasant---managed to walk with no tiredness up to 23rd and 3rd---showed me that I had a lot of stamina; maybe my longest walk in quite a while.

Monday: allowed myself to be scammed over the telephone by someone impersonating a bank representative from one of my bank's fraud department. He had some information that seemed valid, so I fell for it, and gave hime a good deal of my important identity information. As I had caught on to the scam after a few hours the next day I went to my bank and changed some cards. No results so far---nothing taken from me that i notice---but I suppose must wait it out---see how the bank changes take hold, and make sure nothing else is taken.

Tuesday---contination of Monday's travails; tutoring in the afternoon---a good conversation with my friend Bob who lives in DC that evenig.

Wednesday---kept cool in the morning to prepare for the evenings outing; Passover Seder with my cousins on Park Place in Prospect Heights. I have been coming to these Seders for about thirty years now---quite an amazing fact. When I started coming, my cousin Kayla had no children---present at today's celebration were how two daughters now in their twenties. Both brought friends, about the same age, so the conversation was really interesting. Felt it was a very valuable time.

Yesterday---just tutored--not much else--returned to the apartment tired, as usual, and simply stayed around the apartment until I feel asleep.

Today---after my two tasks described above---more tutoring---probably will not get out much after that but one never knows. So far behind on my play going---or even movie going--still at least three, maybe four friends whom I have not seen in a long time in plays running now. Might catch one on Sunday. Its frustrating not to be able to see all that I want to because I am so tired after the tutoring, but maybe that is really the way I want it. Lots of energy in the morning---like now--but pretty tired in the evening.

And so it goes---reading a book devoted to the character of Blanche Du Bois, and several actresses who have played the role. Enjoying it. Lets see what the weekend brings....
