Nice weather today.
A couple of observations about New York City and me.
1) There is a Starbucks and a Duane Reade pharmacy on every block except the one you are on when you need one. Then they are nowhere to be found. Seriously, I am amazed that the little town I live in can not support one Starbucks, and in NYC there truly is one about every 10th of a mile.
2) I have no concept of time and distance. I vaguely recalled it being quite a hike from my hotel to Macy’s the one time I made the trip about a year ago. So I made the trip this time and realized it is, at worst, a pleasant 15 minute walk. No worth it, by the way, unless you truly do want something from Macy’s. Oh, there are THREE Starbucks in Macy’s!!
I had my skin analyzed at Macy’s. She was charming and I was bored. I have nice firmness – obviously she did not check the right skin – but I need hydration and also needed to reduce my flakiness. This would cost me about $200, but, oh my, that spot where she did the samples just glows!
I had breakfast at Juniors, btw, and didn’t barf it up this time. Did some shopping. Had a nice little snack from a cart in Rockefeller Plaza, and just generally hung out until it was time to meet Cary and Amy for dinner at Vinyl. Goat cheese and bacon grilled cheese sandwich with home made potato chips; this is good stuff!!
Billy and then bed, ready for a big Saturday.
