Ran into everyone (well, two men and a barking dog) while I awkwardly moved a tremendous box of periodicals and booklets into my basement storage unit (8547).
37th Ave. (8548–51). Ran into Cor. near the שלם in the rain and we hugged and chatted for quite a while about health and international travel, touching umbrella canopies to one another some of the time. I was finally able to give him the Yuletide bonus + card. Birds and traffic at 76th St. (8548). Sidewalk work on 80th St. (8549–51).
82nd St. The cute dark‐hair Türk from 🍋F and I greeted one another walking in opposite directions.
41st Ave. Rescheduled an appointment at EHC after the friendly black man behind me on line observed that I looked happy. (I smile and am lively, animated or demonstrative even when doing mundane tasks.)
82nd St. (8552–56). Maybe prices at MNC are higher around lunchtime, because my bill exceeded thirty dollars when I don’t think I bought much more than usual. {I took much too much food.} Attractive man on the sidewalk (8552–54). Naughtily bought nearly ten oz. of 72% dark chocolate (because the discount came with buying two bags of it) from DR (14:21). Selfie man (8555). Quietly but audibly called a man handsome as he passed me. Storefront work (at the Gap?) (8556).
37th Ave. (8557–61). Vacant Ingrid’s (8557–59). Saw crazy wig man. Worker removing items from truck (8560). Smiling men in DR (8561).
