Ride back to Queens from the bank.

I think that was Hef. I saw spitting on 73rd St. Confident about the deposit I had just made as well as the remaining value on my transport card, I returned to 73rd St. to start spending the $5.48 cash I had remaining by taking advantage of a good deal at ইত্যাদি بازار (‎01:49) of three pounds of strawberries for two dollars. After purchasing the berries, I saw an even better deal at a nearby shop.

Encountered Cor. T. in the hallway as I was leaving again and he was about to change a light bulb right outside my door, and I commented that his hair color that day was less blueberry and more Aqua Velva. We had a very helpful chat about discarding non‐recyclables.

76th St. (3457–60). “Keep your dog out” sign at Fairway Hall that was changed to read “Keep your boobs out” (3457–59).

Northern Blvd. (3461–66). Daylight moon (3461). Construction (3462–64). Once the entire business day had passed, I assumed I had access to liquid funds, and so I went to W’greens (16:59) for a number of purchases but was disappointed their a.t.m. informed me (16:43) my available balance was unchanged and I’d need to continue eating from my home reserve for at least another day. Nevertheless, I bought two heart‐shaped boxes of chocolates and a small chocolate/caramel heart for a total of $1.09. Maybe I was distracted by my financial issue but I checked in online at the wrong place. In addition to محمد (“Señor”), there was another slender worker there who left as I was checking out with, as both times before, fat talkative سيد (who was using employee number 266 this time). There was a group of attractive young men briefly there, and after they’d left, سيد talked to a coworker about one of them, saying he’d been there before riding down the aisles with some wheeled apparatus, probably roller skates or a push scooter. Backhoe loader at 73rd St. (3465–66).
