I woke up on the morning of my 58th birthday at 5:30! How sucky is that? I am on vacation and I can not sleep past 5:30 AM!! On the bright side, having brought my trusty C-PAP machine with me on this trip, I slept pretty much the whole night through without having to get up and pee, a triumph! And I am “bright-eyed and bushy-tailed”, which should make a lot of people get out of my way when I am walking the streets of NYC today.
Thinking of going to Macy’s to see if they have a “free-cologne-on-your-birthday” offer, though not optimistic.
So I see that I failed to mention that I went into Magnolia Bakery yesterday and had three cookies. The real reason I went in there is that I could not find a trash can anywhere around the food carts in Rockefeller Center where I could toss my foil and stick from my chicken shish-kabob. But the cookies were quite nice.
I would like to tell you what the weather is going to be like today, without looking it up, but it is still dark out. Well, here “dark” is a relative term, as the office building across the street never turns off its lights. I am thinking of mooning them, but I do not know how to get their attention. Also, I have been thinking that this would be a great place from which to shoot one of them with a high-powered rifle. I mean, fictionally speaking, of course. Shit! I hope the FBI does not come busting down my door.
Speaking of my door, as many of you might know, the rooms at the RCA come with old fashioned keys. None of this electronic shit for them. However, this comes with a price to pay. You see, they give you two keys, one for the deadbolt and one for the handle lock. The problem is, they are not identified as to which is which, and I have a bladder the size of a grape that thinks it’s funny to start the urgent “gotta pee” signals just before I step into the terminally slow elevators. So by the time I reach my room on the 9th floor, Mr. Winky is in the “I’m gonna getcha” stage of attack, while I am trying to figure out which key is which! This trip, however, I have thwarted my little friend. First, I have been avoiding diuretics like the plague – drinking almost nothing but water. Second, I used one of my markers to paint the deadbolt key green!! I am so clever!
So my plans for today?
Breakfast – deciding if I want Junior’s again or maybe Westway Diner.
Then a shopping trip in the general direction of Macy’s.
I am doing lite lunches this trip, so dunno what I will do at that time.
Dinner with friends. Not sure yet where or how many. This should be interesting.
See you all later!
