Early PT today and then this afternoon the all important ( first ) grant interview that determines whether I can begin saving my apartment .
Since WD was kind enuf to remind me how unsafe and un-private posting on the internet really IS ( and permanent too
I darent give the details that would make sense of my apartment sitch?.
Suffice it to say I owe 14 months rent, over $70,000.00 by my landlord?s reckoning which he?s willing to forgive if I move ? which is one big reason I?ve been looking .
Yesterday I saw another 3 bed in Spanish Harlem a floor thru built in 2008 with central air , heat and two terraces and private roof access . Sounds good right ?
But the ? waterview ? was a sliver of highway ( even from the roof) the building dirty and small and miles away from everything and four next door toothless neighbors were literally sharing a crack pipe on the stoop !
I?ve gotten used to knock-U -on Ur butt powerful public marijuana backflow everywhere in the City but smoking CRACK in public ?!!! And this is the second time I?ve seen that this week - once on 43 rd street !
I basically live on the West Side equivalent of Park or Fifth Avenue ( except better air, easier parking,far more mature people walking little dogs than babies or God Forbid , aggressive argumentative teenagers ) .
The City just tore up and repaved my street and Riverside drive though it was perfectly fine ?here the Parks are manicured and the doggie- pee places around street trees are elegantly fenced with flowering plants replaced seasonally.
Even the sidewalks get hosed down by each buildings staff every morning.
So I basically live in luxury and a years fight to straighten out this back rent sitch ( this happened through no fault of my own but the bureaucracy is harder to deal with than Kafka?s Castle lol) may be worth it .
And my ( 2 bed ) 800 sq foot apartment and 600 square foot outdoor space ( with a view ! ) should be enuf City pied a terre for anyone .
I HAVE to stop acting like a greedy cat and trying to garden ever more territory lol
B- ff sf chockachino ( Mexican hot chocolate made w Yemeni coffee ) - yep every bit as delicious ( and high test ) as it sounds . Learned this recipe when I dated a baseball player an eternity ago - it's standard locker room fare :) for a hurry-up-and-wait game .
S, L, D tbd but Osso Bucco will feature somewhere.
Accountability - tired of walking by 59 th street and took subway home then drank rest of wine and slept at 7:30 .
Spastic bladder bedeviled me all day yesterday GRRR!
SO over running to the bathroom and having to BEG access to semi-public bathrooms because I?m about to pee in my pantz.
Have a great day !

Good morning ~ Happy taco Tuesday! Yesterday was my driving day and it was lovely until I got to the hotel and it was over 100 degrees. I took a walk and was dying; damn I am not used to this. I'm within walking distance of some fun places but this heat is too much. I've already been to these places, but it would have been fun to go again. Today will be a busy day of peopling and I'm ready for it. I have plenty of protein snacks in my bag, so I won't be at the mercy of the mystery food offerings.
QOTD - If you could commit any crime and get away with it, what would you do and why? Revenge isn't my thing, though I can think of a few wicked crimes I might enjoy... But my final answer would be to rig a billion-dollar lottery jackpot in my favor! Why? Because I never want to work again - Party at Yma's! And, if I'm allowed to commit a second crime, I'd like to rip the tags off my mattress.
Accountability - Great for food, 25 active minutes and 10,037 steps, the last 300 were jogging in place before bed. No weight today and no planned exercise but will walk around as much as I can.
B- coffee, fingers crossed for eggs/bacon and fruit
L- TBD
D - Tacos!
s- quest chips, edamame, jerky and cuties if needed
Have a great day!

Good evening everyone.
not much going on. Just feeling blah.
we're still having issues with the big cats attacking miss Tange. We have had collars and diffusers. It's getting frustrating.
QOTD: 3 dogs, Frankie, Mona and Skippy. 3 cats, Percy, Opal and now Miss Tange. It's a mad mad existence.
I had eggs for breakfast, a piece of cheese for lunch. Finally a hamburger patty with a slice of cheese and garlic sauce.
here is miss Tange just about 39 minutes ago.
One of my hints for keeping things organized is my PTouch label maker. When I organize, I put like objects into bins or drawer dividers and I make labels that tell me what belongs there. I get somewhat obsessive with different label colors and fonts. I have been doing that for about 30 years. My other hint is to clean and "edit" first and then buy storage containers for what is still there after the keep, donate, trash part has been done. We all keep way too much that we find out we don't miss when it is gone. Most people start an organizing project by buying containers which make it easier to keep storing things that will never get used.
