Day 31 - Wow
Work was amazing today. I was a productive beaver, kept my nose to the grindstone, and other idiotic sayings and/or idioms to signify that I worked my ass off and think I did a fucking great job (above and bloody well beyond, even).
I went to the gym afterwards (did I mention I have a membership to Crunch now? I do, for convenience reasons). Worked out (I'm lucky enough to hit the gym right before the post-work rush occurs) and then headed out the door to the pedestrian path down the middle of Broadway to sit for bit and take in the sights while I indulged with some yogurt and honey. It was wonderful to take a moment and *breathe*, take in my surrounds instead of running to and fro. I was seated close enough to Times Square to see the edges of the flashing jumbo billboards and catch the tourists with their maps in hand walking away from the chaos. A group of too young and too tan boys decided to photo opt next to me instead of dealing with the craziness of 42nd Street (suit jackets and shorts? such a bad choice). Hilarious.
When my snack interlude was complete I went to Whole Foods to restock my dairy and fruits before jumping on the subway and making my way home.
Can't believe tomorrow is the 1st of April. APRIL, y'all. Time flies whether or not you're having fun. Guess you just got to make fun where you can.
By the way - I really wish I'd had my camera with me today. I'm going to make a habit of carrying it around from now on.
On the book front: The Year of Living Biblically by A.J. Jacobs? Recommended reading. Funny, insightful, light reading that provokes discussion. I'm reading Michael Chabon's latest at the moment. Good times.
