What a fine day yesterday turned out to be (what's this? OPTIMISM from DR Jason??), despite having allergy issues...
After I weighed in at Weight Watchers (I lost 2 lbs. this week, thankyouverymuch), I went to Ricky's NYC, a great little health and beauty supply/novelty/stage makeup shop on Broadway, and picked up a couple of bars of my new favorite soap. Then I treated myself to a loverly lunch of turkey meatloaf, brown gravy and seasoned waffle fries from the West Way Diner (none of which I was able to taste, unfortunately), where I was able to finish "Gulliver's Travels" and lay it to rest at last. After that, I ventured over to Virgin Records, where I walked out without having spent a penny (no small feat), and then walked over to Barnes and Noble, where I picked up their Classics Editions of "Pride and Prejudice" and "Treasure Island." Then, I headed across the street to Garrett's, where I picked up a bag of their fantabulous CaramelCrisp popcorn and then headed to the theatre, where I found out that I finally have a telephone line in the dowstairs lounge, which allows me to use my credit card machine! It only took 4 years, but AVENUE Q now has a proper credit card machine at the main merchandise booth. HUZZAH! By having that phone line installed, I now have at least 20-30 minutes freed up during the second act, which is a great relief. I'm now 40 pages into "Jane Eyre" and lemme tell you - it's a far easier read than "Gulliver's Travels."
So, a pretty good day after all...
