one strange, cool, cloudy day to follow another...
a seat on the ride in, a different book, and comfortable shoes...
strange day in the office; slow, most people are gritting teeth and i am in outer-space, happy to just do my job and search for more Things To Do...
a big breakfast...
a walk and some shopping during my lunch hour...
fashion week attacks bryant park...
gossip that makes me roll my eyes...
a sweet note from an unexpected source, encouraging flattery...
exciting plans for the evening and also tomorrow...
shopping for much-needed underwear in a department store i'd never been inside before,,,
phone calls to people i'm basically telling off and others i'm arranging dates with...
rain and a haze over the river...
headphones and a gifted book on the train down...
still in outer/inner space...

sarah didn't recognize me from behind as i climbed out from underground... once she realized it was me, she hollered and gave chase. my body is changing shape. consequently, i spent a house-note on clothes today.
she grabbed my arm and sheltered me under her umbrella - i don't typically use them. we walked together for groceries and wine then returned to her apartment. she kissed me in the market, the sweet girl-friend kiss on the mouth that's growing more frequent. one day we'll just lay it on each other for fun.
i do love her. it feels so good to say things like that and mean it.
the other night i said it out loud regarding other context and meant it. life is full of growth that seems like change, but we don't really change, do we?

she's been on a phone call so i've had time to write,
but it's food time now...
back into it.
