Day shopping, evening with Chris

I got up at 10:00 and started breakfast only to discover that the milk had gone disgustingly sour. I threw everything out, and made coffee (I Use sugar free creamer not milk in it) and then showered and dressed.

Then I went out and had breakfast at the bagel shop, a bacon egg and cheese on a roll with orange juice.

Then I got the bus and went into Flushing, made a stop at the bank, and then took the 7 train into the city. There was some jerk on the train playing loud Michael Jackson music on his phone with an external speaker, and I was so annoyed that I missed my stop, had to get off at 5th ave and turn around and got back to Grand Central where I took the 6 train to Union Square and their Holiday Market.

mashfanficchick had called me while I was underground and left a message so I called back. Then I shopped through the Market. I got something for Middle Brother, and nothing else though. I did get food. Hot chocolate, a steamed roast pork bun, and a beef and cheese empanada. That was lunch.

Then I started out for the Strand. I wasn't sure how to get there, so I used Google Maps which took me a long way around. Good for strops though.

I shopped in the Strand for a long time. I got books for the Kid, for her boyfriend, and for mashfanficchick, as well as two half price paperbacks for me.

Finally I headed for Barnes and Noble. I was going to shohp there, but I was too tired, I just sat in the cafe and ok=layed on my phone. I didn't buy anything because it's a Starbucks and no buying from them until the strike is settled.

So I played on my phone til Chris got there. Then we briefly discussed where to eat, an decided on a sushi place a little way away.

We both got the three roll for $23 deal, and he got a dragon roll for us to split. It was very good though truthfully I have had better. But it was very nice and he paid for it.

So I suggested we go for coffee and that I'd pay so we found a coffee shop nearby and did that. It was lovely lattes, better than Starbusck actually, so there!

Then he went with me on the 6 train to Grand Central where we said goodbye and I took the 7 train and 44 bus home. I got my first Christmas card, from Liz and Frank, very nice.

Then I Teamed the FWiB, but not for long as it was late.

Now time for bed. I have blood tests tomorrow so no breakfast or food after 12.

But I had a lovely day today.
