Goal: don't get lost!

Yesterday it was overcast and rainy. I didn't go out much, except to get food. Right now we have only paper bowls, plastic cutlery, and no food. There is a Brita water pitcher in the refrigerator,but that's it! Alli won't be surprised to read this. She would say that was the norm for the past year. I used to love to cook, but lately I've found other things to occupy my time. Recently, it's been searching for and applying for jobs. Anyway, for breakfast, I walked to the end of the block to get a danish and coffee at the natural market. It's amazing. They have literally anything you could possibly want to eat, and it's not at all expensive.

I ate at the market, but then walked until I finished my coffee. I stayed on the same street just to be sure I wouldn't get lost. Richard has sarcastically nicknamed me Magellan because, even with a Smartphone and a GPS, I can manage to get lost! I went out again for lunch, but wanted to go to a different place this time. There's a Subway "restaurant" (just wanted you to know that 1. I wasn't referring to the mode of transportation and 2. I don't consider it a real restaurant) across from the market, so that's where I went. I brought my food back to the apartment and ate on the couch. It will be nice when we get some sort of table in here. As I said before, Richard rented some basic furniture to get by with just until I got here. Now that I'm here, we have to decide if we go with the custom Murphy bed option, or get a better sleeper sofa and other living room pieces. The Murphy bed is cool because a bed and dining table fold out from it and it has built-in closets on both sides of the bed and a big storage unit above, for hiding the pillows and blankets when the bed is folded away. The downside is that we also want the couch on that side of the room so we keep this view. Here is the view from the couch while sitting...

Here's the same view, but I'm standing up this time...

It's pretty awesome! As you can see, the weather is much nicer today. I'm still not planning to venture too far from home again today, but I do want to go to the walkway along the Hudson to get some exercise.
