New York on a Tuesday

Hmm... I had a great day today. I met up with an old (not age-wise, just length of time-wise) nursing friend. He didn't know that I was in NY until I emailed him after I received an email from him saying how he was loving celebrating his birthday in NY. So long story, but we ended up making plans, texting each other at 9:00pm, Monday night. Having the flexible schedule that comes with not working, I jumped on a train and headed into Manhattan today. We ended up in Brooklyn, visiting over perogies and clubhouse sandwiches. It was great to catch up and have a laugh. It was so fun to meet up in such an exciting city, so far removed from the places and circumstances that we knew each other from.

After our lunch, my friend caught his plane and I went to wander NY by myself. The day was sunny and warm and I didn't really have a specific plan, which ended up being the best thing. I did manage to get in some shopping, but I also just wandered through some of the streets, just looking at the buildings and the people. I felt like it was a great way to experience NY. I really wish that we could live right in the city but I guess I will just have to make many more trips like this one.

Another great thing- we have found an apartment to rent!! We don't get it until October 21st, which is fine because they are putting in new everything. And we have a great view of the woods and a pond.
