No breakfast. First full week of work.
$3.45 the most depressing salad of my entire career -- ignored the wilted mesclun mix (the inclusion of red lettuce in any salad bag or any salad mix is a 100% certain sign that you are going to be eating gritty, rotten vegetable matter, I hate mesclun after learning this fact, the hard way) and went straight to the sad, watery, slightly too cold iceberg lettuce and random red leaf veggie (cab) mix, topped with soybeans, chunks of broccoli that are entirely too large to be pleasant for a salad, dried out chicken breast cubes, red and yellow bell peppers tossed in blue cheese (which is really watery blue cheese since the cafeteria folks don't really dry the salad that well) from a styrofoam bowl. I am going to start bringing my own salads to work because eating is a chore from the cafeteria. The upside is that I recently got an insane micro greens salad mix from the farmer's market and it was the most incredible, tender, fresh, broom of the system wonderful mouthful of greens that I've ever had. I feel like a happy cow.
$0.72 red bartlett pear. Despite eating this as my mid-afternoon snack, I felt super hungry.
$3.99 chicken gyro from a 14th street halal cart on the way for a 45 minute subway ride to Bedford-Stuyvesant to pick up our bicycles which we would promptly grab and ride back for 45 minutes to Manhattan. I remain convinced that the ride over the Brooklyn bridge at night, into the heart of wall street and the skyline, over the wooden planks and over the river and through the wind (to grandmother's house we go?) is one of the greatest experiences New York has to offer. It is a free moment.
$4.20 for a red velvet donut and marble glazed donut and decaf small coffee from Donut Pub at 10 pm on the way to the subway station. Just cuz. Donut Pub is the best.
Today, although a good day, was a sad day because work has picked up in such a manner that I think I have legitimately lost the rest of the month and most of April. My new plan is to quit my job in May and line up a job for July or August, giving myself 2-3 months to pursue Villager full time. This seems eminently reasonable.
