weekend done

it was

 a wet 

very wet

 saturday 

i got my hair washed/blown dry 

then

 put my hood on

 and

 flattened out all the lovely fullness

 i cleaned 

out

 my closet

 a month or two ago

 weeding out 

all the things 

i no longer wear

 made up

 a big bag 

took

 it 

to a shop

 called

 second time around

 which sells your castoffs on consignment 

they look on line to determine the cost

 when it sells 

you get 40%

 if it doesn't sell in 3 months

 you take it back

 if what i brought them doesn't sell

 i will take it to housing works 

they take donations 

give you a tax deduction form

 win win

afterward

 i hopped the subway

 to

 columbus circle

to 

pick up a sweater

 i bought 

at 

an online shop

 to save shipping 

i had it sent

 to 

their brick and mortar store

 waiting

 for 

the uptown train

 these guys

 were 

performing 

wonderful music

 while i waited

 they played/sang 

'the christmas song'

 .. you know .. 

chestnuts roasting on an open fire

 it made the wait so pleasant

 i didnt mind

 being squished in

 with

 a lot of wet people 

for 

the short ride home 

after dinner 

take away from city bakery/bird bath bakery

chicken/corn/kale salad

gluten free pasta/arugala in a lemon dressing

kale/hazel nut/red onion salad

we settled in for the evening watching
