blather
its sunday afternoon
i just got back from brunch
cantina
west 48th street/11th avenue
not a great view for a rooftop restaurant
but
an excellent bunch
capping off
a very busy social butterfly of a weekend
friday
toonman and i cleaned the apartment
he vacuums the floors
i vacuum the furniture
then
the professionals arrived
steam cleaned the couch/love seat the arm chair and ottoman
i am embarrassed to tell you
its been 5 years
since
we had them professionally cleaned
considering there are
3 cats
2 humans
living here over the last 5 years
the dirt
the oops-is
added up
i think
they look almost like new
if you ignore
the
wear/tear
annie inflicts
she just wont use the scratching posts
plural
we have 3
in fact 3 different types
i kept hoping she'd find one she would use
saturday
a super busy day
began
at exhale spa
massage
and
facial
left me totally relaxed
i zipped back across to the westside
yi blow dried my hair
forcing it to curl under
sadly my hair has a mind of its own
by midday it was curling up
the subways were insane
weekend construction complicated by signal issues
the westside trains all ran only to 14th
then the expresses went local
the locals went back uptown
i met my friends clint and larry at my office
after the walk around
after a few photo ops
we headed over to lunch
southwestny
is on the corner of south end and albany
good food good drinks
i didnt take any photos
we were too busy catching up
then we walked over to our friend's place
le pet spa
its on the corner of south end and rector
if you need a good pet supply and grooming place
this is it
on the way back from brunch sunday
(today as i write this)
i made melissa drive round the block
the block being 57-56 streets between 11th and west
so
i could jump out of the car
and
take a photo of this building
its so odd
the summer is really winding down
next friday
is
my next to last fridaycation
i plan on filling it up
til then
you'll have to be satisfied
with
toons
water towers
and
wordless photo posts
