Wasted Saturday....

This is the first Saturday in weeks that I did not have plans, so I pretty much did nothing all day.  I did not go to the gym last night because of the rain storm.  Instead I had sushi at my favorite local sushi restaurant.  I also had some sake...too much sake.  I just can't drink alcohol like I used to since the cancer treatment.  I seem to get drunk quicker and with very little, and the following day (like today) I feel as though I have been hit by a truck.  Maybe it's an after effect of the chemo?  Who knows.

The housekeeper was scheduled to come this morning at 8:30 am.  Yes, that's right I have cleaning lady who comes once or twice a month.  My brother hired this service while I was in treatment and I got spoiled.  I feel really funny hanging around while someone else cleans my house so I took my camera and wandered around Coney Island in the early morning hours.  I stopped for coffee at the coffee and flower place.  It turns out they have wifi there and their coffee is really good. Nobody seems to be hanging out in there yet. I hope it catches on and stays open because the Starbucks in Brighton Beach is way too crowded and I like supporting local businesses.

btw: The certified letter turned out to be a letter from my breast surgeon to let me know it's time for my six month check.  I guess they mean business when you've had cancer.

That is a great photo! Dang, I've never seen Surf Avenue look so immaculate that you could damn near eat off the asphalt.

One hot August night, last year, while a friend of mine and I were waiting for a cab, I saw a rat the size of a football rifling through mountains of trash next to F.F.

While I'm not sure I agree with all the slated redevelopment in the area, parts of Coney could definitely afford to be hosed...in the industrial strength water hose sense of the word.

Hope you're feeling better.
