Significant increase of counter-t uniforms dwntwn today…

Usps missing package/mail submission form has been broken since at least last night — but you don’t find out until final submission page. Good job.

The post office has already lost two of my packages in transit this month…

this would be the moment for the pope to define his legacy and put the idiots in their place.

remember, we only hallowed andrew in 2020 because the bar was so low for senior leaders communicating to the public. still harassed women, still lied about how many seniors he killed, still too far from the left for nyc. & yet still too many on the ballot. we need some to drop. you need to vote.

When i was a kid, my dad and i would spend hours rolling loose coins to exchange at the bank teller for bills. I was never going to do that, but I have a coin jar. So i took it to one of those machones that take a dumb commission but still ended up with $20 bucks i wasn’t going to to use yesterday.

Just heard the 100+ year old Sicilian restaurant across the street from my old apartment unexpectedly closed. Yes they could see into my windows & always remembered what i last ordered & it creeped me out, but they also looked after me on the block. Anyone know what happened at Ferdinando’s?

anyone else notice it's been so long since c0p$ rode subways, none of them even remember how to ground their footing? wobbly g^ns make me feel totally safe.

They locked our phones up for this the other night. Brave move for a 2.5hr run.

Also file your taxes. My cpa told me today the irs is still open.

Went to the beacon tonight. I have both some opinions and some feelz about the new songs.

If flu & c19 vax aren’t available next year, how does medical tourism work to countries with socialized medicine? Are there always private clinics?

Yesterday, my living room floor zoom pilates class asked me if i do interior design work because i have their dream apartment and i will live off those compliments for at least six months.

Dropped & broke my 2nd pair of ceramic earrings on my hardwood floor. Tried to kintsugi these mocha mousse beauties & then stuck my gloved finger right smack in the repair & then smudged it even more… i think this means i get to buy another rug.

what do you wear on your feet when you're going to a 21st friendaversary dinner in a transportation desert neighborhood when a snow storm will arrive halfway through dinner? apparently lug-sole chelsea boots and leg warmers...

I had Calzado María José in Pastores, Guatemala make me a second pair of custom boots

Int’l indie designer spotlight: wool skirt & vest from Georgian (the country) brand Yuliko & Friends, boots custom made w/my design direction in Pastores, Guatemala at Calzado María José, leather earrings from a maker at a pop up market in Panajachel, Guatemala.

A pearl of wisdom i shared today. With the owner of an artisan framing shop. To justify my upsell change order. “There are seasons of life when you make compromises. And there are seasons of life when you should get exactly what you want.”

Make sure your olds are up to date on their tetanus shots because they are not & u will find yourself, on a fri night, logging into their insurance account to find a 24hr telehealth option at 11pm & finding a pharmacy open til midnight & then driving them to multiple urgent cares at 8am.

I learned about this gulf name change last night while on a zoom spanish class with my teacher in mexico. They are def like wtf?!

need recos for new luggage with rugged wheels that can manage uneven/cobblestone surfaces. large and carry-on sizes. Whatcha got?

Later, i sat down at a cafe in antigua & a repatriated retired gentleman chatted me up and he, his famous German artist, & i chatted the afternoon away. The joys of travel.

Went to a small coffee farm that’s part of a co-op of growers in san miguel, guatemala. It’s harvest season but these won’t be ready for 10 days. But we roasted some beans.

Saw a volcano eruption today from San Miguel guate

Had a private tour of an incredible guatemalan art collection inside a private house (mansion) museum today.

Morning volcano views from my room

Had a rough bus ride experience yesterday getting back to city life, but this traffic jam wasn’t the cause

Needed to see this yesterday.

Possibly the best cup of coffee i’ve ever had. From a korean company consulting with guatemalan coffee farmers & using their shop/lab in Pana for experiments.

How it started; how it’s going

You’re not gonna love every place that everyone else loves. But at least the lake is pretty. ..and i move on in 36 hrs.

Different name in every country. Coconut still always the best.

I told y’all to get those boosters & whatever else you’re putting off. Go get em! And on your 2024 deductible!

In a lake town, still in my travel mocha mousse, crabby from a crappy bus ride/driver & room not ready for 3 hrs & been up since 5am after landing at 10pm & is golden milk going to be enough to turn vacation mood on?

At one time, landing at 10pm and then taking a 6am bus sounded like an efficient plan. Also this hotel room is larger than my apartment & i could do so much living room floor zoom pilates if i didn’t book a 6am bus…

Got my typhoid shot but i still always board a flight with a belly full of probiotics!

i have four small boxes of CDs i'm still lugging around (i thought there was other stuff in them). Are there any shops in Brooklyn buying used CDs? Mostly Americana and Roots?

Last reformer class of the year on mr pilates’ bday. Ain’t that something.
