A Day in the

Waking up to the sound of traffic in the street below, and the ever present police sirens..welcome to the Bronx. Grab my weights,and go through one of a series of routines.. while i listen to the drone of the BBC reporter. Done with that. Grab a cup of hot coffee or hot chocolate depending on my mood, a slice of multigrain bread...trying to live healthy, and a teaspoon of peanut butter.

Run in to the shower hoping that my super would not be in one of his forgetful moods and forget to put on the hot water source. Luckily he did, several angry phone calls from me , threats have finally puckered him up. dry meslf....use my mitchum man finally got caught up with their adverts..dress up , shirt...run to the other closet grab a pant...run back and grab a tie...run back and grab a shoe..sock...dressed.. a dab of perfume to make me smile.
