Monday Monday

A day in the life of (an unemployed) MK while enjoying her (short lived) time in (the spring of) New York City...

(All times are approximate. Events subject to rescheduling due to weather, planned day or night activities and/or auditions.)

-8:30am - Morning text/call from my love (a great way to start any day)
-9:30am - Outta bed, face washed, teeth brushed, and eating breakfast
-10:30am - Mile walk to Astoria Park with stops by Brooklyn Bagel for a caffeinated beverage (if it's 59 degrees or below, a hot, black coffee. if it's 60 degrees or warmer, an iced coffee with skim milk, no sugar. Sometimes I go with The Bagel House, but the old lady that normally works the counter in there scares me and I hate drinking from styrofoam cups) and picking up the free daily Metro and AM papers
-11:00am - Feet in the grass, sunshine on my back, doing my crosswords
-12:30pm - Walk back to apartment
-1:00pm - Lunch
-2:00pm - Daily project time (whether it be running errands, laundry, or a trip into the city for red mango and/or hang out with friends... Today it was a special project for Kevin's birthday. And I watched episodes of Arrested Development...)
-6:30pm - Dinner
-8:00pm - Gym (which sometimes comes right after the park. Wednesday and Saturday are definite early gym days... Those are my yoga mornings)
-9:45pm - Shower
-10:00pm - Skype date with Kevin
-12:00am - Either picking up where I left off of a certain movie that I can never stay awake to watch the entirety of every night, or enjoying a chapter or two of my current read


It's nothing exciting like bathing with elephants in Thailand or nightclubbing with friends in Monte Carlo (been there, done those), but for now I'm happy about how I spend my time here. New York in springtime is a magical place and to be able to slowly take it all in and stop and smell the roses (figuratively speaking of course, because I'm sure if someone actually had a rose garden in front of their house, they'd have to install an ugly security fence to prevent passerbys from disturbing the flowers) is a beautiful thing.
