This is my old Russian Aunt.
I look exactly like her. Well, not now. But I will.

I'm eating a knish

That’s Jewish for “It burns the roof of my mouth”

I put this in the useless but colorful category

Has anyone stayed at the Chelsea Hotel?

Is it as bad as the reviews on Tripadvisor say it is?

And the snow
Though it falls
It never falls hard enough
It masks the smooth
Exposes the rough

Winter is creeping in.

Money

Even though I had used up all my extended coverage way back in August and I don’t have more until January, I had to book an appointment with the massage therapist. I’ve been suffering since then with a knot in my back that a fisherman could have tied.

I am excited to go get massaged but I am not happy I have to pay for it. That’s like $100!

I know how it happens but I’m powerless to stop it - I sit at the computer with my right shoulder hiked up, all day long.

Oh well. I console myself that I’m supporting some massage therapist who’s pulling herself up by the bootstraps.

Chin up, massage lady. I’m bringing my dough to you!
