New exercise, and Chinatown

I slept all the way until 8:30 this morning (woo!), and was ready to go about an hour later. Of course, I underestimated how long it takes to get from home to the subway when we stop to browse a block of Greenmarket, but that's okay. I got Tydeman apples, apple/raspberry cider, blueberries, and meat.

Then I went to the gym, where I took my time, and learned a new machine. After working myself thoroughly out, I went down to Chinatown, stopping on the subway platform to assist some bemused tourists, who are used to a much more compact, air conditioned subway (Washington). I walked up as the woman was saying to one of the children "I hate this place", asked them where they were going, and assured them that yes, the R would take them to the Statue of Liberty, even though it also goes to Bay Ridge. In Chinatown, I met eleanor for dim sum (spending more than I'd expected, because we cheerfully got as many things as we might have if we'd been three or four people instead of two), and browsed Chinatown a bit. I have the pens and pony-tail holders I needed. I have ginger and scallions. I have fresh figs (and was bemused by the would-be customer who was unhappy because the stand had no dried figs) and thin asparagus. I even have two more rice bowls, because I liked the pattern.

Then home, and tea, and I'm sitting here trying not to grumble too much because I have (pre-)menstrual pain.
