That's better (gym)

I had an annoying couple of days recently (Friday and a recurrence Sunday, with Saturday spent largely restoring my equilibrium before Sunday broke it again). I figured that part of the problem was lack of exercise; fortunately, today was a gym day.

It was a pretty good workout, lots of different exercises and I got myself back on the leg press, which I'd been missing (to spare the right heel), though at a slightly lower weight than I'd hoped for.

After the workout, I went down to Chinatown for one of my usual lunches, and a pot of tea; then over to the West Village, where I bought a half pound of golden Assam tea, had a "killer chocolate" cone at Mary's Dairy, and discovered that Varsano's is closed on Mondays in the summer. Thence home, air conditioning, and possibly further over-scheduling this week.

The over-scheduling is the result of several different people who I want to see being in New York briefly (three Californians and a Londoner), and my having cheerfully bought theatre tickets for this coming Sunday before I realized this. I will cope, but it's just as well that there's nothing at all scheduled for the following week.

Hair

My hair isn't remotely long enough yet, but it does seem to be at a length where I can pull it back off my neck on hot days, or when exercising, if I don't mind looking a little goofy. I'd rather not look goofy, but that's less important than not being overcome by the heat, or even than not needing to use the gym's shampoo or start carrying a bottle of baby shampoo in my already-cluttered backpack. [Today's high was around 33 C/92 F, and the humidity is creeping up.]
