  • I'm a Well Person with Symptoms...today

      I had the most amazing weekend in NYC with Boy Wonder and his girlfriend.  Luckily for me, my symptoms were at a minimum. I had lots of time with my son with and without the lovely Shana. And I was able to get to know Shana better. I chose to look at the city as an exotic amalgam of scents, odors, people and architecture. Surprises, most of them pleasant, around every corner.

       The train ride on The Ethan Allen in and out of the city was quiet, for the most part. On the trip down, a woman sitting across the aisle from me was listening to a recording on ear plugs. It was so loud I could hear it from where I sat. I decided not to let it bother me.  I daresay I had a more relaxing trip for that decision. Penn Station was big and overwhelming. So many people! all poised to find the gate for their train as soon as the big board proclaimed the location of their train.  As I was talking with Boy Wonder on the cell phone, a woman near me threw herself on the ground and was screaming. At first I thought she was having a seizure and was going to see if she needed help. It quickly became apparent she was screaming that a woman next to her had touched her purse. I was a little shaken, but the clamor of her screams and the police running to the spot helped my son locate me.

      Meals were managed around my no yeast dietary requirements. I did indulge in some fresh tomatoes. When we dined at Shabu Tatsu in the Village, I did indulge in some sauces that I'm sure were on the off-limits list. It was delicious!  Afterwards we attended Peter and the StarCatcher  http://peterandthestarcatcher.com/ at the Brooks Atkinson Theater. It was phenomenal! We laughed til we cried and laughed again. 

     

    Sunday we went to the 9/11 Memorial and then to The Metropolitan. More visual feasting. The fire fighters in turn-out gear at the Memorial was moving. They have made something beautiful out of the horror. 

    Today I am remembering the highlights of the trip as my Lyme symptoms remind me to rest. I feel so blessed to have shared this time with Mason and Shana in NYC.

    Blessings abound
