i got into the airport at 5:45am to a LONG double, non-moving line for jet blue. noticed immediately my small rollybag's wheel is busted. looks like the axle is coming out the side. took until 6:30 to get my bag checked - they finally opened up another checker after nearly everyone was cursing them out for lack of proper management of the line. flight was a little bumpy but fine. i got off the plane around 3:30 NYC time, and got to the apartment around 4:45. L, one of the people from work, was waiting for me. she walked me down to show me the brand new and glorious 71,000 sqft 2-story whole foods. i went back for my wallet and unpacked a bit and made a list of supplies to shop. picked up mussels, salad, berries, (bread, bagel & cream chese for breakfast), and a few items for tomorrow's dinner plan of eggplant vermecili. they don't sell wine at the grocery stores here, so i walked home in the rain and stopped at a wine store. made dinner, mussels and salad with crusty bread with some pinot grigio. cursed the dull knives and lack of counter spaces or useful tools, watched last 30 mins of "my big fat greek wedding" and then did yoga and ma roller. unpacked, went to bed around midnight. set alarm for 7:30am with classical music. hard time falling asleep....it's quiet on my street, just different sounds to get used to.
