Everything new is old (everything old is new)

I'm feeling pleasant in the present. I'm not even miserable being at work. I'm just floating along, doing what the other workers do. It helps to leave the building, and I just spent an hour at Duane Reade. Yesterday I went shopping for Michelle and also just stared at stuff in Borders. There is a lot of shopping to be had around these parts, although I don't like crowds or lines. I like to do the zombie-window-shop-shuffle. That means picking up and examining things you're not even interested in, just killing time and preoccupied with something else. But I really feel happy today, haha. In less than an hour I'm going up to Harlem to meet my baby at her work, then we take Metro North to her parents' house for a holiday weekend, including Christmas tree decoration and everything.
