My kitchen knives. I’m trying to get serious about cooking. https://www.instagram.com/p/CpGrQxfJcuW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My daily journal in my overstuffed Galen Leather cover. The sticker represents one of my favorite places to shop. You should try Yoseka Stationery in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. #yosekastationery https://www.instagram.com/p/CpAokYNuePE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I cut my hair today. First fresh haircut since I got my new glasses. I like my new glasses. They’re nice and sturdy, too. The frames are made by Clark. https://www.instagram.com/p/Co0zdhgpjNA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My view from work this morning. That horse had the loudest voice I have ever heard; more like a dinosaur’s. #work #equestrian https://www.instagram.com/p/CoXctcaL7ji/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Brussell Sprouts with soy sauce and sriracha. Pretty good. (at Fabric District Nyc) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn7XLZiuYqc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New eyeglasses. I really like these. Much more comfortable than the pair I had that broke in half a couple of weeks ago. I can see much better now, too. (at Queen Center Mall N.Y.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnNmW0SpZ8K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s a good thing I had my old pair of eyeglasses with me. These snapped on me when I took them off here at work. I’ve only had them about a year. The old pair I wore for 10 years before I bought these. I will never buy Autoflex again. I wonder if the optician is going to cover these. Luckily my prescription didn’t change. I never sat on these or fell asleep with them on my face. (at Fabric District Nyc) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmoeq3RuJHp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Off into the urban NYC wilderness. Cut my hair kind of short today. That’s ok. It’s raining. (at Jackson Heights) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmCvAv_Jiza/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We set up the Christmas decorations at work this morning. #christmas2022🎄🎅🎁 (at Fabric District Nyc) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClrbGKoJ3PP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Excuse the background but this is my new Fender Squier Telecaster electric guitar that I won in a giveaway from @_lexiroseguitargirl_ and @thenewphotosavings on Instagram. I picked it up today. It’s very nice. I will set it up and plug it in sometime this week. I’ll take a better photo, too. https://www.instagram.com/p/ClkHrZzpOS_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I ate this today. It was pretty good. I’ll buy it again. https://www.instagram.com/p/ClXT-O3JsBS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is the only picture I have of me when I was in the Navy. This was in Boot Camp in Great Lakes, Illinois. I enlisted when I was 17 years old. If I could do it all over again, I would have, only better. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck1fHYoJDnj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Do you think I have enough pens in my pocket? I also have a telescopic flashlight with a gooseneck on it. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckyyr3XB_tu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Got that out of the way. Let’s go Lee. (at Jackson Heights) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkV0mf1r7i-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

At work where I spend a third of my life, during the weekdays. https://www.instagram.com/p/CkHCfRgpY_d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
