A trip to the city...

I could go chronologically, but that's not how I think?

1. Sleep Study

Not what I expected. I honestly had no idea what to expect - but the forms on NYU Langone site worried me.

2. As promised, I decided to walk to Rockerfeller Center and along fifth and sixth avenue on the way home - and dear god, walking was an effort. I've never seen it this bad. And apparently it was worse on Saturday per my co-workers, which is hard to imagine.

Here's the Christian Dior Lit Up Clock on the side of Sak's Fifth Avenue, note how many people are standing around looking at it.



They even had people in costumes of cartoon characters and muppets...

The clock is beautiful and kind of a trip? It lights up in stages and sets off fireworks...

Then I walked past Radio City Music Hall on my way to Rockerfeller Center Christmas Tree. Rockerfeller Center is on 5th Avenue and extends all the way to 6th Avenue.

For a Monday night - there was a crowd of people lined up in front of Radio City Music Hall. Once the tree is lit - it's grid-lock alert in Midtown.
They started closing off cross streets to allow for better pedestrian over flow. And on Sunday's - they close off sections of fifth avenue.

Near the tree - a Salvation Army guy was having fun dancing to Feliz Navidad.

And here's the Rockerfeller Christmas Tree and the Skaters...

And the tree itself..

I don't regret seeing it, considering it was pretty and cheery - but it was really hard to find the subway for a bit there, and the crowd was insanely thick and unwieldy, partly because we had a lot of tourists standing about chatting, taking selfies or looking bewildered. You can always tell the New Yorkers from the Tourists - the New Yorkers thread through, might take a photo, but fast, and don't stand about.

3. I got home around 6pm, and went to pick up the package that I'd been texted had arrived today. But it wasn't there. I asked the Super's Wife.
They said it should still be there. It wasn't. She said, probably stolen. The package thief strikes again.

4. Crazy Workplace

Sigh. I think my workplace is trying to kill me again? I had a panic attack last night at 3 Am in the morning. I'd woken up and couldn't go back to sleep, and felt like someone was sitting on my chest, making it hard to breath. It went away finally. But the tension had tightened my chest.

There's too much going on at work at the moment and I can't keep track.
I keep forgetting things, and worrying about making small mistakes.

But alas, I did meet my goals today. Basically I accomplished everything that I needed to accomplish - and let BYT know I was off to my doctor's appointment.

So all in all - a highly productive, if somewhat stressful, day?
