Went to the Ikea in Red Hook, Brooklyn this weekend. Took the free water taxi there. Very nice. Bought a new bed. I think I made a big mistake. I got some sort of foam or latex mattress thing. It's very thin. I feel like it's just not comfortable. I've been waking up a lot at night. My back hurt this morning. I'm very stressed about this. How am I even going to take it back? It's too big for me to lug it on the subway. Help!
Went to some Italian restaurant on Saturday. Family style. We ordered two dishes. One was pasta with eggplant and marshmallows. Yikes.
Went to the West Indian day parade yesterday. It was in Brooklyn, close to the Grand Army Plaza. This was an intense experience. I'm lucky to be alive. Had some jerk chicken and some sort of fish marinated in vinegar and peppers. Yum.
