Miscellaneous small new experiences:

1) I've been consistently sleeping like eight-and-a-half or nine hours a night, which is a bit much for me; I wonder if my body is releasing all of the stress that I'd been keeping in from living in a deteriorating city.

2) Even though my new landlord told me to throw out all of the mail for the (previous) (evicted) tenant, I did open up some billing stuff that came in to make sure that it wouldn't be anything that he would need, and the letter ended up saying that he missed a psychiatric/psychological appointment sometime in mid-October.

3) The hurt in my back is slowly disappearing (probably because I'm not riding in to the subway to commute anymore? - the saddle of the replacement bike that I got after my previous bike was vandalized this summer was doing things to my back, I think, even though I'd ride it for just 5-10 minutes at a time to get to the subway stop and back).

4) When I went on a far bus route to go drop off some couch cushions to get reupholstered at a family owned business that's been around for decades and now seems to be run by a bro-ish son or two, I really got hammered with carsickness on the way back, I think because it was a small shuttle bus and not a regular large one, and it took all of these side roads and was always going on curves and starting and stopping, and on top of that I wasn't eye-level with the street and it had become dark and so my body couldn't easily look out the window and figure out what to expect with the way the bus was moving...  When I finally got home, I almost vomited when I stepped outside of the bus, and it took simply hours till I started feeling all right again.

5) When I went to go wash a bowl in the morning from eating the previous evening, there on the bottom of it lay a light dirty grey turnip-ish colored nub, that had an odd little dip on the top of it.  I couldn't figure out for the life of me what it was, but since it looked like a vegetable scrap, I put it in my mouth and bit into it a little, and I got a rather sharp-ish orange bite, and all of a sudden I realized that it was the navel scrap from an orange that I'd peeled the previous night, and when I went to go throw out all of the scraps, it must have fallen into the bowl in the sink and sat there and aged overnight and changed color a bit, from white to light grey, and that's why I didn't recognize it at first.
