After 11 hours of sleep you wake up at 10am. The only thing you look forward to getting old is that hopefully you will need less sleep. Waking up early to get to the office really interferes with your biological clock.
You get ready and off to Pastis for brunch. To your joy you are offered one of the best tables. Coffee is welcomed with great appreciation, the warm, strong liquid finally wakes you up. P. orders eggs you yield to pancakes with fruits. P. chats away, you people watch. Hours later you emerge into the streets and pull a map out of your purse.
The next couple of hours are spent navigating West Village and Soho in pursuit of real estate. One open house after another; you open closets, compare sizes, and wonder if any space could feel like home.
After quick stop to purchase Christmas tree you get home. P naps, you go to Equinox.
In the evening you stop for a quick bite at 360. Countless calories later (kobe beef burger, sweet potato fries, cobb salad, apple pie with ice cream, espresso) you're ready for a nap. You go to the movies, instead.
"Love in The Time of Cholera"; you watch the movie with pleasure, glad that you've had a chance to read the book earlier. You love Gabriel Garcia Marquez, his writing is incredible.
