Change in the air

There's a chill in the air these days. Winter is coming. I could feel it in my bones for the first time today. It was the first day off I'd had since starting my new job. I didn't leave the house, but cleaned and watched 'Hair' among other things. A TV day. I'm watching 'Moonstruck' now. I've been meaning to watch it since I took this job- the place is directly across the Lincoln Center. It's not the reason I took it, but I will say that the association didn't hurt. I ride the Q every day (except when I happen to catch the B) and walk through Columbus Circle and the Artist's and Merchant's Gates to Central Park. I get to walk past one of my favourite buildings, though it has a shiny new façade that replaces the strange 1960's original. 2 Columbus Circle, inspired by Italian palazzos; "the lollipop building." I'm sad that it's been modernised, but the fact that it still stands means that I can remember how it looked before. I'm nervous for the snow that will inevitably come. I hope that I will be warm enough. I hope I will adjust to the bustle of the City. My work life is falling into place. It's making sense, I'm getting the hang of things, though I'm still a bit slow in the Prep. The Health Department came yesterday. Completely terrified me. I've never been comfortable when I don't know the laws well enough. It's something to learn, I'm not going to let it frighten me again. Challenges. Memories. I have rambled enough.
