Today was a day I almost wasted. Like yesterday, I didn't have much energy. Unlike yesterday, I knew that I had to get out of the apartment to do some shopping for the week. However, with that as an excuse, I was motivated to get up to test a mattress I'm thinking of buying.

Normally, I'd take Metro North into NYC, then take a bus (or subway) to the area of the mattress store and hoof it from there. However, I had other transit plans for the day. Since I knew I'd have problems with an out of date Metrocard (see above), I decided to go to the subway station nearest Ex-GF-M's house and see if I could get help transferring the balance from one card to a new one. The older card (expiring during the worse of the pandemic) has to be mailed into the MTA for a refund. But at least, I should get some money back. The newer card hadn't yet expired, so I exchanged it for a new card and added some money to it.
Once on the subway, I knew that it would be a 1 hour trip into midtown. Luckily, the saatva.com studio was only a short walk away. After trying out their "HD" mattress for size (it's designed for heavy folk like me), I was close to making the decision to buy the mattress then and there. But I figure that I can wait until tomorrow, and be sure that I'm doing the right thing.
Next, I went home, buying some lunches for the coming week. I decided to cancel a few meetup RSVPs, so that I can spend more time at home - and maybe clean up my apartment with some of the time I freed up.
