Well, i only slept five hours last night. I think it'll be another day of rest. I have veg in the fridge to get cooking, if i get some energy later. That foam slab mattress is WORSE for my back than the air mattress. Don't think i can stand over a stove and sink today. We'll see.

I got restless last night, and i feel uneasy here at home now that i've concluded there is something fishy going on in our convenience store, which i have allied myself with pretty closely, and been high-profile with building management and my neighbors trying to promote. I'm uncomfortable here now at night.

So last night i went out to a pub, by myself. I don't drink alcohol in public, for security reasons. So i just had a Shirley Temple. Then i was hungry so i had a "Boxty" which is the Irish word for a very hearty and substantial egg dish. I had the veg option, with salad.

The entree was just exceptional! I was delighted! I'll definitely go back. Boy, did it hit the spot! It was piping hot! This pub is just a ten-dollar taxi ride from my home. (Bus service there is not good). I feel like going back there again today, just so i can have another veg "Boxty." They didn't charge me for the decaf i had for dessert, and the mocktail was only three dollars, so the whole experience was quite affordable.

I'm glad i have a neighborhood place to go now when i get restless on Saturday nights. The decor of the place was fascinating, they had this antique cash register behind the bar, and on the wooden post beside me they had this rusted ornate lion's-head-door-knocker with the ring thru his teeth -- and it even worked!

I could move the ring and knock for service! I didn't do that tho, that would have been rude. Service was good anyways. I didn't need to summon them, they were dashing to-and-fro behind the bar in front of me, and kept a good eye on me.

So happy to have a new favorite place that's casual and exceptional quality, and NOT in downtown. I think going to fancy places stinks. Since my recent incident of being a victim of a hate crime downtown at a fancy hotel on January 12, i have COMPLETELY reversed my feelings on elegance.

Give me "fascinating, casual, rustic" any day. The people are relaxed, there's bonhomie, prices are affordable, and there's not some fool of a security guard getting in-your-face, and trying to throw you out, and insulting you that you're an "undesirable" just because you have sunglasses on indoors, and your black hoodie up, because the morning light is hurting your eyes.

Fanciness and elegance and security hysteria can go to Hell!!! I'll speak with my wallet.
