On Thursday we are leaving for NY. We are staying with Bryan for three days, then heading to the city for four days. Pete didn’t want to spend 22 dollars a day for parking so he made reservations at a Marriott in NJ so then we can take the ferry into the city every day. Pete has hundreds of thousands of Marriott points to use. Do you think that he was thinking of me. I don’t. Staying in the city would have been much easier for me. After his great big lie, I told him to cancel the reservations to the hotel. I only wanted to go up and spend time with Brylee. I told him that it would be no fun, he’s never any fun. Of course he swore it would be fun, so again I caved. We had plans to go to the 9/11 Museum, the High Line, Hudson Yards, maybe a play and last night I said I wanted to go to Strawberry Fields too.

I haven’t been to the city since before Covid. For years we took the train down at Christmas time and spent the day seeing all the holiday sights. A couple of visits to Tiffany’s too. Maybe I’ll add that on too. It was nice living in NY and taking the train whenever you want to go into the city. My best times were always with friends: plays, concerts, shopping, Central Park and of course, Strawberry Fields. My friends and I have take a limo into the city on several occasions and one of my favorite dates was taking a limo, and going to a dance club, such a fun night!

I’m not feeling great. I have recurring gnawing in my gut and still not sleeping at night. It’s all in response to him being caught and the continuing lie. I didn’t bring it up yesterday but he needs to know that I think his story is a load of shit and I’ll never trust him. The only reason I’m moving along with this trip is to be able to see my granddaughter and do things in the city that I have been dying to do and he is only my ticket to achieving this.
