I just learned that a large Asian food store is approximately three-quarters of a mile from me. Probably less than a fifteen minute walk. And they have a bakery onsite. I might be able to get fresh red bean paste buns; that would be happiness!

It's a little difficult to read lit when one is having some kind of allergic reaction in one eye. I was more optically sound earlier today when I bought some books for my classes while I was on campus. I also went to a grad student unionization meeting. It'll be interesting to follow that process along. It sounds like the trigger was some changes last year that SU was talking about making to health insurance availability for GAs.

I got email today about the local neighborhood meetings that my landlord was going to tell me about. Because that's the way the universe works, the next one is on a Tuesday during my one late-night class. I'll have to see if they are always on Tuesdays, because I'd really like to attend.

That bag of pierogies from Wegman's was a great buy. There are *so many pierogies*. 48 of them, in fact, minus the ones I've eaten. I do wish I'd thought to buy some shredded cheese to put on them though.

For those who have asked and/or are interested, a few snapshots of my apartment at the end of my first week here in Syracuse. Still some work to do, but it's shaping up. The bike in the kitchen hallway actually has a place on the rack above the other bike in front of the window, but it's just kind of easier to leave it in the hall unless I'm moving things in and out.

The landlords are talking about putting a lockable gate on the narrow walkway that goes to the backyard. Then I'd be able to leave whichever bike I'm using, as well as my trailer, back there. That would simplify things a great deal and I really hope it happens. But even if it doesn't, this is workable so far.
