And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks for the ire, guys.

I'm calling in working from home today. My head still hurts, but the stuff from biofeedback seems to be controlling it in bursts. Can't drive and do all that, or really do it properly in the office.

Thing is, I'm not sure where my boss's last nerve is, and when all of this is going to cross it. Work is weird enough as it is, for reasons that have nothing to do with me.

I just feel like there are no answers wherein ita takes care of her mental, physical and professional selves at the same time.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Which means that there will be a Whole Foods, a Trader Joe's and a Farmer's Market all within several hundred feet of each other.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice.

Now we just need a WF and a TJ's in downtown Brooklyn, and I'll be all set.

There's a WF coming to Brooklyn, but it looks like it's closer to your old apartment than your current one. [link]

Edit: Looking on Google Maps, it's actually not too far from you!

I wish there were a better solution, ita.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Where in Union Square is the TJs going?

Dude, we need a WF or TJ in Queens. Perhaps nearish the Target or Kaufmann Studios.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

NYistas, the Times reports that Trader Joe's is opening at Union Square in 3 months. (I've never had a Trader Joe's. But people seem to love them).

Its (and its wineshop) is on the ground floor of NYU's Palladium dorm (which should be terribly efficient and a tiny bit ironic).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There actually is a new grocery store being built near Kaufman, and I have high hopes that it will be snooty in some regard.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

TJs isn't snooty.

If I can't get my eyes to open more than half way, I don't have to go to work, do I?

TJ's is upscale/yuppy-ish, no? For the fancy people?

You can see I've never been to one.

TJs is cheap good-quality food. Often gourmet, but not exclusively. A great place to get wine and other alcohol, pasta, and frozen foods. And snacks!
