Empire State Day 6

I slept in today and ended up spending most of it cataloging the previous days’s events. While also trying to find out where to get groceries from and place my Instacart order. However I still might go out later tonight because its currently only Seven-Fifty. My Instacart order is taking forever, and a small part of me does feel like I’ve completely wasted this day. Or maybe that my Instacart driver is doing something weird to my food because it’s taking so long. The guy did mess up the order, but it didn’t take me too long to get over it.

The rest of my night was pretty boring, until I was fortunate enough to have a conversation with my German landlord. I can’t exactly remember how the conversation started but it led to the topic of Europe and me softly grilling him as if he would consciously admit to the collapse of the International World Liberal Order. Also about how he felt about the United States pulling out of its Post World War Two commitment of providing security for the European Continent at large.
