Jul. 12th, 2005 07:09 pmSo yesterday when I took the A train home, I didn't have a seat. So naturally, I started crocheting while standing up [since everyone does that, right?] Then a guy offered me a seat. Turns out his mother always used to crochet him stuff.
Then today in my building a frum woman and I got to the laundry machines at the same time. I had 3 loads to put in the wash and she had 1 already in which had 10 minutes left and one that she needed to put in. So I told her to take one of the washing machines and I would just put my load in afterwards. Then she said when she came to take her first load out, she could put in mine. So I left the quarters in the machine, hoping for the best.
When I came back, lo and behold! My 3rd load was in the washing machine, being washed. Then I saw the woman again on the elevator ride back, and I told her about the remaining dryer [I could have waited 10 minutes for my 3rd load to finish, but I decided I'd just use the next dryer when one of my other 2 loads was done drying.]
I also had a small bag of cherios today that Estie gave me, and I asked the homeless guy that's always outside of Drisha if he wanted it. He said yes, so I gave it to him. I'm not bragging, more just thinking that perhaps my good luck today was due to my giving food to the homeless guy.
