I Am Unreasonable, A Labyrinth Dilemma, and ...REALLY?

I went to the office today and made tea, because i am always making tea.

Usually the kitchen has nice small teaspoons.

Not today.

They were all gone.

So I had to use the shovel pictured below to stir my tea.

I work for a British company and this would never fly in the London office!

The reason I am unreasonable to complain about this is that I have a spoon of the correct size in my backpack.

I always carry one. Because you never know when you will need a spoon.

I just didn't feel like washing it.

There is a little labyrinth in Battery Park, and I want to paint there.

So today I took a walk at lunch to scope out the location.

I couldn't find it......

It's been a while since I was in Battery Park and it is a fuckcluster (and also a clusterfuck) of construction.

I am so embarrassed for my city.

It's so bad.

After texting with Kedrin, commiserating about the construction, and admitting defeat, I finally found the hidden secret entrance, which looks like it is barricaded by construction.  You'd never find it unless you were specifically looking.

I can't believe I found it!

It is a very peaceful adorable clearing- or it would be without the construction.

I'm not sure if I want to paint here or not (yet) because that dumb construction wall is such a bummer.

I could move the landscape at the left over, but I don't know.

It does affect the light, and not in a good way.

Something to think about.

This train notification just came in....... REALLY? SERIOUSLY?

THIS is what we have come to???
