amazing grace guy

Amazing grace guy was on the subway again just now. The man across from me in a Yankees cap and jacket started crying and even with the guy gone hasn't stopped. All these years later and I still assume it's 9/11.

This time someone gave the man change and he seemed more willing to make the nature of why he was there clearer after that. I gave him a dollar and he thanked me, one hand up to his face in prayer. He waited and thanked me again once eye contact was made. Connection always matters. He came to thank me three separate times, saying, "Thank you. Gratitude'" each of them.

pllumbers here. banging on ceiling to see what's what. ceiling now collapsed. i hate all the sounds. reminds me of the flood when i was little. they're turning on the water upstairs to see where the leak is. the plumber is singing to my cats. the plumber and the super yell at each other through the ceiling. Sounds bad. Am frustrated i cannot follow their Spanish well; I studied Castillian and they are too fast for me. Ah stupid workmen upstairs unhooked the tub and all water flowed into the wall /ceiling. Twenty minute fix upstairs. ceiling? who knows.

Looks like it's not just the upstairs misconnected tub. More ceiling comes out/down as they search for the smaller leaks at least one of which we all think is related to the pipe to the sink. Taking pictures. Lots of fun for you all later.

That hole doubled in size before they were done, and when they come back to close it all up, more is probably getting ripped down first.
