High Stakes: Bus Tix, Tights & Shoe Repair

After weeks of waiting for payments from four sources, I finally received one.

Therefore, I was finally able to pay for  things I needed.

Good night. I'm tired after a rough evening with Punch, to top off a day in the city.

TCOY

1. Walked 1 hour plus in NYC.
2. Water.
3. Finally got shoes repaired. My Tory Burch black wedges, bought two years ago this December, were scuffed and the heels were worn down. I went to the shoe repair place in the Port Authority on my way to work.
4. Ordered Wolford tights. These are a vital, stylish, feel-good part of my work uniform, and they last forever. One of my black pairs has a couple of tiny holes after many years.
