Woke up after 11 – good sleep!

I read a chapter of The Power Broker about beginning media coverage criticizing Moses' housing projects (Lincoln center, etc).

Organized notes about apartment search: put our viewed apartments from early October and September; then added two number to each listing – down payment and total monthly payment (maintenance + principle).

SH got back and said our offer of $515K was rejected. "The agent called me and said the number is too low and they refused to counter back." Asked me what to do. I proposed $531K or $545K, she said "We can start at $530,000. Let me know your final thoughts." I said okay. Then I was confused if she proposed to go with 530K or she just picked up my number.

I went to bike around 5. Stopped by a new cafe in Harlem: big and spacious and empty. I wrote some more notes there. Then I went to Trader Joe's at 125th. It was big and spacious again, and the line was short. 

In the evening we cooked soba with salmon. Then I played some video games and smoked weed. I baked cornbread. Played some Valhaim, but got a base raid with bats, and didn't know how to fight it, so I stopped. 

I slept by about 2am.
