Day 55 of Juice Feasting - New York traffic and miracles

Non stop day today.  First day in New York city, which was spent helping my friend prepare for an event she was teaching tonight.  We went to Ikea, bought 30 chairs, dropped them off downtown, detoured by an organic discount produce place, zig-zagged back uptown, got changed, no time to juice, so I grabbed a bag full of produce and ran to the nearby Mexican juice bar, where they very kindly juiced everything with their fast and powerful machine.
I thus had more than usual:  5 liters/quarts of green juices, and I'm still hungry.  I didn't have time to think of the flavor combinations as I grabbed whatever was on hand (celery, cucumber, collard green, kale, chard, lemon, ginger, jalapeno, tomato, cilantro...) mmm.  It wasn't the tastiest ever, but it did the job.
On the way back down, the avenue was blocked and all traffic diverted, so I prayed they would let us through, because our time was way short.  The cop looked at us, and waived us through.  Score!  We thus had an empty avenue to sip down on, with a few buses and taxis... I definitely felt very protected throughout the day, as we narrowly missed crazy accidents, messengers on bike, running a red light in front of a cop - who had just turned his head the other way as we drove past him...
I feel so good being back in the town I love.  I am grateful ... and tired.
