silver_chipmunkI got up and had breakfast and coffee in time for a video call from my therapist. That went well. Then I puttered online, paying bills and so forth, until it was time for Middle Brother's Zoom call.
Oldest Brother heard from John in the morning that Aunt Helen came through her pacemaker removal OK, but Brianne wasn't at the Zoom, which I'm sorry about. But the Kid was, andmashfanficchick and zer mother were, and I had Oldest Brother on speaker-phone so he could hear and even be heard by the others. So it worked out OK. We sang Happy Birthday and talked a little. It didn't last very long.
After that I watched another episode of The Expanse. And that was exciting.
I finally made up my mind and did it... I downloaded LibreOffice so I would have a word processing program without paying for Microsoft Office or using google. It looks pretty easy to use, so i hope it was a good idea.
Then I Skyped with the FWiB. We had a good time. And then it was time for my meetings. They went well. I spent some time after talking to L, and we are making plans to go out for my birthday.
Then I had dinner, and called Oldest Brother again.
And here I am now.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. Middle brother's birthday call went well.
3. Friends.
4. Aunt Helen came through OK.
5. Word processing program.
6. My meetings and the people at them.
