silver_chipmunkStarted the day by breakfast, and going to my Al-anon meeting by Zoom. There were some technical issues at the beginning but eventually it got straight.
After the meeting I made coffee, which I hadn't had time for beforehand, and then showered and dressed and went out to meet up withmashfanficchick, Elissa, and Elissa's daughter Reet. The 7 train is only running to 74th and Broadway, but that's where I transfer anyway so that was OK. I met up with them outside Starbucks by the subway stop.
First we drove to Elissa's house to change the car seat, and then we went to Roosevelt Field. We picked up Reet's glasses from the store, and then went to a candy store, Sugar Bear, where I gave in to temptation, and bought two chocolate truffles(which I haven't eaten yet). Then we went to another store that sells nuts and candies and teas and things, and I gave into temptation again and got a package of chocolate halvah (which I also haven't eaten yet). We stopped in some other stores but I didn't buy anything else.
Then we had to decide what to do for dinner and we settled on Greek. So Elissa found a Greek place not to far away with good reviews. It was very good indeed, but a bit expensive. Still, it was worth it.
We had a good Greek meal with a very friendly and helpful waitress. I got the gyro platter which came with soup, I got the lemon chicken. We got our desserts to go, I got baklava.
Elissa drove me home, and I came in and ate my baklava and then cleaned the cat pan.
Then I Skyped the FWiB, and we had a nice talk. By the time we got off it was past pet feeding time, so I fed the pets and started here.
And it was all in all a very nice day.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. Friends.
3. My meetings and the people there.
4. Got some goodies for later.
5. Seeing the kid tomorrow.
6. Nice weather,
