silver_chipmunkAs I said, I spent last night at mashfanficchick's place. We got up this morning and I showered and had coffee.
Then we tried to go to zer comic book store for Free Comic Book Day, but the line was out the door, down the block, and around a corner. So ze didn't, and we left for Five Pennies Creamery in Beacon, New York.
We went up the Taconic, which is always nice, but I slept a lot of the way, don't know why I was so tired but I was. Then we made a brief stop at Fishkill Farms so ze could buy some stuff.
Finally we got to Beacon, which is an adorable little town, and went to the Hudson Valley Food Hall which is where Five Pennies is now. We ate a meal there, I had a bacon, egg, and cheese on fried bread, which was supposed to be British, and was very good. And a Nutella latte iced to drink. Then after we ate, we had ice cream. It was as good as ever, which is wonderful.
We hung out a long time talking, between ourselves and the owner, Danny. It was fun. Then by the time it was 6ish we headed back home.
Again, the drive was very scenic, and this time I didn't fall asleep. We got back to the city, and went to zer place where I packed up my stuff from the past few days, and they brought me home.
I Skyped the FWiB, and got a text from the Kid (I texted her earlier and she had responded to that, then she texted again.)
SO that was my first day of retirement, and it was fun. I am starting to feel a little shaky as the reality of never going back to work again sinks in. But I am mostly feeling good.
It is Star Wars Day: May the Fourth Be With you.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. Ice cream.
3. Road trip!
4. My friends.
5. The Kid.
6. Home again.
