silver_chipmunkI got up in time for my Al-anon meeting, had breakfast and coffee and showered. Then I Ubered over to Bowne Park.
The meeting was very good. I didn't go to the diner though because I had a podiatrist's appointment at 2, and, while I might have been able to get from the diner to the doctor in time by leaving early and Ubering, it was doubtful, and besides, I had my folding chair with me.
So I accepted a ride home, and got here at 1. I puttered online til 1:40, and then took an Uber to the podiatrist's office.
The traffic was awful and I was 10 minutes late, but it didn't matter. But sadly when the doctor saw me, the news was mixed. I'm healing nicely, all is well, but he wants me to take another month on the cane, and go for more X-rays and another appointment. I was really hoping all this would be done by now.
I took the 25 bus back, and, after texting the Kid, andmashfanficchick with the news, got on the computer for the Starsky and Hutch episode watch and chat, arriving in time to see about a quarter of the first part of the Plague, and all of the second part. Beautiful Starsky, awful lack of any scientific veracity. Afterward we chatted til almost 8, mostly about the David Soul Memorial Dinner that some of the group went to recently.We saw Lauren Dina's pictures from her weekend in California for the event.
After that ended, I Skyped the FWiB and we talked for almost an hour and a half.
Then I had dinner, and had just enough time to read one chapter of Busman's Honeymoon before pet feeding time.
Fed the pets, and here I am.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. The Kid.
3. The Starsky and Hutch fandom.
4. My meetings and the people there.
5. Good books.
6. Bed and mmore reading soon.
