silver_chipmunkGot up around 10:30. and, as is my wont, emailed the FWiB. Had breakfast, had coffee, no reply. Called mashfanficchick and made plans for the day. Showered, dressed, nothing from the FWiB.
Went over tomashfanficchick's place by mass transit, by about 1:30 I was really rather concerned at no response. Then he emailed me with a message that indicated he hadn't received any of my emails all morning. Annoyance and relief. We switched to my Gmail account and were able to communicate for the est of the day.
Meanwhile I helpedmashfanficchick with some cleaning for a couple of hours. And ze got some bona fide Good News, one of the places they asked to get a second opinion on zer mother called to arrange for a consultation next week. Prayers that it goes well, anyone who's a praying person. I texted the Kid to tell her, and she replied, and also sent some cute pics of her cat under her Christmas tree.
Anyway, eventually we went out for a late lunch/early dinner, at The Cottage, a lovely Irish pub/restaurant. We both had burgers, mine was with Swiss cheese, fried onions, and mushrooms and was delicious. After that we tried to run an errand to a locksmith to get some keys copied, but the place doesn't seem to exist any more.
So at that point ze had to get back home for an appointment, and I headed home too, by mass transit rather than Uber because it was earlier than I usually leave.
I got home pretty quickly despite having to get out of the 7 train at Mets-Willets Point in order to get another train to Flushing. I had a package from Amazon, one of Middle Brother's books, waiting. Also my second Christmas card of the year.
I Skyped the FWiB, and then he discovered that the reason he hadn't been getting my email was that it had all gone to his Spam folder. Very annoying. We had a nice talk, then at 8:30 I called Middle Brother. He is fine. He wants to see Oldest Brother and I told him we would do that Christmas day.
I also spent some time cleaning out my purse, looking for the printout of the request for the blood tests I'm having tomorrow. I never needed the printout before, but this is a different location so who knows. I took out a LOT of junk and threw it out, my purse is much lighter now. I also took out a lot of pennies from my wallet and put them in Peter Penguin, the cookie jar where I keep change.
Then I went to the bedroom and played solitaire and scrolling Facebook and Bluesky. Then it was pet feeding time, and I fed the pets and started here.
And that was the day.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB and I finally got the email going.
2.mashfanficchick's mother has a consultation.
3. The person here who moved my package from the very unsafe place the delivery person left it outside, to inside in front of my door.
4. Heard from the printers of the Jorts the cat cards, they are on their way.
5. Found the printout of the test request, just in case.
6. Warm clothing.
