silver_chipmunkGot up this morning after somewhat broken sleep. Got out of bed at 10:30, had breakfast and coffee, then showered, washed my hair, and dressed. I wore my Old Navy flag tee shirt, and the flag silk scarf (not real silk) that came from Oldest Brother.
Was originally supposed to meetmashfanficchick at around noonish, but ze was held up by busses being canceled due to a Memorial Day parade near zer father's, where ze was staying. So I took my time getting ready.
Left the apartment at a bit before 1:00, and got to the Starbucks near zer a bit before 2:00, where I waited for zer.
We met up and went to the apartment and got ready for our picnic. We had lots of good stuff, largely fruits, vegetables and cheese. We packed a blanket and I had my folding chair. We went to Forest Park, and found a nice shady spot, and settled down.
By very pleasant coincidence zer friend Matt-Rob happened by, and he stopped, and stayed with us for the afternoon. So there were three of us, and that was nice. We talked and ate, and had a good time.
Finally it got to be about 6:30, and getting chillier. We packed up and said good bye to Matt-Rob, and headed back to the apartment.
We got there just in time to catch the very end of the Mets game, a 2-1 win over the White Sox.
I stayed talking til 8:30, then I Ubered home.
The FWiB has gotten his IMac working again, and we were able to Team. Though it turns out that Teams is not compatible with IMac, and he had to use the IPad, while using the IMac to look things up. But we got to see each other, which is the main thing.
Then it was pet feeding time, so I fed the pets, and got started here.
A satisfying day.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB got his computer fixed.
2. The many who died for this country.
3 Forest Park.
4. Good food.
5. My cat.
6. Friends.
