Pridefest!
After staying up very late watching our new binge, The Lincoln Lawyer, mashfanficchick and I got up late this morning. Stuff was going on by email and text about the cottage rental, too. I showered and dressed, and we went to Starbucks for coffee, and some egg bites.
Then we headed in to Pridefest. It was hot but not too bad, and one of the stalls was giving out free sunblock. We walked all through the fest, I only bought some lemonade and something Korean to eat, but there was a lot of free stuff.
The Kid called me about the cottage right when I was getting off the subway there, so we talked that through and decisions were made.
Nice thing, I was wearing my Bard Alumni baseball cap, and a girl caught up to me, and it turned out she was an incoming Freshman, and wanted to know what it was like. So I gave her a glowing report, and she was happy, so that made me feel good.
Eventually we finished everything, and we took the subway back, thoughmashfanficchick didn't go home, ze went to zer father's cause it's his birthday. I went back to zer apartment to pick up my overnight stuff, and kill time til the Uber home would be cheaper at night.
I got back successfully, and packed my stuff, and I ordered my tickets for my trip to the cottage, I am going on a Thursday because I thought that would be cheaper ticketing than Saturday. It wasn't but it's two extra day so OK.
Then I Teamed the FWiB. We were on for about an hour and a half when his brother called and he had to get off. Which was OK because it was time for me to call Middle Brother. Who is doing fine.
Then I packed up the computer, and went to Uber home. That was weird. I put in the request, and was told there was someone 4 minutes away. But he kept getting further away rather than closer! And just when I was about to cancel the ride and request another, the app reset, and I got another driver, also about 4 minutes away. Good, I thought. But almost immediately the app rest again, and I got a third driver, who did in fact show up and take me home. Weird!
I got home, and all was well. I unpacked a bit, fed the pets, and started here.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. The cottage rental situation is settled.
3. Got my tickets.
4. Pridefest!
5. Was able to reassure that girl.
6. Got home eventually.
