silver_chipmunkMy alarm went off at 10:00 but I turned it off and dozed til about 11:30. Then I got up and had breakfast and coffee.
Then I puttered online for a long time. But I finally pulled myself together, tossed on some clothes and took out the garbage and recycling. It took two trips, and I walked around the block each time so I got a little bit of exercise anyway.
Then I worked myself up to trying to do something about the turtle tank. I had even more trouble with the siphon this time, I was only able to get about a half bucket out. I replaced it with three buckets of clean water so it's better, but not good. I will have to make this a priority after I get back from my vacation.
Anyway, I did that, and then went to the bedroom to lie down and play solitaire. I did that til 6:30 when I came out to the living room and realized I had forgotten about the bag of trash I filled in the bedroom yesterday. So I took that out too and walked around the block.
Got back just in time to Team the FWiB. We talked until it was time for my Al-anon meeting. Annoyingly my Petco turtle food shipment arrived just as I was getting started. I turned the meeting over to S, and got the turtle food. The meeting itself was very good, M and S were both there plus a beginner.
After that I had dinner, and then went to the bedroom and calledmashfanficchick. There was the possibility that we would be going to a game tomorrow but alas no. Probably for the best, I still have things I need to get done before I leave, and I have D&D tomorrow night too.
Played solitaire til pet feeding time, and then I fed the pets, and here I am.
The good news is that cousin Linda Facebook messaged. She isn't going to pick me up at the train station, but she has an errand at the Home Depot in Lockport, so she is going to pick me up at the Lockport Tops supermarket, so I only have to get an Uber that far. Or a regular taxi. That saves me a lot of money, so I am very grateful.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. Linda.
3. My pets.
4. My turtle food came.
5. My meetings and the people there.
6. Vacation soon!
