silver_chipmunkThis morning I did my first Instacart order of the year. I had trouble figuring out how actually to place the order, but it eventually got sent. I accidentally ordered from Wegman's instead of Tops, farther away and more expensive.
Then I had breakfast and coffee, and then I showered and dressed... and Instacart said my order was canceled! I have no idea what happened or how. But it said I could reorder, so I did the same cart, and ordered again. This time no problem, and the guy got here earlier than they said, so I was happy.
Then I walked up to the head of the road, and on the way back detoured to the pond. Nothing much to see but a large rabbit who hopped off when I approached.
Linda told me that Sue was heading down to the beach and she was going too, so when I got back to the cottage I changed into my bathing suit and went down. Met Linda on the way, and Sue was already there.
Big change from yesterday, when the lake was crystal clear and weedless, today the water was brown and very weedy. We sat on the shore and talked, and then Linda went up. Sue took her tube out to float, and I walked out up to my neck and just stood in the cool.
Finally we came in and went up. I got changed and had something to eat, and microwaved some popcorn that I bought in the Instacart today.
I finished reading the Agatha Christie I was working on, They Came to Baghdad, and I've started a Patricia McKillip, The Bards of Bone Plain.
At 7:00 I Teamed the FWiB, and then at 8:00 I had my Al-anon meeting by Zoom. That was pretty good, S was there but not M so I hope she's OK. After the meeting, I quickly put on my sandals and walked down to the bench on the bank where Linda and Betsy were watching the sunset. It had set so I didn't figure I needed my sunglasses! We sat and talked awhile, then went back. The sky was gorgeous, I took a couple of pictures.
Anyway, got back to my cottage and had my glass of mead. Then made dinner and ate. Just as I finished, the phone rang and it wasmashfanficchick so we had a nice talk.
And after that I puttered on my phone awhile, then got up and started here.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. Instacart.
3. Got stuff for my sunburn.
4. Family.
5. Beautiful post-sunset.
6. My meetings and the people there.
