silver_chipmunkI got up this morning at 9:00 and had breakfast and coffee. Then I showered and dressed, in one of my thermal shirts with my warm sweater, instead of my usual tee shirt with sweater. Because it is cold out! Very, very cold.
So I headed toward my meeting, and got lucky that a bus was there almost immediately so I didn't have to wait in the chill.
The meeting was very good, and afterward we went to the diner as usual. I got a ride from S as usual.
Going home, again I got lucky and didn't have to wait long for a bus. I got off at Northern Blvd to transfer to the 12, an noticed that there's a CVS where the Party City used to be, across the street. So I went over and bought Valentines for the Kid, and Middle Brother. There was such a small section of Valentines that I was startled. I'm used to huge sections of Valentines, with cards for every member of your family. But there were precious few daughter cards, and none for brother, so I had to make do with a generic one. At least I found a reasonable one for the Kid.
Anyway, I paid and went to the bus top, just missed a 12, but one came in about 8 minutes after so I was OK.
Got off at Parsons and had to walk from there as usual, it was unpleasant. Very windy. Very, very cold.
Got home safely, and put in a Shipt order from my phone while logging in to the computer to go to the Starsky and Hutch chat. The chat was, as always, lots of fun. The Shipt order this time was complete.
We talked until a little after 7:00. Then I Teamed the FWiB. Fun as always.
*sigh* I learned today about Leon Botstein's involvement with Epstein. it was a horrible shock to me, I felt heart sick. As the president of my alma mater, he was an integral part of my college years, which were, arguably the best years of my life. I could go on for pages about what Bard meant to me, but I won't. Suffice it to say, I feel like I've been poisoned. And worried about the future of Bard now this has come out. Leon couldn't go on being president too much longer anyway, it's been 50 years, and he's old now, but what will happen to Bard when he's gone?
Enough of that. I just finished dinner, made out the Valentines, addressed and stamped them, and fed the pets. I calledmashfanficchick to see if ze was doing anything for the Superbowl tomorrow, ze's not. And after I finish here I shall go to bed.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. Stayed warm most of the day.
3. Four years at Bard.
4. My meetings and the people there.
5. The Starsky and Hutch fandom.
6. Valentines Day stuff.
