No joy from Best Buy
Feb. 17th, 2026 10:40 pmI am writing this on the same computer so hopefully it'll keep working.
I got up at 9:30 this morning, after being woken up by Duane Reade calling to remind me I had prescriptions to pick up, my psychiatric meds. That was at a bit after 9 and I lay in bed awhile then decided to get up.
I had breakfast and coffee. Then I looked into why, when I requested a refill of my cholesterol med on the 10th, I hadn't heard anything about it. I called the office, the refill was still listed as pending and the woman I spoke to said she'd send a reminder to my doctor.
Then I took a shower and washed my hair, and then I called
mashfanficchick about the Best Buy trip. We decided to meet at 2:30 so I puttered online an moved two more things to the external hard drive til 1:30 when I packed up the computer and left.
It's Lunar New Year (Happy New Year to anyone celebrating) so I was expecting it to be very busy and crowded in Flushing, but it wasn't actually. I took the 20 bus to the 48 and then met
mashfanficchick at Dunkin' Donuts. While I was waiting I had a very interesting espresso drink, mocha and raspberry, and a Boston Cream donut. Very tasty.
So when
mashfanficchick got there we did lunch at the Japanese place, their three roll sushi special as usual. Then we heaed to Best Buy by bus.
Got there pretty quick, but as I said, no joy. I didn't buy their protection plan, and I passed the return period in September. So I have to try with HP. I will start looking into that tomorrow.
So after that we went to Aldi, where I got a thing of port wine cheese spread, and then we got fancy tea at Gong Cha.
I had gotten a text from Duane Reade that my other prescription was no ready, and I was of two minds if I should stop on the way home and pick up everything. But it was late, so I just took the bus all the way home. I'm planning on going tomorrow morning. Or early afternoon.
I got home just in time to set up the computer and, with trepidation, try Teaming the FWiB. To our joy, it worked this time.
Then my Al-anon meeting by Zoom, I was very worried about, after the debacles on Saturday and Sunday, but that worked out fine too.
So after that i had a little of the port wine cheese, and went to the bedroom to play solitaire til pet feeding time.
So that was the day.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. The computer worked today.
3. Sushi.
