Busy Saturday
Mar. 14th, 2026 10:40 pmGot up late but made it to my Al-anon meeting on time anyway. Ate breakfast and had coffee and showered, then took the bus there an got there a few minutes early! L had brought home made Irish soda bread and butter. Marvelous.
After the meeting went with S and G as usual to the diner. Had my usual bacon, egg, and cheese on a toasted English muffin. Nothing but ice water to drink but I dropped a lemon slice in it.
Took the bus home, the 13 to the 12 to Parsons Blvd and walked from there.
Got into the Starsky and Hutch chat, and had a very good time there. My story A Twice-told Tale got complimented.
We talked til after 7:00 so I was late in Teaming the FWiB but we had a nice time. Talked a little over an hour.
mashficchick called while we were Teaming, about the upcoming days.
During our conversation is was suddenly and horribly reminded that my non-drivers ID expires on my birthday and I need to go to DMV to upgrade it to an Enhanced ID. So after I got off the Teams with the FWiB I got on the computer to DMV and found to my dismay that the closest place I can get an appointment this month is Springfield Gardens. I made an appointment for the 18th, at 3:00.
Then I started digging out the ID I need for the enhanced ID. THe non-drivers ID is easy, also my passport, And fortunately I still have, carefully preserved, my original social security card. But proof of address was difficult as all my bills and bank statements come by email. I finally, after much digging, came up with my original lease and the most recent renewal.
So then it was pet feeding time so I fed the pets and started here.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. I made it to my meeting on time.
3. My meetings and the people there.
4. The Starsky and Hutch fandom.
5. Was able to get an appointment with DMV before my birthday.
6. Was able to find the lease.
