silver_chipmunkGot up at 11:30 and had breakfast and coffee, then showered and dressed. Then took the 44 bus to Flushing to go to the bank and then to Duane Reade.
I went to the bank first and deposited the check I got Saturday from Oldest Brother's nursing home. Last night I tried to deposit it by my phone, and for some reason it wouldn't work. Just kept saying that part of it couldn't be read. So I was worried that there might be issues with an ATM deposit too, but there weren't. It went in fine.
Then I went to Duane Reade to get the candy for Middle Brother's Easter basket. And Duane Reade was closed again! That's weird.
So I just came back home and did a Shipt order and ordered the candy from Target. No problem. I also got a few things I needed so that was good. I spent the time while I was waiting doing some writing on the story.
I found a box that fits the Easter basket and the copy of Horton Hatches the Egg that I got Middle Brother. And I found an unopened roll of shipping tape to seal up the box, so tomorrow I assemble the basket and take everything to the post office.
After the Shipt was delivered, I took the remaining recycling out. Two loads, and walked around the block each time. The weather was beautiful, almost 70 degrees (F that is) and sunny, with a nice breeze.
Then I puttered on line until 7:00 when I Teamed the FWiB. We talked for a little over an hour and a half, and that was fun.
Then I had dinner, and went to the bedroom. I called the Kid, no answer, so I texted her and asked her to call me. Then I calledmashfanficchick and we talked a bit.
The Kid texted back so I gave in and asked her about the money from the nursing home and she agreed I should put it towards his cremation. So I got on the credit card account and made a payment. $720. Easy come, easy go.
Then something weird happened. The FWiB accidentally Teamed me again. I took it on my phone, but he didn't notice so I hung up and called his cell phone and explained what happened. We spoke a few minutes. It was nice.
Then it was pet feeding time so I did that, and here I am.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. The check deposited.
3. Shipt,
4. Beautiful weather.
5. Got some writing done.
6. My cold is just about gone.
