silver_chipmunkI got up at 12:00, and have finally caught up on the sleep I missed when Marja was here. Had breakfast and coffee, and puttered around online for awhile.
Eventually I decided I should do something today, so I decided on the Queens Botanical Gardens. I showered, and washed my hair, and got dressed.
I started walking to the bus, when it suddenly hit me... It's Monday, isn't the Botanical Garden cosed on Monday? So I checked, using my phone, and sure enough, closed til 8:00 am Tuesday. Grumble.
But I had banking to do in Flushing, and I decided to get my face waxed, which it needed, so I went to the bus stop anyway. Took the 20 in, took care of my banking (I had a $50 bill I wanted to deposit and then withdraw in smaller denominations), and then went and got my face waxed.
I think she did a better job than any other time I've gone, and it cost me a bit more too. But so it goes.
I came home and decided I still wanted to do something. So I collected the book I'm reading, The King's Peace, and went to The Busy Bee coffee shop. I had an egg sandwich, very good, and a lavender cream latte. Then I sat an read for about 45 minutes. They close at 6:00 and it was just before closing time when I left.
Came home and puttered online. Actually got a little it of writing done, and then it was time to Team the FWiB.
We talked for close to an hour and a half, and then got off.mashfanficchick called, and we had a brief conversation to plan upcoming days.
Then I went into the bedroom and played solitaire. I also called the Kid, of course she didn't answer. It really is starting to annoy me. Anyway I texted her to please call.
Fed the pets at pet feeding time. Then I took a picture of the doctor's order for my DEXA scan on Thursday and sent it to the lab.mashfanficchick called again. I'm still waiting for the Kid to call.
And that's the day.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. Caught up on sleep.
3. Got my face waxed.
4, The Busy Bee.
5. Good books.
