silver_chipmunkI slept really badly last night but I managed to get up by almost 9:00, and have breakfast and coffee, and shower and dress, and head to my union's retiree association meeting.
It was very easy to get to, just the bus to Flushing and the 7 train from there. Then a few blocks walk. I thought I was going to be late, but I got there just on time. And the meeting started late anyway.
There was a breakfast, pastries and bagels and fruit. I had a mini muffin and a croissant, and coffee. The meeting was pretty interesting, they talked about benefits and programs available to us. some I may use later.
Lunch was served at the end, sandwiches, and I had tuna.
Then I went back home. I lay down and was going to have a nap but I got into a long, somewhat heated discussion, or argument, with the Kid by text. I think we resolved it though, and ended on cheerful terms.
At 6:30 I came back out and puttered on the computer til it was time to Team the FWiB at 7:00. We talked until it was time for me to have my Al-anon meeting by Zoom.
The meeting was pretty good. M and S were both there plus some other people dropped in.
After the meeting I had a snack, then went to the bedroom again and played solitaire, and also checked my repeat delivery of turtle food from Petco. I am low, and the next order doesn't come for a month. I just can't seem to get it right.
Anyway, at pet feeding time I fed the pets, and started here.
And that was the day.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. My union.
3. The Kid.
4. My meetings and the people there.
5. My pets.
6. Bed soon.
