Happy Cinco de Mayo
May. 5th, 2026 10:19 pmI slept late for no particular reason today, got up around 12:00. Then I had breakfast and coffee, and went and showered and dressed.
mashfanficchick called and asked if I would be available to stay with zer and help with Theo for a few days in June, and I said yes. Sounds like fun.
I went to Target in search of cheap bras, or rather, bralettes. I started wearing bralettes after the lumpectomy because they fit better having two different sized breasts. Anyway, I found nice cheap Fruit of the Loom ones, two packs, for only $15.
The only problem was, the two in the two packs were fastened together so I couldn't try them on. But I estimated what size should fit, and bought two sets anyway.
Then I wandered around the store and found something for
mashfanficchick's birthday. So that was good.
I walked down the strip mall, to Petco, and bought a small thing of turtle food. That and the remainder of what I still have should get me through til the repete shipment comes in at the end of the month.
Then I went to Home Goods, but didn't see anything to buy, so I just walked back to the bus stop.
After I got off the bus I walked to J's Confections, and got some bubble tea, taro flavor. Very good. I stayed and drank it there, but I didn't stay long, it's not as cozy as Busy Bee.
So I went home and tried on one of the bralettes. Fortunately it fit well. So I have four new bralettes, which I needed as the old ones were getting worn out.
It was around 5:00 by then so I lay down and rested for an hour, playing solitaire. Then I got on the computer. I decided that since it was Cinco de Mayo I should do something to celebrate in a small way, so for the first time in literally years I ordered dinner on Seamless. I got a steak quesadilla and a bottle of Jarritos soda, tamarind flavor.
The order was delivered remarkably quickly, so I was already done eating (and it was very good, I should say) by the time the FWiB Teamed.
We talked until I had to get off for my Al-anon meeting. It was small, just me and M and S. I told S about the Saturday meeting anniversary on the 16th and he said he'll try to come.
After the meeting I tried to schedule myself for a blood donation tomorrow, but it turns out the new blood center in Forest Hills is closed Wednesdays. So I scheduled for Thursday. It's going to rain tomorrow anyway.
I went to the bedroom and puttered on my phone til pet feeding time. Then I fed the pets and here I am.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. My meetings and the people there.
3. Found nice bralettes cheaply that fit.
4. Bubble tea.
5. Birthday present purchased.
6. Lovely flowers at the mall.
