silver_chipmunkto any and all mothers of any type.
I didn't sleep too well last night, don't know why. Got up at 10:00 anyway, and had breakfast and coffee.mashfanficchick called to touch base and we talked awhile. Then I took a shower and washed my hair, and dressed for going to see the Kid.
She called and wished me happy Mother's Day and finally told me where we were eating. A restaurant called Off the Hook. Seafood, mostly.
I went to the Starsky and Hutch creative work session and had a good time chatting, and also got some writing done. I left at 4:00 in order to get to Astoria on time. I stopped at the two discount stores on the way to look for a birthday card for the Kid, and got something.
When I got to the bus stop, I ended up waiting about 15 minutes for the bus, longer than I should have. But I got there on time anyway, even a bit early.
It was just starting to rain when I got off the bus, so I made the decision right then to Uber home.
The restaurant was very good. I had shrimp cocktail, and a warm lobster roll. They were both delicious, as was the Island Punch I had to drink.
After we finished dinner, we walked up a block to an ice cream shop called Ample Hills. I had two scoops of a flavor that I don't remember the name of, but that was coffee and cinnamon. Awfully good.
The rain had pretty much stopped, but I called an Uber anyway, and took that home.
When I got here I Teamed the FWiB. It was close to 7:30 by then, so we were still talking at 8:30 when I had him wait and called Middle Brother. Hes fine, but hasn't done anything interesting. He is looking forward to Memorial Day through.
Talked to the FWiB some more til 9:00, then putter online for a bit. Then went and lay down and played solitaire til pet feeding time.
Fed the pets and started here.
Earlier in the day Pieter started a group chat to wish some of the cousins happy Mother's Day and he included me, so that was nice.
All in all a very nice Mother's Day.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. The Kid. (The best Mother's day gift I ever got... her birthday was two days after Mother's day that year)
3. The Starsky and Hutch fandom.
4. My extended family.
5. Good dinner, and ice cream.
6. Middle Brother is well.
