silver_chipmunkGot up at 10:00 and had breakfast and coffee. Then I showered and dressed and went out to Flushing.
While on the 20 bus I got a phone call frommashfanficchick. That was nice.
Then I got to Flushing. My goal was to buy some inexpensive but nice things to use as raffle prizes at the Al-anon anniversary on Saturday. I decided to go to Marshalls and see what they had.
So that's what I did. I went to the Skyview Mall and went to Mashalls. I ended up getting three things, a mug, a picture frame, and some bag clips in the shape of cats. A little bit more expensive than I planned but not much.
Then I walked back to the center of Flushing, and stopped to get a pork bun at one of the small shops. I was going to eat it there, but decided to take it home instead. Then I went to Duane Reade for wrapping paper and a small gift bag for the mug.
The escalator was out of order again, so I had to use the elevator (there's no stairs) which is kinda creepy, but no problem. I got my stuff and paid.
Then I went back to the bus stop, stopping at the bank to take out money. I took the bus home, collected my mail from my box and came in.
Some good news in the mail, if I understand the paperwork correctly, my DEXA scan has been paid for by the insurance. If you recall, there was some possible doubt that it would be.
Then I ate my pork bun, which is delicious, but messy. Then I went to the bedroom and lay down. First I played solitaire, then I started reading The King's Peace. I'm almost done now.
At 6ish I came out and got back on the computer and at 7:00 I Teamed the FWiB. We talked til my Al-anon meeting at 8:00.
The meeting was quite good, though M didn't come. S was there though.
After the meeting I had dinner, then went to the bedroom again where I played more solitaire until pet feeding time.
Then I fed the pets and started here. Low key but pleasant day.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. Got my shopping done.
3. Delicious pork bun.
4. My meetings and the people there.
5. Good books.
6. Nice day.
