A better day

Things went well at work, did the laptop program with the teens and all went well. Got a text from mashfanficchick to call after work so I did and was reminded this is her birthday and did i want to go out for ice cream after my meeting? Of course yes.

The FWiB called, still fatigued but not as bad as yesterday, we had a longer talk on my way to my meeting. Still not as long as normal, though. I worry about him but I guess this is normal for chemo.

Went to my meeting, it was just me and M again. Butt we carried on. Afterward, she drove me home and while I waited for mashfanficchik to call I fed the cats and made my nightly call to Oldest Brother (yes I call him every night, I just usually don't bother mentioning it).

We went out to an ice cream parlor, Eddie's Sweet Shop, with her mother and her friend and lodger at her mother's, Robin, who I have finally gotten to meet. By weird coincidence, many years ago Robin was The Kid's favorite summer camp counselor. Turns out she was a long time friend of mashfanficchick, and now she's renting a room from her mother. Small world.

Anyway, after a delicious banana split, they brought me home and now it's time for bed.

Edited to add: I forgot to say: IT'S WORLD TURTLE DAY!

STEM program today

And I'm exhausted from it. We made Oobleck from cornstarch and water and I talked to them about non-Newtonian fluids and colloidal suspensions. I ended up well dusted in cornstarch and with my hands and nails stained from food coloring, but the kids had a good time. I had to do it by myself because the person who usually helps me do the STEM programs had to go home early due to a sudden and unexpected death in her family.

After work the FWiB called, and then I went out with mashfanficchick and her mother and Robin again. We did Uno for dinner, I only ate half mine, have to other half in the fridge, and Carvel, and then some shopping at BJs. Needless to say I got cat litter there.

And that was the day. Bed time now, I have to get up early.

Gratitude List:

1. Friends.

2. The FWiB.

5. Didn't rain.

6. STEM worked out OK.
