Busy evening

Work was pretty quiet. I did the gaming program and got 9 kids. That's pretty good.

After work I tried to call the FWiB and found out that the nursing home phone is still not taking incoming calls! So that was that. I had already told him I was going to go to Target, the one in the Bronx on my way home from work, and I would Skype when I got home.

So I went to Target, and got more Christmas presents, but rapidly, and I gpt home pretty quickly and we Skyped.

And then mashfanficchick called me and asked if I wanted to join them for dinner. So since the FWiB doesn't stay up late anyway, so we wouldn't be talking long, I said yes.

They picked me up after we finished, and we went first to BJ's where we got food for the party Saturday. And then we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner.

Came home and now i have to hurry to bed.

Oh, the power was indeed off this morning but only for a few minutes. So nothing resulted except I'm going to have to reset my clock.

Gratitude List

1. The FWiB.

2. More of my present list taken care of.

3. Got a package in the mail today too.

4. Bed soon.

5. The Kid, who called while I was at Buffalo Wild Wings.

6. Plans taking shape.

Good News

The FWiB had his evaluation today and did fine. If all goes well with his Medicare evaluation, he could be out of the nursing home and into assisted living by the New Year. Thanks anyone who said a prayer or thought good thoughts.

So aside from that the day was OK. Work was quiet, I did the laptop program with the teens and got 12, which is a very good number. I got a facebook message from Herschel, and I told him about the FWiB. (I forgot to say I heard from him on Saturday, we had a nice little discussion by facebook messenger)

The phone at the FWiB's nursing home is still out of order, so we couldn't talk after work on my way to Flushing like usual, but we did e-mail.

In Flushing I got a new Metrocard, and then went to my meeting, which was good.

The Kid texted me (I had texted her earlier, and then she wanted to know about presents for Middle Brother, who is always hard to shop for) on my way home.

The sweatshirt I ordered for Aunt Helen arrived.

Only bad thing is Oldest Brother was not able to get the day off for Middle Brother's Christmas party, which is going to be disappointing to them both. And does not bode well for his getting Christmas Eve off, either. All we can do is hope.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB getting out of that nursing home.

2. The Kid.

3. Herschel.

4. Member of the public gave us 4 boxes of chocolates.

5. My meetings and the people there.

6. Things arriving for Christmas.
