Nice day

Started out by getting breakfast at the bagel place, a bacon, egg, and cheese on a roll and coffee, and orange juice. Then I went to my meeting, it was a step and tradition 7 meeting.

Came home and Skyped the FWiB, but not for a long time, because he was very short on sleep and wasn't up to it.

I lay down for a nap in the air conditioning in my bedroom, and mashfanficchick called and asked if I wanted to go out. So we went out to Long Island and ate at Noodles and Company.

Then we went to Barnes and Noble and hung out there. I got a book called The Lost Book of the Grail, by Charlie Lovett, which is sweet and delightful. We sat and read for some hours.

Then when Barnes and Noble closed, we wanted something in the snacky, desserty range, so we went to Witches Brew, which is a wonderful coffee shop, and got some stuff there. It's a little bit pricey but what an atmosphere!

And by then it was after 12:30, so we went home.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. My meetings and the people at them.

3. Air conditioning.

4. Good books.

5. Friends.

6. Bed soon!

Quiet Sunday

Got up a bit earlier than I should have if I wanted a full 8 hours of sleep, but I'm not too tired.

Breakfasted, coffeed, read on the computer. Skyped the FWiB, he's doing ok, got a bit more sleep than usual last night so that's good.

After that I finished reading The Lost Book of the Grail, which really is delightful, if for a somewhat specialized audience.

Then I started doing my disgracefully backlogged stash of dirty dishes. Didn't get them finished, but got most of them.

mashfanficchick called and asked if I wanted to go eat and then shopping, which was of course a yes. So I showered and got ready and we went to Uno for dinner. They have a "Buy one premium item from the list, get a cheaper item from the other list to take home" deal, so I have a dinner for tomorrow.

After that we went to Target and I stocked up on Lean Cuisine and some other stuff I needed, including mandarin oranges.

Came home, fed the cats and turtle, talked to Oldest brother, and now it's time for bed.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

4. Lois McMaster Bujold posted the title of the next Penrick and Desdemona novella.

5. Shopping done.
