Judy Collins!

Was a little late to work but only about 10 minutes so better.

About halfway through my break, mashfanficchick called me and asked if I wanted to go to a Judy Collins concert tonight. Seems that ze was supposed to go with zer father and step-mother, but zer step-mother tested positive for Covid. So ze had the tickets and did I want to go with zer? Hell yes!

So after work I went to 20th Avenue and ze and zer mother met me there, and we drove to Port Washington and got some dinner from a Middle Eastern shish kebab place, then zer mother dropped us off at the concert. We had wonderful seats, front row balcony.

It was great, and I had a wonderful time.

Afterward zer father's friends that we sat with drove us home.

I fed the turtle and she ate some, though again not a full meal. We are taking her to the vet tomorrow though and at least she is eating some.

I Skyped the FWiB and we talked for almost an hour which is why I'm posting so late.

I called Oldest Brother twice, and told him it would be too late to call him a third time, so that's OK> And the Kid called me so I talked to her.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

3. Judy Collins!

4. My friends.

5. The Kid had a good day.

6. I had my umbrella when it was raining badly.

Turtle to the vet

Got up a bit later than I should have, but was ready in time anyway. mashfanficchick and zer mother picked me and the turtle up and we went into Manhattan to the vet. We got there early enough that we had coffee first from Starbucks.

The vet examined Christie and said she looks better. He said I should get a better UV bulb, they sell them there, and if she wasn't back to normal in two weeks, bring her back for more tests. She is eating now, just not normally, so I have hope that she'll gradually improve over the two weeks and I won't have to bring her in.

After that we got food from a pizza place, I got two slices of white mushroom pizza. It was delicious. Then we came back to Queens and I took Christie in and installed the new bulb and returned her to her tank.

Then we went shopping. First to Target, where I got some things for Middle Brother, and a pair of penguin socks for me. Then we went to T J Maxx where I got a pair of shoes which I needed because my sneakers are wearing out and I can't wear them all winter anyway. I also got something for mashfanficchick's mother. Finally we went to BJ's and did food shopping. I got some stuff, which I needed.

By then it was latish so they brought me home and I called Oldest Brother for the second time and then Skyped the FWiB.

After that I puttered on the computer and then went and lay down till it was time to call Middle Brother. He is fine, went out somewhere yesterday. I put in a Shipt order which will be delivered tomorrow morning. And I played solitaire till it was time to call Oldest Brother for the third time. Then I called the Kid, and told her what the vet said.

I played more solitaire, and read a little till it was time for pet feeding. The turtle ate a little, not much. But that's three times today she's eaten a little.

Tomorrow is my second floating holiday. I'm going over to mashfanficchick's place and helping zer out with some stuff.
