Snow and solstice!
Dec. 21st, 2024 11:11 pmI got up at 9:30, and breakfasted, had coffee, showered and dressed. Then I opened my bedroom curtains and... snow! Not falling, the sky was briht and blue, but about an inch of snow on the ground.
So I mailed the eight Christmas cards I had ready and took the bus to my Al-anon meeting. I was late, but not awfully badly. The meeting was smaller than the last few weeks, probably because of the snow, but good.
Got a ride to the diner, nine of us went which was very nice. I celebrated the solstice by having pumpkin pancakes which I know aren't very good for me but, as D said, "It's one meal,"
Didn't get a ride home, took an Uber.
When I got here I got on the Starsky and Hutch chat and actually managed to make the last 10 or so minutes of the episode, Little Girl Lost. Then we chatted until well after 8:00. Had a very good time. My Hormel cheese and meat platter from BJ's was delivered while we were chatting.
Then I Skyped the FWiB, and we talked for an hour and a half. So it was after 10 when we finished, and pet feeding time. I fed the pets and had something myself, and then made a fruitless search for the frog stamps I know I have. When I couldn't find them. I called the Kid, because I knew she was likely to have stamps, and asked her, and she does, so I will get two off her on Tuesday.
Now I'm going to do this and then do the last two cards, and go to bed.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. My meetings and the people there.
3. Mailed my cards.
4. The Starsky and Hutch fandom.
5. The solstice is here and days are getting longer again!
6. Got the meat and cheese platter.
