Very late

And I got up early this morning, at 8:30. I had breakfast and coffee, showered and dressed, and mashfanficchick's father picked me up.

We went to zer place and picked zer up and then went to zer mother's house so that zer father could see if there was anything there that he wanted to have. That took a couple of hours, and then we left to go get lunch.

Zer father fell on the outside steps, which was upsetting but not serious. Luckily a passing jogger was able to help us get him on his feet again. We got into the car, and continued to lunch.

We ate at the Briarwood cafe, a nice little place. I had a grilled cheese on rye with bacon and a chocolate egg cream.

Then he took us back to the house, and left us and we continued working for a few more hours. Finally we went back to zer place, with a trip first to the grocery store to get some fruit salad. When we got back we had that with cheese and crackers for a small meal/snack.

Then we watched an episode of Rescue: Hi-surf. After that we hung out doing nothing much for awhile, and finally I SKyped the FWiB from my phone, though I got off at 8:30 to call Middle Brother. He is doing fine, was watching the Garfield Movie on TV.

I Skyped the FWiB for awhile longer, and then we had dinner, and watched two more episodes of Rescue: Hi-surf. I don't love it like 911, or even Dr. Odyssey, but the setting is lovely, and I'm getting caught up in it.

By the time the episodes were over, it was very late so I Ubered home, fed the pets, and here I am. I texted the Kid, she thinks she did OK on her job interview today. And now I really must get to bed.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

Busy day

Got to bed at about 3:00 last night so I slept very late indeed, and I don't regret it. Got up around 1:00 and had breakfast and coffee. I used up the last of my milk so I don't know what I'll do tomorrow, except maybe use the half-and-half I got for the vanilla lavender coffee for my cereal. Ohhh, decadent!

Anyway, I had the first of the vanilla lavender coffee today, with half-and-half and a little stevia instead of sugar, and it was pretty good. Very lightly flavored, but I liked it.

After breakfast I showered and dressed, and went down to the laundromat to pick up my laundry. I came back, put the cart away and the laundry bag in my bedroom, and rested for about 15 minutes.

Then I went to the nursing home to visit Oldest Brother. He was pretty good, no coughing, and mentally about the same. I stayed for about 45 minutes or so, then came home and got my Al-anon books, and rested for about 15 minutes, then went to the bus stop to go to my Al-anon meeting.

There was a bus almost immediately, which was nice. I went and had pizza first, as usual.

The meeting was very small, but good. C drove me to the bus stop.

I got the bus home and Skyped the FWiB. I read that Microsoft is going to discontinue Skype starting in May. I don't know what we'll do, but I'm thinking Whatsapp. Anyone have an opinion/suggestion?

Fed the pets and started here. That's about all.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. My meetings and the people there.

3. Got my pension payment.

4. Oldest Brother well.

5. Text from the Kid.

6. Bed soon.
