Rainy Saturday
Oct. 11th, 2025 10:32 pmGot up at 9:00 and had breakfast and coffee, showered and dressed, and headed to my Al-anon meeting.
It was raining when I left, luckily I had brought my umbrella with me. I should have worn my rain boots, but I didn't, just my sneakers. However, the rain never got bad enough that they got soaked.
Anyway, I made it to my meeting on time, early even. It was smaller than usual probably because of the weather and the holiday Monday. But it was very good.
Went to the diner afterward, driven as usual by S. I had a bacon, egg, and cheese on an English muffin for a change, and iced coffee. The diner was all decked in Halloween finery. Very cheerful and nice.
By the time we finished, the rain had stopped, so I didn't get wet taking the bus home.
When I got home I got on the computer and went to the Starsky and Hutch chat. It was fun as always. It ended a bit earlier than usual, though, at around 5:30.
I checked the mail and the check from the Virginia Lottery people for the money I won on the raffle basket lottery tickets had arrived! Also my official Voter information packet with my Fast Pass Tag. But the check was the big thing. I deposited it via my phone, and that's $60 to the good.
At 7:00 I Teamed the FWiB, and we talked until 8:30, which was very nice. Then I had a snack and went to the bedroom to call![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
mashfanficchick. We talked only a brief while as ze was in the city with Mandy. We will possibly get together tomorrow, possibly not.
After that I played solitaire until pet feeding time. Then I fed the pets, and started here, after reading an article the FWiB sent me from the NY Times about scientists tracking the history of human diseases through dna in ancient skeletons.
Now I shall go to bed and read.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. My meetings and the people there.
3. The rain stopped.
4. The $60 came so fast!
5. The Starsky and hutch chat.
6. My cat.
