Another shopping day

Got up at 10:00 and had breakfast and coffee, then showered and dressed. Went to mashfanficchick's place and we went shopping.

First we walked down Austin street to Sweetgreen and had lunch. I had the miso glazed salmon protein bowl, which was very good. Then we went to Bath and Bodyworks, and I got a penguin shaped light up wallflower to use for the Christmas season. It was expensive but so cute, and I don't think I have a Christmas wallflower.

Then we took the bus to the Queens Center Mall, and went to Cold Stone Creamery for ice cream, because I had never been to a Cold Stone and I understood that they were very good. They are very tasty, I got the coffee lovers, coffee ice cream with almonds and caramel included. The flavor is about as good as any good ice cream, and the texture was really nice.

Then we went to Target, where I got some sugar free creamer, and mashfanficchick did some shopping.

Then we took the bus to Costco where ze has just gotten a membership. First though we popped into 5 Below, where I got a pair of Halloween fuzzy pants, just in case I can't find my Halloween stretch pants.

While we were in Costco the Kid texted me. She wanted to know if I was going to the No Kings March on Saturday, which I wasn't planning on doing because of my Al-anon meeting, and I'm supposed to be the speaker that day.

Anyway we shopped for a long time in Costco, and I had several of ther free samples of things.

By the time we left it was after 6:00 so ze walked me to the bus stop for the 88 bus, which I took to Main Street, right at the Golden Lake Pavilion Restaurant, which is the Chinese dim sum place we all went one Christmas, when Oldest Brother could still leave the nursing home in a wheelchair and eat.

So anyway I knew where I was and it was no problem to find the bus stop for the 20 and 44. The 20 got there first so I took that, though I wish it had been the 44 because I would have gotten home faster. But anyway I got home by a little after 7:00, and Teamed the FWiB.

We didn't get a lot of time in, so he said we'd go some more after my Al-anon meeting. S had texted me earlier that he couldn't make it to the meeting, and M never showed up, but some other people did so I ran a meeting and it was very good.

Then I Teamed the FWiB again and we talked for almost an hour. Finally we got off and I read my internet sites til pet feeding time.

I fed the pets, and started here, and here I am. Later I plan to call the Kid again, see if she answers. I have to Zelle her the money for the phone bill.
