It's not actually my birthday

But I celebrated it today.

Started out with breakfast and coffee and showering and dressing and heading to my Al-anon meeting. It was small but good.

The S and G and I went to a different diner for lunch. I got French onion soup, whihc was good but not as good as the other diner. Then I went home via the 12 bus to Parsons Blvd. It was a nice springlike day.

Got home and went to the Starsky and Hutch episode watch and chat. I actually got to see a part of the episode, The Collector. Then we chatted until I left at 5:15.

I got ready to go meet the Kid and her boyfriend and mashfanficchick at Applebees in Astoria. That meant taking the 66 bus.

The bus was running with delays for some reason, and I waited about half an hour for it to show up. I was afraid I would be late meeting the Kid, but I got there right on time, and just as she and her boyfriend were arriving. (mashfanficchick had called me and said ze would be late). They had a big bouquet of flowers for me.

We got seated and ordered drinks. When mashfanficchick texted to say ze would be there in 15 minutes we ordered food (Ze had texted me zer order)

The food was excellent, and the Kid only a little annoying with her lecturing me about my weight and finances. I know she only does it cause she loves me.

I got dessert, and then we left. I took the 66 home again, only had to wait 7 minutes this time.

I got home around 10:00, and fed the pets and put the flowers in a vase. I Teamed the FWiB and we talked for a little less than an hour.

Then I frantically played solitaire cause I had an event that was ending at 12:00. I finished with literally one minute to spare!

And now it's time for bed.
