Yep, today was one of the special Family days my two chosen sisters (RS and Jan) and I celebrate during the year by getting together and eating ... chicken!
After slithering into bed shortly after midnight after yesterday's grueling adventure, I was shocked to find that I slept the entire night, not waking up until the alarm at 9. Thank the universe for an extended period of healing sleep.
I was expecting my ride at 12:20. Even though it was technically warm, I wore my new coat. I was grateful for that because, while I was sitting in front of the house, it began to rain. Not hard, but enough that I would have needed my brolly. Instead all I did was pull the hood over my head and covering my forehead. Hey, I was perfectly fine and protected. I swear this is one of the best purchases of my life.
When I arrived at the restaurant, Jan was already there, so I ordered a pot of tea, Earl Grey, hot (lol). Then RS showed up. We enjoyed the Thanksgiving special that included a piece of pie and a chocolate. Unfortunately, I was in mostly blind mode and was a very messy eater. Oh, well, my top is going in the laundry anyway. We covered a number of topics in our conversation, even delving into moments of introspection concerning the sad parts of our lives. We were commiserating with RS who'd lost her cat recently. After our lunch, she was off to receive his ashes. After we were done, we went outside to sit and enjoy the sun until RS was picked up first. Then Jan had to take off as she had another engagement all the way across the city. So I continued to sit, getting lots of fresh air, until I was picked up around 4:15. And then I was home and able to relax. So I'm cancelling my intention to order in from Mandarin tomorrow. I have more than enough food in the house that I should begin consuming.
I managed to watch last night's MacGyver, then watched my usual news and game show repeats. And that was the extent of my TV viewing. I needed to relax. So I just played on my computer for a couple of hours. Now I have to go to sleep, but first I need to find something different to wear. Oh, my.
