It didn't help that I'd woken up at 4:45 a.m. (and stayed up), but at least my vision was crisp so I could read for hours. Then, late night, my computer kept defying me - as it has since the dreaded … update. So I just managed to post the subject line. Sigh. But the rest of the day had been spectacular! I'll just pretend the pain after I got home never happened!
I was the first to arrive at the restaurant at 12:30, I got to arrange the tables and chairs, then order a pot of Earl Grey, hot! This place has packets of raw sugar that I really like. I'd already decided not to drink wine I was ve in the morning and not using my walker. Jan was next to arrive, then RS. I surprised them with the tins of cookies. Yay!
After we were stuffed with our appetizers and chicken (with free chicken dinners to take home, too), we started talking about vacations. Completely independently, RS and I had decided we couldn't do the Alaska Cruise. Mind you, now with Coronavid19 being so scary on board a ship, maybe it's just as well we're taking a pass. I mentioned my dream of going to Northern Ontario by train. Then RS mentioned she's going to Niagara Falls on an escorted trip with power loading buses, attendant care, and 4 days in a suites hotel in April. She then said we should all take a vacay together next year when she turns the big four-oh. A longer more complicated trip seems unrealistic, but we thought the Niagara Falls trip would be terrific. Jan and RS could share the bedroom while I would be a happy camper sleeping on ut couch in the living room. I could bring my wheelchair and have someone push me while sightseeing. I'll finally be able to revel in Falls after a couple decades ago (pre blindness). And the bathroom has both a shower AND a huge tub. Can you see me smiling now?
We were picked up around 4 and I was home in mere minutes due to no traffic. My sight had been invigorated by the social activity, so I watched Picard. I also did some editing for the blind group Prez. Anyway, I'm a tired kitty, so off to bed with sweet dreams of travel.
