Royce's Random Thoughts

Got up and had breakfast and coffee, then hung out for awhile until Dani suggested going to the Japanese market for awhile with Winnie.

So I got dressed and that's what we did. The ramen place was closed until 4:00, but the sushi place was open, so we had sushi for lunch. We went to the Japanese grocery first to get drinks. It was very tasty.

After that we went to the gift type shop. I looked around for something I could get as a souvenir for the Kid, but didn't see anything.

Then we went to the Japanese bakery and I got a mocha mousse. Delicious.

Then we came back to the house and more or less just hung out for the rest of the day. Dani did a craft with the kids while I Teamed the FWiB. Then at 8:30 I called Middle Brother. He's fine, had a music thing yesterday, and looking forward to McDonald's tomorrow.

Dani was supposed to take me to see the FWiB tomorrow but he had to cancel, and hopefully reschedule for Saturday (the day after tomorrow).

The Kid texted me about the NYC Mayoral debate which was tonight. My union is backing Mamdami.

I sat for an hour with Theo, watching him use the computer.

RK facebook messaged Dani with pictures of Oreo cause he fed him tonight.

I got up at 9:00 today because John needed the office (where I'm sleeping) for an online meeting at 9:30. I took my meds, picked out my clothing, and came downstairs for breakfast and coffee.

I showered, and washed my hair which needed it, and dressed. Hung out for awhile, doing not much. mashfanficchick's plane flight was delayed, and delayed, and delayed.

Ze and I took Winnie to the local library. After awhile, Theo joined us and Winnie, mashfanficchick, and I went to get lunch. We got chicken teriyaki from a Teriyaki Express down the street. Winnie and I sat outside and ate, and mashfanficchick went back to the house with Theo and his friend Uriah, because ze had cancelled zer flight and resceduled for tomorrow because it was so delayed.

I stayed with Winnie. She played and I read Hercule Poirot stories. Eventually Dani and mashfanficchick picked us up, and we went into the main part of Columbus to the main branch of the library. It's pretty impressive.

We hung around there looking it over for several hours, then left and went to eat at Dirty Frank's Hot Dog Palace. I had two corn dogs with cheese sauce.

Then we went to a fountain that children can play in, and let Winnie do that for about an hour and a half. By then I had already canceled my meeting for tonight, so I wasn't worried about the time.

After the fountain, we came back to the house, and sat on the porch for a short time, then we all came in and I Teamed the FWiB.

It was latish by then so only for about an hour, and then I started here. And here I am.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. The libraries.

3. My friends.

4. Fountains were running.

5. Beautiful weather.

6. Hot dogs.

Edited to add: I got confused. It was Theo who came to the library with us first and Winnie who joined us later.

I slept late this morning, coming downstairs abou 11:15. Then I had breakfast and coffee, and didn't do very much for a long time.

I played a game called Cat Tails: Wildwood with Winnie, and I sat with mashfanficchick with Theo, and I read in my book.

Eventually around 6:30 we decided to bathe Moose, which requires going to a pet store with dog washing stations.

So Dani, mashfanficchick, and I packed Moose and Theo inthe car and took off. Dani and mashfanficchick bathed Moose while I followed Theo around. We went into the room with the adoptable cats, and played with them for awhile.

Finally they were done giving Moose his bath, and and we got him a treat and we left. Theo got a little cranky.

Got back and had dinner with mashfanficchick, then Teamed the FWiB.

And now I'm doing this.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.
