After the morning routine, Lee called on his way to work and confirmed that lunch would be possible today. Asked what I had in mind for lunch, I had just read about the Tangerine House of Kabob in the paper. Thought we might meet there. That worked for him, and he said he would let me know whether 12 or 12:30 would be best for him -- had to get to school and see what is scheduled for the day.
With that settled, I went out to attack those weeds in the front beds. Set my alarm so I would not stay out more than an hour. The alarm did not go off -- I had filled up the bucket very full with the weeds I pulled, so I took everything to the back, emptied the bucket, put up the tools and the scooter. Then the alarm went off.
Needless to say, a shower was very much in order, and by the time I got shaved and dressed, it was time to head out to meet Lee. Boy, you can't miss the Tangerine -- that is the color of the walls of the building! What we did miss was where to park. Only found out after we went in that we could have parked on the west side of the building (we went own the alley on the east side, and found a small lot to park), and the luncheon buffet was upstairs. The food was ample and very tasty. All Persian food, obviously prepared by good Persian cooks. I was facing the TV on the wall were we sat, and it was on the Persian channel -- everything was in Persian, including the English commercials. We definitely ate our fill.
We talked of many things -- mostly just friends staying in touch. Lee asked what I was going to be doing for the afternoon, and I told him I had figured out how to handle Margaret's accounts in the new software, so that when we close those accounts, I will have a double check that we got everything transferred properly.
The rest of the day was pretty laid back. I did not try to do a lot -- read the mail, checked email. Debbie called -- she had said if she had a break she would call. I missed her call, and took her at her word that she would call back later. Got a really sweet note from Betsy (across the street). She wanted me to know how much she missed Margaret and wanted to tell me when we were talking, but didn't think she could with crying and she didn't was to "put that on me". The sympathy cards and notes keep coming in. Marcia called and said she would be sending her flight schedule, but that she had gotten the first weekend in June approved for time off. If the flights work out, she will come for a Fri - Sun weekend! Yea!!
Got a little snack during the news and decided to do some reading. Got stuck in a story that just kept on going. Took a while to find a stopping place. Really a laid back day -- did some yard work, had a great lunch with a great guy, got the software in good shape, and curled up with a good book.
Tomorrow is 2 doctor appointments and a meeting with William F. concerning some possible business ideas for the company. And I have to start the day with a call to Susan to get my access to MyBlock reinstated!
