May. 29th, 2026 09:16 pmLovely day - even though I spent most of it inside, with my back to a window view of skyscrapers climbing against a bright blue sky. It was in the 70sF, started out in the 50sF and slightly warmer than yesterday, with a nice breeze. So I took a walk up towards the cookie place. The cookie people have grown used to me - and tell that they will see me next week. I even know some of their names. There's a lot of turn over as would be expected - customer service is a tough job. You've a lot of down time, and then have to deal with impatient customers, many that don't speak your language. (It's NYC, one gets used to hearing 500 languages a day after a while.)
I'm wearing the new cat shirt that I bought via Amazon - it's not perfect, the green background dye is slightly off, and there's a little fading on one of the cat designs? But other than that - it's fine, and I only really plan on wearing it at home any how.
And per mother's request - I'm hunting trips to Mackinac Island, Michigan and Chicago that we can go on together. If you've done this or know of any, feel free to drop [ETA: positive] suggestions/recs in the comments below.[I only want positive recommendations for Mackinac Island. I decided to take out the bold, and underline Mackinac Island, because the two responses I got were about Michigan. And really really negative on Mackinac Island. I was kind of hoping for the exact opposite?]
Apparently, Mother's sister suggested it - her younger sister lives in Michigan. She didn't provide additional help or advice on the matter.
Making my way through Rivals - finished the first season on Hulu. It's fun, and reminds me a lot of 1980s prime time soap miniseries and shows, such as The Thorn Birds, I'll Take Manhattan, Dynasty, etc. They were fun too. I think there's a bit more to Rivals - mainly because it's a satire, the 1980s shows weren't satires exactly.
Also, gave up on the satiric romance fantasy Long Live Evil by Caitlin Rozakis, again. ( Read more... )
And still reading This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Illona Andrews - which has an entertaining twist. ( Read more... )

1. In an average week, how many nights do you eat home-cooked dinners?
Pretty much every day.
