I haven't seen my friend Vicki #2 in a while, so it was nice to get together with her again. Vicki's spouse is living with cancer, but has no quality of life. So Vicki has to arrange her life to take care of her spouse until the home healthcare aide arrives for an 8 pm to 8 am shift.

It's important that key details of Vicki's life be kept private. So I'll avoid going into fine detail here. Like any caregiver spouse who tends for a permanently disabled spouse, Vicki's life is not her own these days. So, when I contacted her before New Year, she suggested tonight for dinner. But she made sure that we would meet when she knew that she'd be free. Each time we've met lately, she feels grateful that I'm making the effort to reach out. She has too much on her plate these days.
Vicki knows that I am TG, and has met me in both gender presentations. However, most of the time, I meet her in a feminine presentation. And this is how I dressed when I met her tonight at The Cube Inn, a small restaurant/bar in the heart of Tarrytown, NY. This is not one of my favorite places to eat dinner. But it is a nice place to go for a quiet drink with a friend or two. I was lucky that we scheduled our get together for 8:45, as I wouldn't have been able to order a burger before the kitchen closed. Thankfully, we could drink (if we wanted) until the cows came home.
We had a leisurely chat over a couple of drinks and some food, and all too soon it was time to go. RQS and I have an invitation to drop by when Vicki is home. So, who knows, we will be over someday soon....
