Normally, I can wait until I've received a text from the local library that tells me that a book I want to read has arrived, and ready for me to pick up. This week, the system broke down, and I was lucky to find out that two books I want to read were ready for me, and would be held for me until the end of the day. So, it was at 4:00 pm that I finally got dressed (as Mario) to go to the library and pick up my books.
Now that I was moving, it was time for me to go to the library for my books. Once done there, I was off to BJ's to check on some things. First, I wanted to replace some reading glasses which had broken over the past few months. Then, I wanted a large box of garbage bags, as my current supply will soon run out. So $100 later, I escaped from BJ's, and back home to change into Marian mode for a Zoom meeting with RQS and my Texas friends.
Around 8:00 pm, I opened up the Zoom meeting and we chatted for almost 2 hours. For a good part of the Zoom call, RQS and I were showing off our Norway photos and monopolizing the chat. But our Texas friends got in their share of the chat as well. I started to feel tired around 10:00 pm, so I signaled that it was time to end the chat for this month, and to schedule something for early next month.
Hopefully, one day in the future, I'll feel safe enough to risk seeing my friends in their area. However, as long as ultra conservatives are in power, I doubt that they will respect my rights as a TG person due to their current political stance.
