I wasn't originally in the mood to meet a couple of RQS's friends. Not because I was against meeting them, but because the two of us would have to wake up early on a Saturday to do so.

Getting up early is not something RQS and I do on weekends. As I write this at 9:15 am, I've been out of bed for 30 minutes and RQS is still sawing wood. I expect that the lumber mill will be running for another hour or so. (But I still could be wrong.) So, we wouldn't have as much energy as many people do when starting the day.
After getting showered and dressed, we drove down to Yonkers to the Irish Coffee Shop for brunch with her friends. The conversation flowed like water, and it allowed all of us to be open about things we might keep to ourselves under other circumstances (e.g. the presence of a parent who has strongly different political views.) Given one of her friends' career choices was to help the transgender community, I decided to out myself, and was met with open arms.
All too soon, brunch had to end. We promised to meet again, then RQS and I went to Stew Leonard's for food shopping. $100 later, we were out the door and on our way home for the day. Although we planned to go out again, we were in for the night.
