Saturday. The last day I had to get ready for the upcoming cruise. Was I ready? No. But some things have to be prioritized, and others have to be dropped from the schedule. And yet, I had last minute complications....
When I woke up, I found that a file had gotten corrupted on my computer. Unfortunately, this file made it possible for me to restart my email client. After looking around on the internet for a solution, I was of the mind to delete everything in the "Program Files" folder related to Thunderbird, and reinstall from scratch. One problem - some files just didn't want to be deleted, even with me in administrator mode. So, I renamed the folder, and reinstalled everything. After a couple of tries, I was able to restore the program and was lucky to have the bulk of my old emails.
RQS didn't get moving until 11 am or so. (I had awakened earlier, and finished fixing my computer problem before going into the living room to chill.) Neither of us were in the mood to start getting ready to go out until 12:30, but this would mean that we wouldn't be going to the movies later on. By the time we got out the door, I ended up changing my dress because it was too warm to wear the heavy dress I had first put on. (It would have been perfect after the sun had set, but this was yet the daytime.) And then we were off to the nail salon for our mani-pedis.
Both of us were starting to get hungry, but our next stop was Micro Center. I needed to buy a new cell phone charger and RQS needed to buy a cruise safe power outlet. Sadly, RQS could not find what she wanted in Micro Center (or in Best Buy later on). By the time we left Micro Center, we were both very hungry. I was getting weak due to low sugar level (I had much less than usual to eat) and needed to eat something soon. So off to the one Arby's I knew of in Westchester.
I'm not sure of how many of my readers have eaten at Arby's, but i remembered their Roast Beef as being very tasty. Their Yonkers outlet was very small, and designed for take-out customers. It took a few minutes for us to get our food, as only two people were manning the store - both doing food preparation duties when not at the cash register. Although the sandwich was tasty, it did not fit my memories of the place. Yet, I might go there again if I have a craving for a roast beef sandwich.
Once done with food, we returned home (with a stop for ice cream), By the time we neared home, I was glad to be wearing leggings under my dress. Hopefully, I won't return to weather colder than this when our ship comes back from Bermuda.
