I dropped RQS off at the station today for her trip home. She'll have 3 days to run her errands (and me the same) before she returns here this weekend.

There are only so many current events videos I can watch before getting sick thinking of the Orange Monster and what he's doing to this country. So, I limit my consumption of political news. I wish I could filter out the damage the monster is doing to this world, so that I could focus on everyday events that occur in the NYC region (fires, building collapses, murders, subway derailments and other disasters that affect a small number of people in my region.) To contrast a NYC view of things vs. the rest of the world's views, I suggest looking at a case of suicide via subway train during rush hour. To outsiders, we'd be mourning the tragic loss of a human life. To New Yorkers, we're getting pissed off that some jerk has screwed up thousands of commutes at the worst possible time - if the person wanted to off himself, the least he could have done is to wait until after rush hour AND have the good taste do it where it wouldn't affect anyone's commute. (One needs a certain sense of callousness to live in this city.)
I got up around 8 am, and let RQS sleep until 10:30 am. Around noon, I started getting showered and dressed, so that RQS could make a 1:30 pm train. Although I was thinking of doing a couple of loads of laundry today, I decided to make a run over to Target and pick up a few things I'd need over time. Sadly, the route that I'd normally take home was closed off to me (and to all) as the failure of a bridge over the nearby railroad tracks prevented me from taking my usual route home.
Arriving home, I decided to contact a friend and schedule a lunch get-together. Although her schedule was a little tight, we found a convenient lunch date, and scheduled something for this week. And then, I decided to rest for the remainder of the day, giving up any plans to go out again. So, off with the makeup and outside clothes, and on with my jammies, and I could go to bed any time I want.

Tomorrow will be a "Fat Tuesday" meetup, and I hope all goes right. I think I'll wear a nice dress for the evening, and get some use out of it this season.
