Lunch with Vicki, but at a different restaurant.

 

Vicki and I had planned to go to Lefteris in Mt. Kisco today.  One problem - there was a sign on the door that said the place was temporarily closed.  So, I ended up trekking to a place that I had never tried before.

But first....

I had awakened early, but didn't start moving until 10 am.  After a quick shower, I put a couple of loads of laundry into the washers, then went to the library presenting as Mario to pick up a book on hold.  Once I had the book, it was back home to put laundry in the dryers and change into Marian Mode.  Once I was made up and dressed, it was time to bring the laundry upstairs and drive to Mt. Kisco.

After paying for parking, I moseyed over to Lefteris to find the restaurant had closed.  So I went to another place that Vicki chose.  The place, The Turk, serves Mediterranean food, and we might have been the only people in the place.  It was nice to be greeted as a female when entering the place, and it was even better to have food that would make me want to visit the place again.  (My advice: Go for the Lentil Soup and the Chicken Kebab.)  Hopefully, we'll go back there soon.  While there, we discussed my healthcare issues, noting that I need to find a new doctor due to his attitudes about fat people. And then we discussed where and when we plan to eat during this year's Hudson Valley Restaurant Week. All too soon, we had to go.  I had to pick up RQS at the station.  After a stop at the supermarket, and at CVS for RQS's flu shot, it was time to go home for the night - where we passed out for a few hours.

Later in the evening, I was chatting online with XGFJ about issues we both share.  Unlike me, she was on a Medicare Advantage program - which got cancelled for 2027.  I'm glad I chose traditional Medicare with a supplement program.  In the end, I find I get better treatment when I can choose which doctors I can visit, and when I can visit them.  I'm lucky I can afford the coverage I have, but our medical system is FUBAR!  One TG doctor I know hates our system more than I, as s/he (I won't say his/her gender here) posted a screed against the very system employing that doctor.  As for me, I'd simply impose "Medicare for All" and be done with it....
