Before I went to RQS, I had things I wanted to do: Clean up some of the mess in my apartment and do some Laundry. Well, I got to the first task, but not to the second task.
But first....

I woke up with the alarm, and realized that I had to clean up some of the clutter in my place. There was a lot of clean laundry which had to be put into my closets and my drawers. So this was the first task I tackled. For the most part, my clothes were put away, and I was left with a single basket of stuff which required special handling. (Towels to the linen closet, sheets to a drawer, and other items to be put in proper spaces.) And then, I continued debugging a spreadsheet I developed to compute estimated cruise pricing, given expected purchases of items not included in the fares.
Once finished with all of this, I packed a suitcase with the stuff I'd need over the weekend (as Marian), and got ready to trek into NYC. I barely made a local to GCT, and then had to transfer to the subway. As usual, I made the mistake of transferring to a Brooklyn/Queens bound line at a station where the elevators weren't working. But, once I lugged my bag up and down some stairs, I had a seat for the rest of my trip to RQS's place.

Although I have keys to RQS's house, I had a problem - for some reason, I couldn't get them to work. (I also couldn't get them far enough out of my bag to use them properly.) So, I had to buzz RQS to let me in. Once my bags were dropped off, we were off for some Thai food at a nearby place. I had my usual - Drunken Noodles with Crispy Duck, a dish I could have more of any day. But then, I love duck. It may not be as much as in Daffy Duck and the Dinosaur, but enough that I rarely turn down the opportunity to have this bird for dinner.

It's nice to have a girlfriend/partner who seems to accept the idea that I prefer to present as Marian as much as possible. The other day, she mentioned an area in Jersey City we may consider moving to, a place where I can ditch much of Mario's wardrobe and live as Marian 99% of the time. When I mention IF we get married (there are financial negatives for us to do so), we'd both be shopping for (and wearing) wedding dresses. That's something to look forward to!
