As usual, I didn't do a thing all day - until evening came. And then, I became active. If the world started to wake up to get most activity done at night, I'd be in perfect sync with the world. But the world revolves around its axis, and not mine....
I was awake a little earlier than usual, but stayed inside my apartment until I had to get ready for dinner with my friend from the meetup group. When I left the house, it smelled like there was a fire nearby. It's hard to believe that forest fires in Canada are causing the air pollution we're having in the Northeast lately. It's even harder to believe that the particulates are enough for us to need to wear our masks again. But that day is here.
Reaching my friend, it took us a while to order dinner. And then we discussed her wishes to change careers. I'm not sure if she's going to make it, as she has a speech pattern that belies a slower intelligence for many people. But who am I to say? It was a good conversation, and I think I was able to help her. I'll find out when I get back from my vacation.
All too quickly, dinner was over, and it was time to go home. Like a cisgender woman, I couldn't wait to take my bra off. But it was going to be on for another 3 hours or so, as I was about to have a zoom chat with the friends from Texas with whom RQS and I are going to spend a long weekend in Chicago. So, I made it home, turned on my computer and waited....
Around 8 pm, the zoom started. It was good that RQS is now a member of our chats, as it helps make her a 4th wheel for our group, having a good balance and moving forward to a good clip. (How should I make a 4th wheel metaphor work when describing something that works well?) Once we were done with the zoom, RQS and I had our usual daily chat. And then, it was to bed for the night.
