Saturday would be a day spent presenting as Marian. But first, RQS decided to help organize the clutter which was my kitchen. So, for half the day, I didn't bother doing much. But at 4 pm, we ended up driving to IKEA to look for a rolling cart. $143.00 later, I had the cart and other needed items coming home in my car with us. Both of us knew NOT to work on any IKEA assembly (including simple ones) until after we had a chance to sleep and get some more rest.

Sunday would be a day spent as Mario. We had negotiated noon as a mutual time for brunch, as RQS's friend insisted that we meet no later than noon because her grandchild would need her 1 pm nap. I was a little miffed, as I knew that the friend didn't want to bend or accommodate our needs. But, since this friend was down from Boston, I said OK to having lunch at noon, missing church for the nth Sunday in a row. !0 minutes before we were to arrive at the diner, the friend called asking us if we could meet at 1:30 pm. Both of us were annoyed. We altered our plans for the friend, and now she wanted to change things. Both of us were peeved. Her friend didn't care what she was doing to our schedules. Only her schedule was important. So RQS said we'll have to get together another time, and we proceeded to have lunch on our own.
What to do next? Well, we hung out until 5 pm, assembling the rolling cart we bought the day before, then drove to BJ's to pick up a rotisserie chicken for dinner, and then went back home to eat. For the most part, it was an OK day. But one that could have been much better if we had been able to keep our original plans for the day.
