I didn't want to start moving to go outside. The weather forecast was terrible, and I didn't feel like getting dressed. However, I had an exercise dress waiting at Macy's for me to pick up, and I didn't want to waste any time.

Around 2:00 pm, I received an email from my co-op's president, telling the board about some issues people were having with our managing agent. (No, I won't go into any details here for privacy concerns.) But this triggered my need to check in with her, resulting in a set of questions we need answered by our site representative, and a task for this person to take care of.
Next, I called my doctor's receptionist, and she established an account for me on their system. Although I am connected, I can not yet send messages to the doctor via this portal. Luckily, I'll be speaking with the receptionist again this week, as I have to schedule another appointment with the doctor (as well as scheduling a liver scan at Northwell's local office).
Now, I was ready to prepare to go to the store. But I lallygagged a little, and it wasn't until 6:00 pm that I decided to go into the shower. By the time I was ready to go out, it was raining. But I didn't know hard it was raining until I got to the front door. In for a penny, in for a pound - and I was out the door in the pouring rain. Things got even worse, as my car's accident prevention system couldn't see through the pouring rain. If I made it to Macy's by 8:00 pm, I'd pick up my dress. If not, at least I was driving slow and safe.
I arrived at Macy's around 7:40 pm, and the rain had eased off a little. 10 minutes later, I was out of the store, and the rain started up again. So I drove home slowly and safely. By the time I got home, the rain had eased off again, so I wasn't soaking wet as I got in my door. But this is a trip I should have deferred until the morning, and will do so next time it's raining this hard.

On other matters, I was originally scheduled to see DCD tonight for dinner. Now that he's late in making his monthly car payment, he is avoiding me. Since I know that his car is off the road due to his actions, it serves him right to try to make it home in this rain via public transit. Karmic justice....
