I finally had the chance to get my nails done. It's something I've wanted to do for several weeks, but the need to go out as Mario has gotten in the way. Seeing my brother, having a doctor's appointment, and having to go to the bank for the co-op has all made it impossible for me to have at least 7 days (or more) in female mode. As a result, it didn't make sense to have polished nails.
RQS was scheduled to arrive in Croton at 5 pm. So I had just enough time after I got dressed to get my nails done, have a little snack and get to the station. When I arrived at the nail salon, they knew me enough to ask whether I was there for a mani-pedi or just a manicure. Since I was there for just a manicure, I sat down at the manicure station and proceeded to have my nails done. While there I struck up a conversation with a recently widowed woman, and got into talking about cruising and the lines we preferred. (Later, I mentioned to RQS that I wish I could have befriended this woman as Marian. But this was not likely, as this woman was visiting family in Croton, but lives on Long Island - a very inconvenient place for me to visit.)
Once my nails were done, I had time to kill. So I filled up the car, then drove to the station to relax until RQS arrived. She didn't see me at first, but after a few honks, she saw me and my car, and we were off to have dinner. The first stop was at the new Thai restaurant in town. They couldn't accommodate us until 8:30, so we drove to a Mexican restaurant nearby. I had the paella, while RQS had some tacos. Both were yummy. But my dish had enough food in it to feed two people So I had leftovers to eat sometime over the next day or two.
And then it was time to go home....
