I hate having to dress as Mario and then change into Marian (or, vice-versa). Today was one of those days that I had to see the doctor in the morning, and then change into Marian before going to game night in Yonkers. So, I had to partially make myself ready for the day to see my doctor. And then, I had to finish the job after I was home....

My doctor has been looking for a way to get my blood pressure where he'd like it to be for several years now. And today was a day that I knew he'd likely hector me a little about exercise and losing weight. What I didn't expect was that he ran a little bit late before seeing me, and that we'd be talking about vacations - specifically, him thinking of taking the same Hawaii cruise that I took. The good news for the day was that the new medicine I am taking did what it was supposed to do with my blood pressure. This made him comfortable telling me to come back in a little over 2 months this time - something that I didn't expect.
Once done with the doctor, I picked up an egg sandwich at the local deli. However, there was a minor mishap. Just after I placed my order, a mob of teenagers came in to place their lunch orders (the high school is less than a block away) and that created confusion at the deli. I was given the wrong order, and had to go back to the deli to get the right order. Luckily, they didn't hand my sandwich to someone else.
I then went home and relaxed for a while before getting dressed as Marian for game night. Luckily, I made it there early enough for me to play in the single game the group played this evening. Although I didn't win, I wasn't in last place. And that was a miracle for me. When things broke up, I mentioned to the hostess that I finally have pierced ears, and will soon be able to wear the earrings that they gave me a few years ago.

On the way home, I chatted with RQS and we discussed our plans for the next few weeks. Yes, we will be quite busy going back and forth between our apartments. But it will be fun....
