Today I had two things on my docket, and both of them had to be done in my male presentation. First was lunch with my Ex-Boss, and then my monthly Co-Op Board meeting. And I was wishing that I could have put on a dress and gone to a museum....

Normally, I don't fully wake up until sometime between 8:30 and 10:00. Today, my journey to full consciousness started a little before 10:00, and I wasn't really moving until 10:30. This gave me about 2 hours to get dressed (as Mario), pick up my iPad (with its new battery), then drive to Rockland County to meet my ex-boss. And I barely accomplished all this in time.
Lunch with my ex-boss is always interesting, as we talk about the past, present and future. The past is usually business talk, and today was no different than usual. But today, I had job interviews to tell him about (without mention of going as Marian). And this was pleasant news to relate. Then we got into our usual political conversation - and we both have the same fears about the present and future. Neither of us like our president, and we both have concerns about what would happen if he stays in office, or is replaced by the vice president. We can't wait until 11/03/20, when we can exercise our right to vote....
Since we were expecting winter weather, we ended lunch a little earlier than usual. Luckily, none of the bad weather arrived before I started my drive home. And I was inside my apartment before 4:00. This gave me enough time to take care of some things and get ready for the co-op board meeting.
As usual, I won't go into details about the board meeting. But, compared with this time last year, everything was better than we expected. Everything was in order, and we were very happy with the way things had developed over the past year. Yes, there are some headaches that we (and other co-op boards) need to address because of New York State law changes that took place this summer. But we can now give them the proper thought required, an effort that would have been impossible at this time last year.
