After a long weekend with RQS, I had to go home. It's just as well I did so, as I needed to start getting things done at home. So, it was with regret (and a little relief) that I got on my way. (As they say: Absence makes the heart grow fonder.)

Both of us got moving late in the morning today. But that didn't mean that either of us were ready to go out. I knew that I had to get ready to leave around 1:30, so that I could drive home by 3. One problem - I should have started earlier, as afternoon traffic jams would be starting early.
The reason I started to get ready later than I planned was RQS's TV. We wanted to move a large screen TV into the living room, and move the smaller one into the sitting room. Well, we had to move furniture, storage boxes, and other stuff out of the way to get at all the wires (power cords being the most important), and disconnect them so that we could carry the TV into the living room. We did this before I showered, and we had working TV in the living room before I left.
One of the problems I have at RQS's place is that the lighting is terrible. There is only one place in her apartment where I can get enough light to do my makeup, and it's her bathroom. The lighted makeup mirror I brought to her place doesn't do enough good. But I can make do with it if I'm careful. If I could find a solution that works, I'd have a much easier time of applying my makeup at her place.
I left RQS around 3:15, and it took forever to make it from her neck of the woods to the other side of the East River. But once across, I had no problem making it to Stew Leonard's to do some food shopping. But again, I hit some traffic on the way home, as I was traveling in the middle of rush hour.
Eventually, I made it home for the night - and finally had a chance to relax.
