Oh
@SusieShoes, he's driving here? Aaaccck! However, while he's in town, I hope he can take advantage of the extensive subway system rather than try to figure out our narrow, twisty streets and many one-ways. You'll have to let me know how he does! Providence is also a bit tricky, lol.
Hey
@JennyLynne, it's great to see you! I just saw your thread and was thrilled to see how well you are doing! Yes, it sure is great to be out and about!
I have to be careful not to overdo since I'm so excited since busting loose from the non-driving prison, lol.
@VW54, yes, it absolutely counts that you were an Au Pair on The Vineyard! That's what we call it for some reason; poor Martha! The Vineyard is gorgeous and Nantucket even more so. If you ever do get over here, be sure to put Nantucket on your agenda.
I'm so sorry to hear we didn't make that stiff swap we discussed; pffft! I wonder what you did (if anything) to set that off? It could just be you may have slept *wrong* as we all seem to do from time to time. I hope you'll get some decent, healing zzz's tonight and wake-up as you usually do.
I had a great day of shopping but ended up asleep in a zero gravity lounger at Bed, Bath and Beyond, lol! Yep, it was the third store we went into and it was just a few too many steps for this gimpy gal. I didn't have any pain, but my leg was *fizzling*, and I was tired. I am clearly just a "One Store person," for now, perhaps two if it's a quick visit, but three strikes are out for me until further notice.
Mistah, though still in the store, was nowhere to be seen, undoubtedly somewhere amongst the pots and pans and gadgets. As usual, he forgot to bring his phone, so I couldn't call and tell him to hurry up. I saw the loungers and just decided to sit and wait for him to appear. Well....I was woken up by a lovely couple around my age who wondered if I was alright; hah! Well, no, not exactly, lol. At that point, I realized that I'd been asleep for at least 20 minutes.....yeah, good nap, right? Sooo, I had no recourse but to have Mistah paged. I didn't een know if stores could still do that, so, good to know, eh?
We came home and both took a long nap, then went out to the Clamshack.
@nensi and Canada35, I want you both to know the clams and onion rings were outstanding. I ordered a bit extra for both of you.
The weather was perfect, about 78, sunny degrees with a light sea-breeze and no humidity. The view was gorgeous with lots of boats in the bay. We clinked two bottle of beer to my friends here at Bonesmart and went on our merry way, into the sunset.

It's really great to get out and just do "life" again. Enjoy the rest of your break.
The dogs are *helping* me lounge outdoors and keep an eye open for visiting bunnies, and both have said I shouldn't even think about anything domestic today, so, I'm not. Very wise animals. 
Enjoy your afternoon of rest, AOR! Sounds like you earned it
