• Had a lovely Panera lunch with Aunt Linda.
• We got to sit at a table for two by the windows.
• We updated each other on serious things going on in our lives
• and we made each other laugh a lot, too.
• She let me do a quick video interview of her, which was adorable.
• We ran into some people I used to know when I lived here, including a girl who was 5 last time I saw her. She's 10 now, and it was wild to see how she's grown.
• Once we got home, Linda gave me a copy of some drum and fife Christmas music I really like.
• Ellen and I went thrift shopping together, and even though I didn't find anything I wanted, I still love thrift shops.
• Then I got a good, much-needed hour workout in.
• I went to Eddie's & Elisabeth's for dinner, and we had a nice visit, plus the food was great.
• Then Eddie & I went to Everett's and watched the Blues game and played 5 Crowns with him and Lydia. There was a lot of laughing with that too.
• I also got some cat lovin' from Mr. Tom.
• And I still got to bed at a reasonable hour.

Mr. Tom, who is actually female, is the neighborhood cat that
goes to Everett's apartment to get warm.
