At the cottage

Got up at 7:00 and got ready to go... breakfast, coffee, shower, dressed, final packing of things that had to be last minutes. Put down food and water for the cat, and locked up and called the Uber.
To my shock the difference between a share and an Uber X was about $20! So despite misgivings I did share, and ended up waiting while the driver dropped the other person off. But even so Imade it tothe station on time.
They called the train, and I went to get on line to board when a porter offered to have me use the elevator. Maybe I looked overburdened or something. But of course I said yes, and managed to get ahead of most of the line, and get a window seat facing forward.
The trip was good up until we had mechanical failures and waited a good long time not moving while they were fixed. We ended up being about an hour late getting in. I ate lunch on the train of course, had a stromboli and a diet Coke.
mashfanficchick called and we talked for a bit.
After I got to Depew, I called an Uber to the Tops where Linda was to meet me. Pleasant surprise, it wasn't near as expensive as I feared.
I met up with Linda at Tops and did some shopping. Not much, since I can get Instacart down here. I called middle Brother, he's fine, and went swimming Tuesday.
Then we drove back to the cottage and she helped me in with my stuff
I put my food away, and made dinner, then hooked up the computer. I forgot to bring a two to three prong adapter so I had to plug it in to the kitchen, but, the WiFi borrowed from the Mullanes seems to reach this far.
I Teamed the FWiB briefly, to make sure it would work, and it does.
That's really all for now. I'm quite tired and still have more to do, like see if there's a bed that's made or if I have to find the sheets.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. Linda.
3. Made it here.
4. The WiFi reaches.
5. Uber.
6. Bed soon, I hope.
