This morning I finally woke Kate at 11:00. It took her over an hour to get ready to leave for lunch; so that meant we didn’t have as much time as I would have liked before Anita, the sitter, was scheduled to arrive at home. Rather than rush Kate, I decided to call Anita and ask her to meet us at Panera where we were having lunch. That worked out well. That allowed me to leave and go back to the house to get ready for the Y. Kate and Anita stayed at Panera.
Once again, I am finding that four hours is not a lot of time when I go to the Y. After exercising, I met Mark Harrington for coffee. He is my technology guru and has handled the technical aspect of this website. We try to get together once a week. When we parted, I dropped by the ATM for some cash. Then my four hours was just about up.
When I arrived at home, Kate was sitting in a flower bed behind the house as she cleaned out some of the weeds. Anita told me they had taken a drive after leaving Panera. They had gone across town to Krispy Kreme. When they got back home, she said Kate went straight to the back yard. They had had a full afternoon themselves.
As Anita was about to leave, I thanked her. Kate quickly chimed in and said, “I’m the one who should be thanking you.” Then she walked over to Anita and gave her a hug. I never imagined things would go so well. It makes me happy.
After Anita was gone, I said, “So you went to Krispy Kreme.” Kate gave me a strange look. It was obvious that she didn’t remember going there.
