I went to bed last night before ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cattitude got home from gaming, but after listening to most of Idiot's Delight on WFUV-FM (not streamed, sorry: everything else they broadcast is at wfuv.org, but Vin's style of broadcasting apparently doesn't fit the restrictions on what can be streamed over the Internet). Sometime during the night, Artemis did something that scratched my hand: all I remember is thinking, fuzzily, that it wasn't her fault.
This morning, we headed out to Queens together, Cattitude to game some more, and me to have dim sum and hang out at Moshe's. Getting him to Sunnyside at 11:30 meant I was early for a 12:30 dim sum in Flushing, so I stopped at the Queens Botanical Garden (for some reason, while the Brooklyn and Bronx botanic gardens charge admission, the Queens one is free) and wandered around in the pleasant sunshine. In addition to the daffodils I'd seen in bloom elsewhere, I saw winter aconite (which I was expecting, sincepameladean has them in bloom in Minneapolis, tiny purple flowers whose name I never remember, a few blossoms on a cherry hybrid, and violets! It was warm enough that I sat for a few minutes on a bench reading (in the sun, with my jacket open: the thermometer I saw had mid-60s (call it 17 or so C), and I believe that), and then stretched out on the lawn, with my head on my jacket, and did some crunches. Yes, I've turned into someone who, given a pleasant half-hour in the sunshine, doesn't just read and walk and look at flowers, she exercises.
Then I walked a few blocks uphill to Booth Memorial Avenue and Main Street, where six of us ate large quantities of tasty dim sum, and I drank lots of tea. Then we went to Moshe's--the crocuses and one of the dwarf irises I planted a few years back were blooming--for conversation. I left around 5:30: I'd figured that would get me home by 7:30, but Geri and Ben, who'd arrived about an hour earlier, were also ready to leave. Ben lives in Riverdale, and offered me a ride home, which I accepted, so I was back by six. I made apple cakelings and had a nice conversation withquility, who is developing an uncanny talent for calling while Cattitude is on his way home.
