Nice day

[susandennis]

I got to the pool way early but my friend, Brodie, beat me. It turned out to be a nice visit. The regular front desk person wasn't there. The mean front desk person was and she refused to let us in early. No biggie.

After my swim I went to the dollar store and then asked Google where breakfast was. It took me to a strange little enclave in the middle of a very low rent district. It was like some developer (with very nice taste) built a whole huge community (recently) in the middle of this old, sad, low income neighborhood. Turns out, when I looked, it is actually a housing authority development beautifully done.

In the middle of it is a cafe that is also very lovely. Delicious Mexican brunch. Very very delicious. I'm absolutely going back to that place - Greenbridge Cafe.

The on to a very successful Walmart trip and home. I made a bunch of doll faces and a doll. The project of organization of my sewing room is a huge success. Stuff is way easier to get to and find.

I think I'm going to let Amazon bring me my dinner tonight. One order is dinner tonight and 3 more dinners for freezing. I haven't done that in a while so I think tonight I will. Early dinner and early ballgame. 6ish.

I know you can Amazon groceries in some places, but it can do hot foods too?

Yep! It's called Prime Now. You can order goods, groceries or prepared food from actual restaurants. The goods and groceries come in an hour for $8 delivery or in a few hours for free. The restaurant delivery comes free in an hour. The price and tip is paid for when you order. There are about 30 restaurants to pick from.

When your order is placed, the order screen is replaced with a map that has a pin where the restaurant is and a dot where you are. It tells you when the food has left the restaurant and you can actually see it move, in real time, right to your door. It's freakily mesmerizing.

I live on the 4th floor so if I want, when I see the dot moving down my block, I can just meet the dude at the front door. The deliver peops are always appreciative.

It's fun and yummy and I got 4 extra meals in the freezer this time. (It's a $20 minimum. My favorite (Mongolian beef) is onlu $10 so I get 2 servings - it freezes beautifully. With tip and tax it comes out to about $5 a meal.)

I've been in the neighborhood where Greenbridge Cafe is, even though I've never eaten there. It's close to Dubsea Coffee, which I've been to a few times.

Dubsea Coffee was my backup in case Greenbridge Cafe didn't work out!
