Tuesday Tidbits – 211

Things on my mind lately…

Disclaimer 1 & 2 are timely since I have spent a lot of time at Georgetown University Hospital in the last week. Mom’s cancer took a downturn…we aren’t out of the woods just yet, but have received some hopeful signs.

1. Things you must bring with you to an ER (especially if you are accompanying the patient) – jacket, cardigan, or sweater in case it’s FREEZING (and it usually is), something to read, and a phone charger. For some reason, despite the number of times I was at the hospital (6), I kept forgetting to stash my phone charger in my bag – and ultimately regretted it. Luckily I had other patients in the ER and the nurse station “help a gal out”.  
2. Considering how often Tommy and/or I spent driving through Georgetown on the way to the hospital this past week, we realized how Georgetown is basically a straight shot from our house. So we decided we are going to start hanging out in Georgetown more. (We used to hang out in Georgetown a lot several years ago, but then got swayed to other parts of the city). Last Saturday, we met an old friend from our Cairo days at Paolo’s.
3. Check out what I bought at the Lily After Party yesterday.
4. Thanks to our friend Christina who offered us an impromptu night of baby-sitting last Wednesday to “escape reality”, Tommy and I checked out a relatively new restaurant,,Hummingbird, in Hotel Indigo in Old Town Alexandria. I think this restaurant may become one of our “go-tos”.
5. My girl. My heart. 

Have a great day.
