Got the A.C. in the car fixed in the morning, I'm happy to say. It wasn't as expensive as I'd thought it would be. Cut back the two growing-wild Montauk daisies in the front, which I should have done in the fall. I'm going to have to do some serious cleaning up out there before too long; every spring, it seems to suddenly become overgrown and weed-ridden.
Was glad to get a web cam call from P. and N., who are doing okay. Got one yesterday from Mike and the little girls; my Easter gifts finally came, three days late.
Started a new article for The Breeze on my postcard collection and I hope to interest others in writing about(or having me write about)their collection.
Got a call from Desi, asking if I had heard anything about Sid S., who's been seriously ill lately. Sid appeared in Blithe Spirit most recently and before that, in Deathtrap; he lives in Sunrise Bay and I like him and his wife so much. I called Jim N., as I know he's a friend of Sid's, and found he's been hospitalized for internal bleeding, a recurring problem, I'm afraid. Called Desi back and also, Frank next door, as he had told Desi. Whenever this kind of thing happens--often--I realize it's natural in an over-55 community. Kind of depressing, but at the same time, it brings home to me how closely-knit and concerned my neighbors are here.
Along the same lines: After I came in from the store, I got a call from friend, Marge. She had fallen and hurt her coccyx--that is, her tailbone. She asked if I still had Pat's transport chair, as she had a doctor's appointment in a few hours and could hardly walk. I don't, as I lent to Libby's husband, so I called around. Found nobody home, but was reminded the clubhouse has some to lend. Drove over, picked up a reasonably light one, and got it to Marge, who was so grateful. Offered to go with her to the doctor, but her son-in-law (who just lost his high-paying job) was coming.
Going to the pricey Coldwater Creek store with the other models to pick out clothes we'll be wearing at the Women's Club luncheon next month.
