Friday And T.O.P.S.

Lost a smidgen (.08) at home and smidgen of a smidgen (.05) at T.O.P.S., so was 127.8 and 128.6, respectively. We held the meeting here in the rec room, clubhouse, gathering place, or whatever the hell it's called, in the main building because Trinity Lutheran is having something done with the floors. Actually, the room here is quite well done and everybody liked it--it beats Trinity Lutheran, were we usually, meet, that's a cinch.  

The meeting was much more of a therapy session than anything, which happens often. Lora came and she's very upset and worried because her house hasn't sold, yet, and the new one in Arizona is almost finished. It's very nice--spacious and with a lovely back area, but I guess its proximity to the freeway, which Julie mentioned, is a liability. Anyway, we started talking about our childhoods and how we were brought up and boy, talk about a therapy session. I often forget how privileged this little Ventnorite was, but when I hear about others' backgrounds, I realize.

Aside from that, I suggested we have a meal together, as we very occasionally did in the past. I had in mind a pot-luck lunch, but Lennie suggested brunch at the meeting itself, and that's fine. I checked with Kim in the office and sure, no problem, so I'll see when the members want to do it.

As usual, I didn't get breakfast until after 10:00. Ate, then packed a lunch and, as I've been meaning to do for some time, walked to Ace Hardware on Kimball Road to get the stretchy "bracelets" on which you can attach your keys; very convenient for me and my last one finally wore out. When I got to the shopping center, I ran into my neighbor, Lorraine. We chatted for fifteen or so and she asked if I wanted a ride home. Sure thing and after I got three bracelets,* she took me. After I put my things in, I took my lunch--by this time it was after 2:00--and my book and ate out in the middle.

Ellen emailed to tell me I could order free COVID tests on-line, and I did. 

* When I got home, I realized two of them were a little tight.  The other, which is a different plastic, fits better, so I think I'll take the two back.

Tuesday

I felt very much better yesterday--maybe a bit still "off my feed," to use an old-time expression, but not bad. Today, I'm com...
