A fair amount of activity yesterday, starting with the weekly med, changing and washing of the linens, and the big--and this time very satisfying--crossword. Cleaned up a bit, then packed my lunch and walked the mile down Telegraph Road to Ace Hardware. Got light bulbs and the stretchy bracelet-like thing that holds my keys--very convenient. Also went to Dollar Tree next door for several items.
From there, I walked to Kimball Park, another mile and a bit, intending to eat my lunch there. As I did, my neighbor, Lorraine, called, saying she was making soup and could she borrow some flour? Sure, but I wouldn't be home for a few hours--she said she was in no rush and to call her when back.
Got to the park, but it was a little cooler and breezier than I had thought, plus there were lots of high and junior highs having soccer practice. I considered sitting down to watch--I often enjoy that--but all things considered, decided to bus home. Did so and left off my purchases, packed a small container of flour, and called Lorraine to say I decided to eat in the complex middle and why didn't she meet me there?
She did and while I had a late lunch (by that time, it was past 3:00), we chatted. Lorraine is not exactly similar in background, personality, outlook--or much else, frankly--but I enjoy her in small doses and yesterday, we had an enjoyable time together. After an hour or so, we parted and I took myself home.
In the meantime, Sharon called to ask if I was inviting one of my neighbors to the T.O.P.S. brunch on Friday. Of course not, why? Because I had made a remark after she said she'd invite Louisa, who had been a member--oh, five years ago, but not since. Why in the world Leader Lennie thought that was okay is beyond me, but I shouldn't have said anything. I think Sharon is disgruntled, but whatever, but I don't feel like dealing with her on a kindergarten level, so the hell with it.
