Weight: at home, no change from last week's 127.8; at T.O.P.S., I was 128.9, down a miniscule .05. Meeting was okay, and is the last for this year. Sharon brought a large selection of fancy teas anyone could take and I did. I dislike tea, but want to give some to Susanne and Vickie. Sharon wore one of her spectacular outfits, with matching earrings, of course:
Home, I did a bunch of stuff related to Christmas, still very stressed at how late I am. I figured I deserved a rest, so packed lunch and went to the middle to eat it and relax. Took my book, but Lorraine came up and sat down with me, then a young woman whom she knows named Ellen came over with her dog, Duke, and we chatted a bit. Ellen is a dog lover and used to work in Santa Barbara at a doggie day care named ""DOG." I'lI see Carolyn tomorrow and will ask if Claire might work at the same plaee.
I got a welcome birthday gift over my phone from son, Mike--a fifty dollar gift card. After I ate and said goodbye to Lorraine, I went home and got my cart, then went over to Von's and proceeded to spend all fifty, plus seventeen dollars more--now I'm nicely stocked up.
Spent a lot of time packing for my trip to Ellen's tomorrow. Called the Access Van and will be picked up at 10:30 this morning. I have a few pre-Christmas gifts for Ellen, which I'll bring, also a birthday gift for Betty, whom we'll see tomorrow. Besides my bag of overnight stuff and my laptop, it's going to be a hell of a lot just to lug to the front entrance, but with my cart, I'll make it.
Lorraine just called me (6:38 am) to wish me a happy birthday. She is the cliche queen of the world, spouting out all the cheery and vapid words and phrases known to humankind. But hey, I get a kick out of her and I like a variety of people in my life, so I'm okay with that.
88 is just a number, right? AAGH!!
