...and a pretty good day. I had told the staff at Granny's Home Center (that's the most idiotic name I ever heard) I'd come for lunch with Jim at 11:00; I'm always amazed how at early they eat, but oh, well, I just skipped breakfast. While I was waiting for the Access Van out front, Kay came up and we chatted for fifteen or so. Poor soul, she's still distressed at her neighbors' noisiness and was delivering a three- page letter to management. I hope she gets some satisfaction, but I doubt she will.
Jim was pleased to see me and I asked if we could eat on the patio. Yes, indeed, and we settled in. "Johnny," the attendant, asked if I had brought Jim's lunch. I hadn't, since it had never occurred to me, but next time I will--I remember the days when Jim used to come to my place for lunch every week. We had some good conversation and Jim seems not bad--however, why he still isn't walking, I don't know why and neither does he. I stayed just an hour and the Access Van took me home.
Once I got in, I texted Suzanne, who came over promptly. We sat down to fill each other in about our last two weeks before. I had the idea she was going to some kind of retreat, but no, she and her "sister Sister," Sister Beatrice, were just visiting friends and other sisters up north. Unfortunately, Sister B., who has a heart condition, had a problem, and was in the hospital for three days in San Francisco. She does seem to be recovered now.
I told Suzanne about the naughty words in the show and assured her I wouldn't have the slightest problem if she may not want to attend. Suzanne then came up with a great idea: She asked if I would do my part just for Vickie and her. That's actually a terrific ide and I think I'll have a little happy hour for the three of us and maybe Kay, too. Interestingly, when I told her about the language thing, she asked, "Why would they do that?" meaning why would the writers include those words. She was serious and I was bemused--and amused--over her naivete. She lives in a somewhat different world then I do and many do--not better, not worse, but different. Anyway, we had a good, long talk.
On the financial front: Incredibly, Asurion is indeed going to send me $300.00 to replace my printer even though it's a Canon Asurion doesn't even sell printers. They do ask for $106.00 to cover the "processing fee," but so what? It's still two hundred up.
Believe it or not, I had the urge to go to the pool, so I put on my suit, took my book, and went. However, there was only a young couple there and they were just leaving. I actually didn't feel like getting all wet, especially when it was only in the seventies, so I just sat for 45 or so, read my book, then went home. Someday...
Talked to Ellen, who will come over on Sunday and we'll do lunch and other things. Called Noreen to say we're A-Okay for lunch on Friday. On the horizon: BCNN meeting today, lunch after with Julie and others, rehearsal at 6:00; lunch with Vera tomorrow and with Noreen on Friday. Yep, things are heating up... 😎
