MONDAY

 In lieu of breakfast, I took a load to the laundry room. I was able to play some games on the laptop while it was washing, then put it in the dryer and went down balance exercise class. It's annoying when a certain resident comes late, as she brings the chair next to mine and it was hard to spread my arms without hitting her. Hmm...maybe I should hit her...No, no, Mimi, now stop it. 

Exercise over, I retrieved the wash from the dryer, folded, and put it away. Went downstairs at 11:00 to wait for Susan to pick me up for Soaring Spirits lunch. She did and off we went to the Stone Fire Grille. Gayle was there and later, Glena and Lyndall came and we had a good, free-wheeling talk covering suicide, Las Vegas, and my grandson's pickleball place in Hatboro, Pa.

Amusingly, I had told Susan about my older great-grandson because her daughter is looking for a boyfriend. However, the daughter's twenty years older than he is, he's in Jersey, and--more significsantly, he just moved in with his girlfriend. Anyway, we had a very enjoyable session. Susan ill be gone for a month visiting her parents in San Diego, so I'll have to get to the next several dinners and lunches on my own. I'll probably use The Orchard van and the Access Van.

I asked Susan as a favor, to stop at CVS on the way home so I could pick up my medication.  That was about 2:00 and to my great annoyance, the pharmacy department was closed for an hour, presumably for lunch. Dammit, about six people work in that department--why can't they stagger lunch? I might go back today on the bus or else I'll ask Katherine to stop there after the BCNN meeting tomorrow.  

After I got home, I cleaned up a bit, then did ten minutes on the cardio bike. I want to increase it by five minutes each day until I hit a half hour and I'll do that daily. 

Erica texted, asking if we could go to lunch today instead of Thursday, as she's having Fractured Actors women over; of course, I'm invited, too. I told her I was booked today, so we'll make a lunch date for another time. I'll attend her little gathering, too. 

Dinner with Kathie, Pat, and Keith; didn't see LaVerne all day.
