THURSDAY

 Went to bone builders from 10:30 to 11:30, then caught the last ten minutes of "Town Hall and Food for Thought." This is a periodic gathering with Director Tiffany and Chef Michael where residents ask questions, express concerns, and so on; I guess it's pretty standard in this kind of facility. Anyway, I praised the hot dogs (from Nathan's, who sell the best) and asked about the sugar content of the "no sugar" ice cream. I found out it has no added sugar, but some ingredients may have sugar. Well, that's not "no sugar," is it? I avoid sugar, but once in a while, I indulge.

Went from there to lunch, sitting with Kathie and LaVerne. The latter's granddaughter and family, from Dallas, came to visit yesterday evening--lucky her. Back in my apartment, I thinly sliced the cabbage and onion I had bought; not sure how I'll cook it, but I'll give it a shot.  

I went downstairs thinking I'd go to Trivia, but I was early. Saw Trudie, who "leads" Trivia and sat down to chat with her for  half-hour or so. Trudie is a big talker--this place is filled with them--but I enjoyed her stories. Decided not to stay for Trivia after all, and went back to my place.

Called Elika to make a date to do my nails today at 2:00. What I want to do is take the bus to the mall before that and pick up a few things. 

I was annoyed to get an email from Suzy to the effect that dress reheasal tomorrow has been changed from 5:00 to 2:00 o'clock, as she has a conflict in schedules. Okay, I called the Access Van back and switched my pickup time and place. 

Had dinner with Kathie, Keith, and the newcomer, Denise. She looks a lot younger than the seventy-six she is and is quite attractive. She and her husband are separated and he lives "up in the mountains." She has two daughters and a dog, as well as, unfortunately, some vision and other problems. 

Damn, I woke up at 2:30 and foolishly got up and played my match game before going back. I planed to take the bus to the mall to get a skillet before my manicure at 2:00 and haircut at 3:00. I may have to take a nap instead--I'll see how I feel after coffee.
