Access van picked me up about 10 of 11:00, which meant I got to Diane's a full hour early. Rather than descend on her then (although she told me later she would have been fine with it), I sat on the bench outside. It was no problem, as it was warm and sunny and I chatted with a few of the residents coming and going. Rang Diane's bell at 11:30 and she ushered me in.
I was mistaken that Diane's new apartment is a two-bedroom. She still has only one, but it's considerably larger than her other one. It's nicely furnished--she's a talented decorator--and I'm happy for her. She opened the little presents I brought her, then we sat and talked for a half hour or so with glasses of wine. Lunch followed: I had a pad Thai she made herself, accompanied with a mustard/honey sauce. It was delish and I was sure to tell her that. We had tiny little cupcakes for dessert, then talked and talked. Before I knew it, it was 3:00 and I had to wait outside for the Access Van, which was supposed to come between 3:00 and 3:30...
...well, it didn't get there until 4:00, although I didn't really mind. Driver had to pick up another person, this time at Victoria Care Centre, where Jim used to be, so I didn't get home until 4:30, but I was in no rush, so really didn't mind.
Today, I plan to do a lot of food prep and to that end, I got out the ingredients for my cabbage fritters and turkey stir-fry. I'll probably also make some applesauce and baked apples. Come to think of it, I have that cauliflower, too, which I'll season and bake.
Luckily, aside from the usual bathroom trip, I slept well. Got up at 6:45, which is about how I like it.
