MONDAY

Went over to the office in the moirning after texting to try to figure out the new "Loft" site where residents can pay their rent. There's a new assistant community director who, presumably works under Kim, and I dealt with her. Initially, I had called and become frustrated and angry; when I went over there, though, she was so pleasant and accommodating, she charmed me. More important, just like Kim, she's intelligent and knowledgeable, and I liked her a lot; her name is Libby and I'm sure I'll see her again. Anyway, that particular problem seems to be solved; now I have to look into my renter's insurance to see if I have to do anything else.

Glad to leave business matters behind, I did some food prep: juiced and zested two lemons and two limes, stowing some in the freezer and some in the fridge to put on my seafood dishes. I then peeled and separated a sumo orange to have it ready for breakfast (must get more of those). Finally, I washed and sliced a pound of strawberries and put them in the freezer. I still have some in the fridge that I'll put on my oatmeal this morning.

I called Stella and we chatted. It's still not clear to me what her physical problems are, but she seems to go to the doctor a lot. We'll meet up some time in the coming weeks for lunch. 

Packed lunch and bused to town, stopping in S.P.A.R.C. to buy a new purse and chat for a bit with the clerk there. Her name is Anna and she's very accomadating; also got some Easter gifts for the little girls in Rancocas. Ate across from the mission, as usual. It was very quiet in town, as it always is on weekdays; also, schools are on spring break, so there were few kids on the bus. 

I'm considering going to WinCo today and possibly to the Target nearby. However, first I have to attend to the list of 👉Things To Do👈 I've complied. Wish I had a secretary...
