It's funny how quickly your attitude and emotions can change in only part of a day. When I got up, I was edgy and nervous for no particular reason that I could think of--kind of downhearted, too. I came close to skipping Soaring Spirits, but decided I'd go. I had intended, as usual, to walk down Victoria Avenue to Telephone Road, then take the 11 bus to Stone Fire Grille. Instead, I just walked over to the bus stop and rode it to Telephone. I had some difficulty getting off and the bus driver had to help me.
By the time I got to the restaurant, I was tired and feeling very low, as it was already almost 12:30. There were eight of us, including Gayle, who's been ill, Susan, Gayle, Renee, Lewellen, and Georgia. The one I wanted to see, though, was darling Vera. I told her some things about which I'm concerned. My spirits lifted after I chatted with her. She had to leave to go back to work and I stayed talking with the rest of my tribe, then bused to the transit center and from there, home.
Got in and didn't nap, but watched more about the royal family (I must be nuts). Suzanne came over, having gotten home from Idaho. and we had a good, catch-up talk. She asked if I wanted to go to WinCo this morning, but I really don't need anything. I gave her a bag of food containers for her to take to the Catholic Charities food kitchen where she volunteers. Also gave her the avocados and the other produce, which she told me are papayas.
Sent Sally's son, Duane, a reminiscence about Sally when we were kids, which I think he'll read at her memorial, which is next Tuesday. I'm sorry I can't go, but just don't feel up to it.
Had a terribly restless night, getting up twice, but I'm going to take a nap today. I plan to visit Jim today--Ellen will take me, although she doesn't want to go in. I'll bring him lunch, eat with him, then she'll pick me back up.
