Showered after breakfast, but didn't wash my hair, as I had planned to have Great Clips do it today (but see below). I then spent almost the whole morning sorting and filing the mountain of papers I've accumulated.
The access van picked me up at 1:00 and took me to WinCo. I didn't get everything on my list because I had scheduled it for only 45 minutes--why I didn't make it longer, I don't know. Anyway, I still have several staples to get, which I will today at Von's.
Re hair: When I got home, I worked up my courage and washed it in the shower (my hair, that is, not my courageš¤©). That means I took two showers yesterday, so now I don't have to wash for a month or so--ha! Had turkey stir-fry for dinner, along with cabbage fritters.
Called El to tell her about my hair, but she'll still come over at noon today. We'll go to Von's, then over to Oxnard to the P.T., then visit The Manor, another independent living place in Ojai. I'll stay over at her place--yay!--and on Thursday, we'll lunch at The Orchard.
But bad news: I had a text this morning from Vera, the head of our Soaring Spirits widows' group. She had mentioned this as a possibility a month or so ago, but I was hoping it wouldn't come about. She and her daughter, Kendra, are moving back to her native Oregon, where her son lives, mostly because of money issues. One of these days, I'll sketch out her background, where is plenty interesting, but very tragic. Darn, even though she's close to my grandson's age, she's one of my favorite people and I'll miss her.
