MONDAY

Breakfast, as usual, with Keith, then my (now also usual) hour nap. At 10:00, I went down to Balance Exercise with Jackie. Ellen called after and we had a long talk, mostly about her conviction that I should hire an aide to drive me places, be here when I take a shower, and otherwise help out. I said I'd consider it and I will, but I'm not sure how I would utilize the person or, more worrisome, how I'd adjust. I also told her about Ani's complaints about INSS and sent her a copy. El will call them and tell them to disregard my application, which she had submitted. 

Lunch with Kathie and Dyan, plus Ron, whom I hadn't met before. Dyan  is my  next-door neighbor and Ron lives just after her, so we're in a row on the second floor. He seemed okay, although pretty reticent. 

After lunch, I called Community Memorial; I had just gotten a bill for $600, which I had paid several weeks ago on April 16.. The person acknowledged that and said it had been sent on the fifteenth. Well, I got it two days ago, which illustrates the sorry state of our postal system--or lack thereof. Anyway, she said to disregard, which I surely will. Priinted out Ani's lament about INSS and will give it to Kathie today to give her daughter.  

Had dinner with Trudie, Carl, and Barbara. We had a good long discussion about how we met our husbands and significant others, then Trudie mentoned Yasso Greek yogurt popsicles and offered to give me one. I accompanied them to their apartment and received it. Also was treated to an array of Trudie's framed needlepoint on the walls--very attractive.   

Showered and washed my hair before settling down to my hour of T.V.
