TUESDAY

Skipped breakfast and at 10:00, had Rick take me in The Orchard van to CVS to pick up my medication. The Eliquis cost me $126.00. All my other meds are covered by insurance; don't know why this one isn't, but it was for a three-month supply, so a little more then five hundred a year, which is doable, 

I had intended to get a pedicure via Nails D'Elegance, but when I went in, they were short-handed and said I had to come back later. I decided to skip it and will look into having Elika do it here. Called to have Rick pick me back up, which he did.

My old pal, Doris, called and we had a good talk. I hadn't heard from her for some time, so it was fun.

Kathie callled to say she was going to Wal-Mart, then lunch with her daughter. I didn't see Keith in the dining room, so sat with Trudie, Carl, Carol, and Stan. Had the Asian salad, which was pretty good. 

Dime Bingo at 2:00 and wonder of wonders, I finally won a game. Unfortunately, there were only twelve people there, so I didn't get a big payoff, but so what--it was enough to keep me in the game. Also, we're doing dime Bingo again this afternoon, combined with Happy Hour--YAY! 

Activities Director Mindy mentioned she was planning a Columbia-themed day and I told her Ellen had been there a few months ago and did she want pictures? Yes, indeed, she did, and was delighted after I forwarded Ellen's to her. 

Ate with Kathie, Keith, and LaVerne; this time, Pat (a man) joined us. I had met him and seen him around and he seems a nice guy. 

Slept well and just changed the bed before sitting down to top off this entry.
