I've developed what may not be a good sleeping habit: I get to bed about 10:00, read for a bit, then sleep until 2:00 or 3:00. I then feel wide awake and get up and play a game on the laptop. Sometimes I repeat this, then get up at 7:30 or so--late for me. I want to change this and will make an effort.
Took sheets to the laundry, changed the bed, and otherwise spruced up the place. Played some more games, then went down to lunch. Ate with Kathie, Denise, and Bea; ordered the main entree, Jambalaya, but it proved too spicy for me and I sent it back in favor of fresh fruit and cottage cheese. Denise is a talker, but is often interesting and she asks others about their ideas. I was surprised, though, that she believes in astrology, fortune tellers, and so on. However, each to her own...
After lunch, I finally got around to filing the pile of papers I've accumulated over the weeks. That took an hour and I have a few pieces I'm still trying to decide whether to file or toss. I attended to a few other bookkeeping items, too, and it feels good to have done it.
Went down to dinner and found a new resident at the table with Kathie, Denise, and LaVerne. Her name is also Kathie and we had a long getting-to-know-you talk. Her real first name is "Waverly," she said, which, incredibly, her mother didn't tell her until she was an adult. She's has a variety of physical problems, I'm afraid, and she lost a son through suicide; has another son and a daughter, but no grandchildren. After dinner, she took the other Kathie and me to see her apartment--a studio, but nicely arranged.
In the shower, I finally devised a way to conveniently stow the showerhead so it's more convenient to use. Watched a bit more of royal family doings, but I think my interest is waning. Slept okay, although I did wake up at 2:00 am for the usual, but went back and got up at 5:30, an okay time for me.
