- Our Rec. Therapist stumbled across my blog. HI LORRAINE!
- Today at lunch, while Clive was struggling with his chef’s salad, Blanche pointed out to him, “you have tomato on your nose”. So he wiped his face. “No, it’s still there.” So he wiped more. Suddenly, Blanche realized it was a large mole or something. “Uh… you got it!” Then she looked at me and shrugged “I guess it wasn’t tomato”. LOL
- I forgot to mention that yesterday Michelle brought me a couple magazines, including a Consumer’s Report with “What Digital Camera is Right for You?” on the cover. I thought that was really thoughtful!
- As for listing the menus each day so my friends can decide what days they want to join me for meals, I can’t remember from one day to the next what’s on the menu unless it is right in front of me. Which it isn’t when I’m over here. I think the memory loss that runs rampid in this joint is contagious. Dinner tonight was sausages or salmon and I didn’t like either, which is rare. Sunday is their yummy Mac & Cheese, that much I remember!
- Sophia did go home today, but her boyfriend seemed very overwhelmed about all the responsibility she will be. I hope it goes well for her, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see her back here on Saturday. In the meantime, I have a nice, quiet, private room!
- Marge is behind me talking to her stuffed dog right now. “Are you tired, little one? Are you tired?”
- There are 150 people staying in this place (all units combined). Someone told me that number the other day. And 97% of them are named Margaret.
- Jocelyn the nursing student thanked me for being such a “great, nice client”, but her instructor wants her working with someone else now. Someone “sicker”. I bet she’s just tired of wiping my butt and wants a different view. Ahahaha! (sorry).
- Karen works again tonight, her last night until Monday. I looooooove her. I always sit up at her desk until bedtime and we talk. Every time she has to run and do something she apologizes to me, “sorry sweetie, I’ve got to go (do whatever)”. Well, you know, you are at work! No need to apologize! Hee hee
- My AFO (ankle/foot orthotic or something like that) came back today. I gave it a test run and I think it’s going to be GREAT once the swelling in my foot goes down and I get proper shoes to wear with it. It really does lift up my toes for me!
- My parents, brother and friends are Godsends and I am so grateful to all of you, you have no idea. I just need to stress that point.
Talk to me! I won't bite.
Hmm… you keep mentioning this mac and cheese. Maybe I need to come and check it out! LOL.
“Suddenly, Blanche realized it was a large mole or something.”
heh … that and congratulating someone on their pregnancy … good ones.
