Day 54........written at my new spot in the library.

Day 54.

3 Girls and 4 Suitcases.

Happy Tuesday, Folks.
So, sitting in the nice warm library, gazing out occasionally at every possible Fall colour, on the many trees outside the window, There is a huge leaf-storm going on out there and I am thinking that my lawn will be covered in leaves when I get home. Oh well-it's beautiful, at least. I have spent the last 2 hrs here, with my book and notepad. I get a wee bit sleepy in the afternoons, especially when trying to read, so I thought I'd write the blog for Yesterday and then get back to my notes. My phone is working again courtesy of Dan-the-Man at the phone shop. All he did was take the battery out and put it back in and it worked. I did that....twice. Mmm? So, no laptop here but I can send myself a message from my phone to copy and paste when I get home.

Monday morning and it was my first day of my new wee job with Ross. The bus times were perfect and got me up to his area within 12 mins. A quick 5 min walk and I was inside the 'Village' and he was delighted to see me.
I quickly set about some tidying up whilst he firstly was seen by the Podiatrist and secondly by the nurse who applied all his dermatology creams. Whilst he was waiting on the creams to dry, I set him to work on checking that the DVds were in the correct boxes. I have read a wee bit and it says to try to give Altzeimers sufferers as much to do as they are able....4o that's the plan. Next week, I've told him he'll be sorting through all his car-mag's. I may have to remind him....and myself of that, when Monday morning arrives.
Mary arrived around 11.45 and took us all to their golf-club for a lovely lunch-yum. People were very sweet, coming over to chat with Ross. It seems like a caring community for him to have outings to.
So, week 1 in and I think he and I are going to have some good giggles together. He loves movies and wants me to remind him how to 'Google'. The computer Whizz in me can manage that, me thinks.
Mary dropped me at home, after we took Ross home and I had a lovely skype chat with Ashley. The link dropped a couple of times. By the 3rd time, we wondered if it may be a sign. Turns out it was her anniversary so the Universe was probably telling her to go spend some time with her hubbie-lol.
Alison had already begun to make our dinner whilst I was Skyping and she does a really tasy cannelonni these days-yum. She suggested mixing through the leftover spaggetti and it made it even yummier.
After dinner we had to go to a meeting at her school about the New York trip she goes on next month. 5 days and 3 plays....sounds fab and I am jealous. Ewan McGregor, Glenn Close and Michael Cera.....not bad plays.
We went for a few groceries seeing as we were down near No Frills and we walked home in the rain. By the time we were reaching home, it was chucking it down and the drips were falling from my eyebrows-lol.
Once inside and dried off, I remembered that I wanted to nip round to Shoppers for some bargains that were finishing last night...off to get wet again.
Worth the savings of almost 50% tho'
Bill phoned and we spent a good hour (as opposed to a bad hour, you say?) chatting. No tv and a quick blog and my 45. Seconds plank and I was ready for bed. How come it wass after 11.30? Because I had got wet twice, I hadn't really warmed up and I felt cold for the bigger part of the night-boo hoo. I think I may take a fluffy blanket up there tonight...or maybe Jen's duvet-lol.
So, that's that.
Another day.....a few dollars earned.
Much love to all, Lxx
