Day 61..........A lovely work-day.
3 Girls and 4 Suitcases.
Yesterday morning was my 'work-day' and I had a lovely couple of hours with Ross. The staff already greet me with 'Hey, it's Monday' so I guess I've been noticed and accepted. I was doing a wee tidy-up and found a note which had a couple of names, 27th and 11am pick-up written on it. When I had arrived, Ross seemed to know that he was expecting visitors so I guess that somewhere inside, he remembered writing the note to himself. He had written it on the calendar for 26th but we surmised that he was likely getting picked up at 11 and he went off to get himself ready whilst I busied myself tidying up.
His lunch-date pick-up arrived at 11 and they were a lovely couple who were taking him to the Golf-Club. I was sad to see Ross go, 'cause he's great fun but I was glad that he would be spending another of couple of hours with good company and I used the remaining half hour to clean his wee fridge. I noticed that he's got a lunch-date on his calendar for next monday but not till 11.30 so that will work out grand because I can help him get organised whilst tidying up for his guests arriving.
I love being there. I love older people and chatting with them. There was an election yesterday and they actually had a wee voting booth in the residence library. Cute.
After I left there, I took the subway to the Target store (a bit like Asda/Walmart) to buy Ali the new Taylor Swift cd, which went on sale yesterday. Unfortunately the competition to meet her didn't seem to extend to Canada but she is very happy with the music and the little photos inside the cover. Needless to say, I've been hearing a lot of Taylor Swift.
I was like a child in a candy store, with a new superstore to look through and I got some HUGE bargains on coloured Sharpies.......lots of them.
I decided to walk home, which I thought was around 40 mins but was actually 50 plus-groan. I had a couple of bags of stuff and was glad to plonk myself down on the sofa,with a cuppa when I got in.
Bill and I spent more than an hour on the phone, which was lovely and then, equally as lovely, my Boy came for dinner after work-yippee. Lovely to see him. His back is playing up so a wee bit Reiki and some Brufen given and hopefully he'll be feeling better today.
The early night that Ali and I had planned did not materialize and we both saw midnight come and go........and then it was today.
Sending my love out your way, as always,
Lxxx
