Reflections of My Life

The birds are singing, the sun is shining and coffee is in my cup............what could be better? I am prepared to have a good day no matter what happens. Sunday is usually a good day to get my laundry done because people go out for the day. I have gotten addicted to watching animal videos on YT so will probably watch a couple of them this morning while I finish my coffee.
 

Today is my bill paying day so I will be busy for this morning. I need to order more food for my bunny boy so will have a small grocery delivery sometime today. He has hay coming but not till Friday so might see if Walmart has one of those small (expensive!) bags to tide us over. It seems like I need everything this month so going through my list to see what I can put off till next month.

At least one washing machine is malfunctioning in the laundry room so I am glad I didn't try to do laundry yesterday. My luck is always to get the bad one unless there is a note put on it not to use it. So not doing that this morning. Instead I will do some cleaning in here that I need to get done.

I have not used the vibration plate for a couple of weeks now. I told you how it was making my knees hurt. Now I have done some research on that and think it may be because I have to sit to use it and my knees were bent. So now I am going to try it for 2 minutes on #1 speed and extend my legs out. I want it to work so badly! Then I am going to use the compression sleeve. I have not been using that either. So that is my plan for today. My plan for my life is to never give up, no matter what.
 
(Just wanted to pop in and say that side rails on the beds are considered a form of restraint. I spent many, many hours at the hospital where I worked attempting to keep a pt in bed when they didn't want to stay there. Patient rights. I completely understand that side rails can be abused/over-used, but it's also a safety issue. No easy answers.)

That is what I thought. I think if they put the mattress on the floor it would be better. She would not fall.
 
Today is my errand day. I usually dread it. But today Sonny is taking me to visit my friend who is in the local nursing home. First we will take care of Jeff's money so that I do not have to hurry. Then hopefully have a good visit with my friend. I don't know if she will know who I am but I still want to see her. I think she knew me here because of where I live. She knew my apartment and associates me with it. And Rabbit she seemed to know him. But she had gone downhill fast as soon as her daughter came to stay with them. That is my plan for the day.
 
Yesterday was a good day. We did not go grocery shopping since I can order online and have it delivered. Took care of my son's stuff then went to visit my friend. It was a good visit. She was sitting by herself in the dining room on her unit. When we came in and the nurse told her she had visitors and she saw us she had a big smile on her face. She knew me! In fact, she knew Sonny too.

We could not actually have a real conversation because she doesn't make sense all the time. I did like I always do, just answer what she says like I know and make more conversation. When we left she gave me a big hug and answered back to me that she loved me too. I am so happy I got to see her. I have missed her. Even though I didn't see her daily, she always came to my door about 3 times a week. Sometimes she came every day and some days more than once a day.

I didn't get bills paid yesterday because I was tired when I got home. I ended up going to sleep earlier than usual. Today I will get the bills paid. Supposed to be a hot day today so will probably get the air conditioner on early.

I love those! For years that's practically all I watched. Now, it's mostly elephants.
 
Got up this morning feeling overwhelmed with so much I need to do today. Sometimes it makes me feel panicky. Then I think to myself (or write it all down, then think), why do I think I have to do it all today? I don't have a job or someone telling me to do this today. So I look at the list and it does not appear that if I can't get it all done it would matter. At least not to anyone but me.

The district manager was here again yesterday. Of course, time to pick up the rents! She said that our manager is not coming back. She said she did not know this till yesterday. That the manager called her and quit. So that is that. One lesson I have learned living here is do not become friends with managers or maintenance men. They do not last.

Water delivery is coming today so that is one thing I cannot put off. And coffee......
