Weekly Update 9/25/2022

This was a busy week for me, unlike almost all other weeks.

Monday I started out by getting my booster shot. The Senior Citizens organization that I belong to was offering the shots. I‘d made an appointment, and I went to have that done in the morning. I had recorded the Queen’s funeral, and watched that when I got home. Then Barbara came for a visit.

Barbara was here until Friday. She used to live at MP near me, but moved to the mountains of North Georgia about the same time I moved to the apartment. Because she knows many of the same people I do, we visited a lot. I also had a few meetings and I did my DH tours. We also met Kay for dinner one night, saw June for lunch and to play some Rummikub, and visited with the Green Square ladies at Whole Foods with our pumpkin spice lattes. It was nice to have her here.

I also had a library book club meeting that I attended while she was at an appointment. The book was We Are Not Like Them. I didn’t really like the book very much, but others enjoyed it. I like when there’s a discussion of differing opinions. There was a lecture on Thursday that I had already signed up for, so I went to that. Jeff Freeman, the Assistant Director at DH, gave a talk about the Davenports in Civil War. I knew most of what he talked about, but still thought it was fascinating.

Saturday, I got up really early and went to Lake Mayer for the annual Walk to End Alzheimer's. I’ve walked in the past, but I wasn’t sure if I would be able to do that this year. It worked out that I could get there. It was a lovely morning – bright sunshine, neither too hot nor too cold. I’m glad I went.

I’m not as glad that I drove to Bluffton to the R Bar to watch the game Sunday afternoon. Mistakes were made, lots and lots of mistakes. At least I got a great Beef on Wick sandwich, so it wasn’t a completely wasted afternoon.
