For A Moment
Sometimes it doesn’t take much for me to be confused or lose track of time. It only took a few seconds this time to realize what the date was u was thinking of the 8th because I just posted the entry for the 8th of the month of April. Is it really the 9th already? By golly, looking at my phone, it is the 9th already and I first wrote or in this case, typed 8 to write today’s entry. Oops! It’s time for bed and to put my electronic devices down for the night—even my book I began reading. Anyway, let me finish this entry and post it before shutting things down for the night. I am getting tired. I did get fresh air and it is after 10 PM.
The Need to Vent Again…
I will be very honest here. As Jackie and I were heading to Citrus Café for breakfast, we got a few feet away from exiting Garden Court when I started expressing my feelings about Donna not texting me back even a ‘how are you’ or ‘how was your weekend’ for two weeks now and I am getting really frustrated about it so much that I am very upset. All Jackie could say is that maybe she’s overwhelmed with family things right now. Yeah, but she could say she’s busy right now. I’m beginning to feel I have no one to trust all over again and I have yet to tell Julie M how I feel that I can’t trust her fully right now. Telling how I feel verbally doesn’t work well for me but writing my feelings out on paper or a computer screen like right now works for me. I told Jackie I wanted to go to a hotel until an apartment becomes available for me to move from Garden Court. She said that would not be a bad idea, but it would not work out.
Citrus Café
Anyway, we went to Citrus Café and she had eggs and toast while I had a fajita skillet with two over easy eggs. It was delicious and I have leftovers now, yummy for the tummy, and the portions are huge that I can make two to three meals out of their meals. Delicious! After breakfast, we went to the library next door.
The Library
With the help from Debbie getting me to use the online services the library has: 1. Hoopla and 2. Libby, Deb talked to a gal who took care of my library card that still had a overdue book fine on it and cleared that so I could read books and magazines online before the beginning of the year 2024. When I learned who the gal Deb was talking about, Jackie, Debbie, and I took time to go to the library to see if the gal was in that Tuesday, and woo hoo, Jamie was there and yes, it was the gal I went to school with Jamie Loveland who is now Swenson. I got my first couple of books to take home to read. No overdue books this time. That was on a very nice day that didn’t have snow. Anyway, weeks later, Jackie and I returned to the library today for a while.
Today’s excursion to the library was to get new books to read as Deb said she would return my books I’ve finished reading this round back to the library. Thanks, Debbie! I looked at Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys but didn’t get any of those books this time. I know where they are, though. I decided to get another book by Caroline Graham, James Patterson, John Grisham and Jeanette Oke. I came home with 4 books since I read fast in a short period of time. I love a good mystery and Christian based books. Jeanette Oke is one of my favorite authors as well.
After leaving the library, we headed back to relax before my IRIS nurse dropped by for her 90 day visit. Her name is Melissa. Jackie and I, upon my need to knock on Donna’s door today, saw Donna for a few minutes chatting in the hallway, and seeing her did help my my mood a little. Now, I am going to heal from my down mode.
IRIS Nurse Visit
Well, it was not Melissa. It ended up being Barb Thorne. Her appearance was a surprise for both me and Jackie but she was welcome without any problems. We learned that Melissa had to leave due to a tragedy and so Barb was here today for almost 45 minutes answering Jackie’s ongoing questions, lol. She did ask the right questions, though. Meeting Barb ended nicely, but I’m going to have to get a new nurse as Barb is for a different area of Wisconsin—phooey…
Another Outing
Jackie and I went to talk to housing people. I learned that River Flats does have ways to get into the building and you do have to be disabled and homeless to get into the damn place. It is not HUD. The woman who spoke to us from behind a glass partition, I dislike them, did give Jackie a paper for other subsidizing housing. Okay, we will see what we can do because living at Garden Court is no longer my happy place, yet a home… My home is not a 100% happy home anymore like at Burbank Plaza. I will find my 100% happy home soon.
