Natalie’s Guidelines and newest post is here.
Thanks to Natalie, the Explorer, for hosting this prompt.
Grab a chair and something to drink. If you were here, I would tell you that I am working diligently on my prompts and my memoir. I am still finding bits and pieces of my memory starting to pop up and so I am adding them to my table of contents which is working as my version of an outline. I don’ do outlines, but I find I need to keep the list of chapters so I know where I am going with this. I have redone the Table of Contents over and over as I keep redoing the list of my chapters. Everyday I have numerous writing prompts to do and I keep myself busy writing, and my reading has slowed down. I still read, but not as often. I am so happy to be writing again.
The food is really still awful although we did have a couple of good meals this month. We have been told that the new dietary supervisor is waiting to see how things go for 20 days and then she will implement her changes. We hope the food gets better. Not to mention we are supposed to eat at the half hour and we don’t get served until we hit the top of the hour and then we only had 15 minutes to try and eat before the second shift comes in for their turn. I hope she figures out what to do about this. I hate stuffing my meal down rapidly and I hate not liking the food we are presented with. It is really terrible although we did have a pork the other day that was so tender I could cut it with my spoon. That doesn’t happen often. Today she even started serving the meal on the half hour we were supposed to get fed at. Maybe she will make things better in the long run.
I don’t think any new people have left the staff lately. They still haven’t fixed the fact that they need more staff though. Tomorrow (Saturday) is my shower night again and I don’t know if I will get it tomorrow or not. I will just have to wait and see.
I had two doctor appointments the other day and my daughter was actually able to take me to both of them and they worked out time wise as I was afraid I would miss the second one to the podiatrist which I really needed badly. My nails were super long. My legs are super swollen and so he wants me to have my legs wrapped every day. So he wrote a note to the staff and so far today they actually did wrap them, but not sure it will actually happen every day like he wants.
I barely get enough sleep and am always finding myself falling asleep while eating. I take so many medicines that make me drowsy. I am back to napping again during the morning at least. I am trying to write in the afternoons and evenings. 3 times a week we play Bingo and so I can’t write then, but I enjoy Bingo so I go to that when it is scheduled. I win many times during the month so I am ahead of the game when it comes to comes down to it. We play for 10 cents a game and a bonus game for a quarter. Small pots but it pays for my games so I don’t have to keep asking my daughter to get me change.
Another weekend has come and I am sure it will pass quickly. Enjoy your summer everyone.
