Happy Birthday to Nancy and Kathy!!

I met “the gang” for breakfast at nine this morning at Sugar and Spice to celebrate Nancy and Kathy’s birthdays. Who attended? Nancy, Kathy, Herta, Betty, Beth, Gloria and me. A couple of shots from my walk in:

Later in the afternoon, we met again at Nancy’s to extend the celebration and for movie day. The selected film was Lust for Life (biography of Vincent van Gogh) starring Kirk Douglas. It was a bit Hollywood corny at times, but overall very enjoyable. It was a good followup to having just been to the digital van Gogh exhibit before I left home. Van Gogh was such an intense human being. I wonder how he would do today…on medication.

And now I’m back home, getting a few words in here and then planning to do a bit of studying with Hola Spanish. I haven’t been in class for a while, so I want to catch up.

I needed to back off on my ideas to make changes to my apartment. Gloria was feeling overwhelmed. I committed the sin of “assuming.” I assumed she wanted the changes as much as I did. i don’t think so. I’m going to just leave things as they are. If I decide there is something I would like, I’ll just get it myself and pack it up with my stuff when I leave. That was my original plan, so I should have just stuck with that. Oh, well, hopefully no harm done.

Barb made it to California in one piece. Actually, again, I’m assuming that… I didn’t ask. I just asked if she made it. She responded that it was a harrowing experience, and she was never asked once for any Covid-related documents. Perhaps that is because the airline already had them. Who knows? She made it; that’s what counts.
