It’s Rainy January (Holiday, Too)

Young Friend did manage to come on Tuesday.  He may even come again before the end of the month.  He not only got some cash and the February rent payments, he also got some prescription for the month.  The doctor also came.  He’s not expected back for a month to six weeks.  The Advocacy Lady came to see some papers, and she picked up the post office mail (extra service there).  The HVAC unit malfunctioned.  The manager looked and said it couldn’t be fixed.  It’s to be replaced eventually. 

Lunch Lady was early (it had to happen sooner or later) so it was necessary to get the receipt signed in the bathroom.  She had some more eggs, ready to eat.  Older Friend was unable to help much.  He did come by on Saturday although ill, and took out the trash as well as brought supplies.  He even said then that coming to the place yesterday was out as he felt too ill (his people didn’t have his services last Sunday either), but anyway he came.  There may be another possible helper, too.

Saturday and yesterday were both terrible, with most of those days spent just getting cleaned up, and one other day was not good.  It may be worry over things such as the HVAC, it being January after all.  It might also be the weather as it’s been mostly dreary, rainy days.  For Martin Luther King, Jr. day a day off for the office, so any concerns turning up have to be put off until tomorrow.  Older Friend brought some nice gifts yesterday, a Christmas plant and another very special kind. 

Snowless Januarys aren’t very nice. 

Holidays’ Afterwards

Indeed, the new year is here.  Thanks to Older Friend laundry got done.  Thanks to Distant Friend a calendar with numbers a person on a scooter can see is on the wall.  On Wednesday two ladies who may help with the missing aide service came to see about the situation.  Avon came on Thursday as expected.  The new vest to counter the cold (it snowed some and temperatures dipped) is at hand.  Lunch lady came on Friday.  She had eggs again, white ones this time.  Advocacy Lady’s in contact. 

As Older Friend had to go out of town on the weekend, he came and made sure the plants had water and there wasn’t a need of some basic things (like breakfast) on Thursday.  There was of course no visit yesterday.  Young Friend is expected tomorrow for a while.  It’s hoped he can get the rent money orders for February and a prescription.  Security Check Lady didn’t miss either day, but some arrangements with Helping Lady are still needed and, maybe, the new contact established last week. 

Christmas stuff got taken down early from outside of the door but Christmas is not done inside the place.  As blog postings and food truck were both due today, there was no time for the finish of Christmas matters.  Money’s still not in order, but the insurance check did get cashed due to Older Friend coming one other time as well as Thursday.  There are four envelopes for tallying up the finances, although there is not that much needed to clear them out.  It is presently hard to think. 

Memories can get in the way of action.
