just your average day in an assisted living community, a bored bipolar person

Cardio appointment 2:00 pm Thursday 7-23. I am OK with this being Christina’s 7th visit & her last appointment is week after. She & Gina worked as a team & Gina’s done ✅ I do Gina’s PT exercise routine once daily & adding walking. After walking daily I will add PT exercise 2X day. Exercise here on hold right now $ schedule watch it on Ch49 9:30

You have a Wonderful Wednesday too💚🌷💚🌷💚

I went for long walk to mail my cards, walk all 1st floor with dog themed art & saw Bell Yorkie & her human. She encouraged me sign up for Saturday Bingo even tho 10 signed up tho some may not come. No sign up yet for Monday Bingo. I am trying. Few men to lots lots women per door signs. Feel for men-that’s minority in #s here ha ha

Your generation & part mine better balanced-Men live longer & cause we worked we women even to men longevity

Breakfast soon-Most do NOT want dine in dining area & stay in their rooms for meals & activities Room 302 is lucky for sunshine tho not yet today, close laundry, elevator & I prop my door open for meal delivery & meet people! Mostly health care people like Christina or those “serving the Lord” voluntarily who will come to your room & pray w U etc. Honestly I may need buy a Bible from Hobby Lobby on line to get know Social Shakers & Makers on 2nd floor. My art table filled w jigsaw puzzles the popular leisure activity of 3rd floor. Our Art is beach & sailing themed with Joyce’s really nice art all along long hall. Nice to look at tho wished I had Texas Wild Flowers art at in-patient GBH which is similar to living here tho no dining together. I am quite frankly happy ZOOM group over-more stirring me up than calming me with noise poor audio video etc

I am content here kinda like Bill who posts his “art” in elevator w jack O Lanterns & saying to be safe NOT sorry! I like him cause he is quiet tho careful not talk to him even to say hello It rattles him & he has sign on his door to leave his food outside. Bill’s our WF hermit yet he still leads us in his quiet way.

Thought you might want know what’s it really like at WF We’ll we’re quiet here in 3rd Fl even Dorothy & Jeanne who want their food left outside too. I am one who opens my blinds & window coverings to outside & prop open my door to meet & greet people. I will look for same lady to have lunch downstairs unless her food buddy dines cause only 2 to table then get close 5-6 table in Art Corner 1st floor & Bingo Rotunda on 2nd. See why moved to those locations cause more 6-10 feet distancing w tables chairs. I will listen to Bill’s caution & Gina’s & avoid “cozy table” most NOT wearing masks Ha ha Day in Life at WF I like sun coming out & my tiny Whoville Apartment & most All if It

Married Couples hang together & that make sense. We singles are hodge lodge. Most nice & helpful- See U tomorrow My Big Event Week next to Bingo

Farkle today at 3pm in downstairs crowded activity room-game chance w dice!

Love 💕 U wanted share day at WF If any different 2nd Floor will tell you Tomorrow ✅👍

My Joyful Thought of Day per tablet you gave me is-

The World is Conspiring In My Favor!

For Christina’s visit today-I like it! I did Ch 49 Chair Fitness using walker & my hand weights. At 4PM or after Farkle I will do Gina’s PT Exercise Routine. I will also walk 2nd Floor after Christina is here & done. ALL my exercise plus gratitudes & affirmations journal which I feel are remedy to my after 4 crankiest  Ha Ha

Lisa just came by to introduce Jen Our New Activities Director & take my pic for? I’m in my Art Clothes-casual-no face make up tho I did smile!😊

See Bill’s posting in the elevator. Jen’s first as Activities Director is to cancel the Checkers Tournament for Name That Tune I can hear Bob yawning possibly cutting some zzzzzs right now💤 I am merely reporting not making editorial comment.

I dined like The Queen-sparse turnout for Dining Hall lunch- one married couple (she tutored next in Bingo & plays grand piano around 4-5 pm) decided go out for lunch-still have their car. Table 5 ladies in Activity Room dining & as you told me have challenges. Two African American ladies dined long table 4 two & lady found her lunch buddy & they dined together. Wish I’d brought Bella to dine w me then be a lot Chin Wags over that... I dined solo wishing for a smaller less obvious table. I think w no married couple takers I may next time. There’s pay off to dining in Dining Hall-personal server, nicer napkins, nice stainless cutlery vs plastic, nice dish ware & served in courses w Real Key Lime pie served last no whipping cream embellishments-just pie & graham cracker crust. I ate half as better than crying over table 10 feet long & only one person dining. When I dine solo I do strike up conversations w tables people around me or eat at bar & have great conversations! Covid whatever sucks!😊

Looking forward to You Going to another Dr’s Appt (Ok that was a Fudge), Christina & The Help movie at 7pm! Either residents too loose here sitting small tables 5-6 no masks in activities even 2 small tables at Bingo or stay in their room. Will wait it out- no other way but gutting through “It”

Nap w Bob Art throw in wing chair sounds great until time Christina- done art 🖼 affirmations & exercise plus lunch-I do Greer all at their tables etc👍✅

Chrisitina came & went for last time as Brenda Supervisor Nurse will do my 8th visit by Home Health Care Nurse’s. My temp 97.2, my oxygen 97 out 100 which means my heart & lungs are pumping plenty oxygen. My pulse normal range 77 & my blood pressure 139/60 not even pre-hypertension. Out of all her checks I have only been 140 one time which is moving into PRE hypertension range. Hypertension is 180 above like Bro & Tim. Tim’s is dna through his Dad who tho slim had both hypertension & lung disorder.

Such is life. I will take list Meds & believe know my family history re cardio & stents. Christina advises I try do my own fresh veggies & salad mix in w meal plans served & write NO SALT ADDED on my meal list. Maybe you can refresh me again about Healthy Choice or I will walk downstairs to front desk & see whose available to help me or maybe call. Christina also advises I monitor my own BP with monitor at your house. I can also attend HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE check here tomorrow but think at 2:00 pm when out going Dr Dorcus. That’s the Heart ❤️ Health Report & can only have her back if Cardio Guy recommends it✅👍

It's 2:30 and she has only texted me 16 times today so far.  I guess she figures that I don't need to work to live and pay my bills.  Yesterday I had a grand total of 23 text messages from her.  It's exhausting.......
