Today’s new experience: a private duty
care person came to help me in the shower—never thought I’d be showering in
front of a stranger, but when Jordan ordered me into the shower a couple of
days ago, I was afraid to go. This lady was lovely, but I actually think Jordan
is stronger and better able to protect me. At any rate, I did it, mostly on my
own, though it was tremendously comforting to have someone with me. She handed
me towels, helped me spread lotion, all that good stuff. And it took up the
better part of an hour in the morning.
Melinda, TCU Press production manager and
my dear friend, came for lunch, full of stories about the two TCU maintenance
people who had a long-running feud. Their supervisor got tired of it, after a
year and a half, and put them in his pickup truck, took them to a public park,
and told them to either fight it out or quit. It made the newspapers because
one of the guys called police, and
apparently all three lost their jobs. Good gossip, foolish supervisor—TCU has a
mediation process in place.
Melinda and I miscommunicated—she thought
we were going to lunch, and I thought she was bringing it. So she went to our
favorite restaurant to pick it up. We had heard Nonna Tata was closing, but the
word is they are not. They lease the facility to someone else in the wee hours
of the morning for breakfast service, and that led to the rumor.
Napped and woke up feeling so sorry
for myself, but I got up, did some stuff around the house, and lay down again
to elevate my foot. Jordan arrived much earlier than I expected. My day
brightened immediately. She got me engaged in cleaning and sorting everything
from recipes in my appalling collection to clothes in my closet. Nice
distraction.
Ended the evening sitting on the deck
with my neighbor and Jordan.
