I guess we're safe now. Everybody in the coffee group is got the second shot and we would the mandatory two weeks so it's coffee as usual on Thursday mornings for the coffee group. Actually, it started again last week but for one reason or another I got my wires crossed and didn't make it. Today I almost missed when I got into a conversation with Dianne over a friend of ours in critical condition up in Davis County. This we still have the coffee group spread over three different tables I guess we still are doing social distancing to some degree, makes a hard on the seniors who have serious hearing issues.
Seriously whatever, I was unable to get out of the coffee group this week primarily because I started my wash early in the laundromat is fairly close to the common room where the coffee groups held. There are a couple new people at the coffee group today. Mostly disabled players except for there is the absence of a couple of regulars who, for medical reasons or whatever were no-shows. No major discussions at today's gathering I guess we are all getting back into the coffee routine. With new people beings working to establish enough trust to bring up delicate issues. Marjorie had once again built cinnamon rolls – – don't get me wrong these are great little rounds of dough covered with icing cinnamon a few walnuts chopped. It's not the big nice pull parts cinnamon rolls I remember from junior high cafeteria but hey any port in a storm right? Everything's better with coffee to wash it down even war. A couple nights ago I started watching Private Ryan . I've seen this movie wants to forgot how brutal the film starts with soldiers literally getting chopped up as they tried to leave those long boats on Omaha Beach. Unbelievable. The first 20 minutes of that movie is almost unwatchable. What got me on this segue was was a couple scenes where the Allied commanders are washing down the scenes of D-Day with large mugs of coffee. I guess trying to make my point that everything's better with coffee.We spent the day, really, getting reacquainted which is strange since most of us have been here over to her three years at the apartment complex and this is the only time we ever come close to getting together. It was nice though to see some of these folks find out what they've been up to over the last year. No great revelations. People are getting by those who have cancer still look pretty good except down a little bit weight wise I guess that's not so bad. I just don't know how to really launch into that question of “so how's it going”. Maybe next week of the week after as we all get back into our coffee cahoots. The weather is turning really good and I suspect will lose some of the coffee drinkers who actually go on stroll around the park and the good weather. Part of their health regime.
At about 10 o'clock people started wandering away from Thursday morning coffee having their fill of caffeine and other old geezers like themselves. I'd nearly forgotten I had close of the wash but I was not able to check on them immediately sense Irene who sort of handles the coffee group refreshments. A couple of folks have their own coffee cups such as I. I always bring my coffee cup however empty it might be/full and handed to Irene who then pours whatever copies left into it to go cup and usually whatever coffee is left over goes into a second to go cup and given to me. I also have first dibs of whatever refreshments might be left but refreshments this week for Slim Pickens at best. If there are maple bars photograph some but hockey puck cinnamon rolls and dusty crackers. I just had coffee to take back to the unit and that selfsame old question in the back of my mind “do I really need to be here Thursday mornings?”
