It was a semi busy Thursday and that's okay. I spent a good part of the day in the apartment just because it look like it was cold and yucky outside but when I went out check it out it was not too bad at all. In fact I even went over to the market to pick up a few things. Did they start out as usual at 6:00 a.m. when I finally decide to get up. I've been watching the clock for almost an hour when I woke up around 5:00 a.m. and I just couldn't get back to sleep. I didn't really have anything to do this morning except social coffee until I was contacted by the wounds care specialist. She was worked into my schedule yesterday when the other individual looked at me and looked at my leg and indicated I needed to have a wound care specialist look at it take care of it and I was impressed this morning when I got the text that she was coming over. I was able to fit her in before the coffee group which kind of impressed me. The wound care specialist was kind of a plain change she knew what she was doing but she wasn't too impressed with my wound and gave it some basic dressing I think she was less impressed with the fact that I didn't have a bunch of stuff ready at hand- - but I thought that she would provide- - to work on my wounds. Basically I've been using Melissa skill set and going after my wound with a lot of hydrogen peroxide and rubbing alcohol we had the couple of other cleansing articles but not like what she was looking at are looking for so that was kind of strange. Now I want to get those items in so I'll have a good storage part of those benefits in case I have more wounds.
The coffee group was pretty much the same as always maybe four or five of the regular folks that just keep showing up couple of folks will stop by and get a cup of coffee but not really become part of the group and a lot of the old group just do not show up anymore. I have a sneaky suspicion that a lot of it is just plain bigotry by some of my friends here at the facility. I think a lot of these guys stop coming when a large portion of the Hispanic residents started showing up for coffee social which I think is just totally bizarre and weird. I cannot believe that these folks are that shallow but that seems to be the case. So I guess we will live by on our five regular folks until the disband the coffee group all together. I don't know if that will happen I don't know how much management relies on the benefit that coffee social renders are Grant makeup as far as a way to reach out to seniors and to increase their socialization. That is pretty clinical but I also sure that's pretty much the way that it is.
Perhaps the best part of my day was when I got a text from my granddaughter indicating that she and her boyfriend were coming over to visit since they hadn't really been at the breakfast for the last couple months. It seems that Jasmine had cooked a couple of banana breads I'm wanted to bring me over a couple of loaves. She made Mini banana bread rolls and I got two regular and two Walnut covered l o a v e s they were quite good. Jasmine and I did a lot of visiting while Jackson as usual worked on cleaning up the apartment he mopped and swept the floors and picked up a bunch of other stuff around the apartment which is really appreciated. We talked a lot enjoy each other's company and finally I sent them on their way and I was going to enjoy banana bread and fried chicken from the market …
