Did the gym machines. Worked on my brief presentation to Rhonda. I am scheduled for this rather critical meeting tomorrow at 10.
Then having an hour free before the start of the writer’s meeting, I thought, what could I write? The cue for this week was, “a special gift that you have given or received.” Actually in the middle of the night — my sleep patterns are not that disrupted, this was like 2 minutes of wakefulness around 5am — I had thought about it and concluded that I did not remember any significant gifts I had given or received. That I wanted to tell the writers group about, anyway. Then the phrase “gifts of the holy spirit” popped up. Hmmm.
So at 9:30 I started writing about revival meetings, and how my parents believed in the “Gift of Tongues” and the “Gift of Prophecy”. It came out a bit dark. But at least, at 10:45 when the zoom meeting started, I had something to read.
I took a tech squad call to help Lynn with a couple of Mac questions, nothing difficult. At 4pm it was time for the second of a weekly series presented by our staff, detailing the services offered by CH. This one was about services for the Independent Living tower. They detailed all the things included in your monthly bill, and the things for which you pay extra. For example, Housekeeping takes care of changing and laundering sheets and towels, but if you want something else laundered, that’s a fee. Go to the nurse station on the third floor any time for routine blood pressure or such, but if you need help with eye drops or to put on compression stockings, that’s a fee service. Etc. Security, help with scams, routine wellness checks, etc. There’s a motion sensor in every unit, and if it doesn’t see motion between 5am and 10am, and you haven’t signed out for a vacation, a nurse will come do a wellness check. Quite a long list of included stuff.
Right after the meeting I had to get out the little portable sound system and set it up in the lobby for a sing-along. This was scheduled rather abruptly, it was a “Tony Bennett memorial sing-along”. So nobody on my committee had known about it or was free. It was a nice sing-along anyway.
