First up: walk to the dentist and get my teeth scraped. Followed by breakfast at Mme Collete’s coffee shop.
The writers group was especially good today. The theme was a moving musical experience. I cheated, there was a similar prompt two years ago when I wrote about 2 musical events that moved me (the whole text is at Day 4.088) so I just lightly updated that and read it. But other people had some truly moving essays.
After lunch Joanne picked me up, on her way from her line dancing class, and drove us to Costco. I hadn’t been in a Costco in some time, my goodness what an amazing place that is. Our goal was to find me a few shirts or jackets to spruce up my boring wardrobe. I rummaged through the piles on many tables, prices were very low, quality decent, and I got three jersey like shirts I can pull over a turtleneck or a polo, and a light jacket that I really like and will wear often.
We got back to CH just in time for the monthly Hearing Support Group, where a guy from Pacific Hearing gave a talk on cochlear implants. This corresponded with the time when my apartment is being cleaned so I went to that, as did Joanne. Fascinating technology, although I am glad I am nowhere near needing even a hearing aid, much less an implant.
Twice during the day I ran through my 3-song set for the birthday dinner tomorrow. A couple more times tomorrow before 5pm showtime will be good.
