Tidied up the apartment in anticipation of it being cleaned at noon. Then headed out the door for the standard walk at 8am. Nice cool morning, nice walk.
Writers meeting at 10:30. Cue was “that teacher really didn’t like me”. I had nothing. I can remember a few teachers. One I thought was incompetent (and he was) but none that really disliked me. Some good essays from the others, though. Especially one from Dr. Margaret, remembering being one of 2 female med students in a class of 100, in 1957.
Spent some time studying the songs of Randy Newman, thinking I could find one that I could perform. “Feels Like Home” would be nice to sing but no way could I play the accompaniment.
Attended the Appreciation Fund committee meeting. The Appreciation Fund is a big annual thing here. By law and custom, there is absolutely no tipping or gifting from residents to staff. However, annually the residents organize a fund drive to collect money which is given to staff, in proportion to length of service, at the staff Christmas Party. It’s one giant tip for a year of service. The App. Fund committee starts organizing now for a big kickoff party in October. My friend Kass is the chair and asked me to attend. I have committed only to doing the tech for the show and party in October. But there are a bunch more involved in the project.
