Or it might be written, 26-02-20-26.
Anyway. Today had no planned commitments and I was just wondering what to do with myself, when I got a call from Patty. She was in touch with another resident, Martha. Martha had driven herself to Stanford Emergency yesterday afternoon, concerned with some cardiac arrhythmia and high blood pressure. They had kept her overnight, and she didn’t know when she would be discharged, so could Patty rescue her car?
Sure, sounds like fun. I called Martha and she told me where in her room to look for her spare key fob. Then Patty and I drove to the hospital in Patty’s car, and I got out and searched in the garage to find Martha’s car. Found it no prob, drove it home and parked it in our garage. So that was a nice adventure doing a good turn for a neighbor.
Then I decided to go down and get a head start on my FOPAL work. I knew that next week is the pre-sale week and there were several things that needed tidying up. Joanne had plans for the car, I didn’t even check with her, I just took the #21 bus, which is pretty much direct from here to there and back. And using my Senior Clipper Card, it’s only $1 each way. So I did that, spent a couple hours there and got a lot of little shit done.
Practiced some music, took a nap, that was about it for the day.
Joanne has a friend from up North coming in to visit for 4 days, and she thought she had reserved a guest room here at CH. When she went to check on that today it was, no, we don’t have any record of that, and the guest rooms are all full, sorry. Fortunately the friend also has another friend in the area, in Portola Valley a couple miles away. So they were able to hastily arrange for the friend to stay with that friend for the long weekend. But imagine the consternation and the apologies and the fuss. Really unfortunate.
