 I washed my sheets today.  And--no surprise--I couldn’t get them back on.  Fitted sheets are awesome, but the fourth corner is impossible to tuck into place.  It takes a 200 pound heavy-weight to get it done.  One of the aides took pity on me and finished the job, or I would be sleeping on the mattress tonight.

I have three things to keep track of.  Room keys, phone, and jacket.  I inevitably walk off without one of them.  It’s the third item that has caused the problem.  I always had a phone and jacket,  but now, by adding my room key, I need a third hand.  I get a lot of exercise retracing my steps trying to find what I’ve lost.

The only human interaction going on around here is meal time.  Everyone has their own special seat, and you don’t know it is theirs until you sit there, and it throws the entire group awry.  I’ve found two different tables where there is an unclaimed seat and I alternate--but if someone doesn’t show up, I grab their chair.  It’s the only way to meet new peoeple.   There are activities--like exercise, bridge, bingo, etc., but I haven’t been able to get involved in anything but exercise--and that is awful.  I am so out of shape.  But I am doing that.
