WHY

 I wonder why I am doing this?  I guess because it keeps my mind active,  I think sometimes my mind is too active,  Today the doctor comes to question me to see if I am good enough to have my exam.

It is a dull day but I will do my walking outside around the block.

Thinking and wondering how all my family is doing.

ELEVATORS

 Yesterday two of our three elevators were out of order.  The third one that brings our meals up from the ground floor were up and running.  My friend here was very nervous about going down in it so I went down with her.  I remember when I felt nervous  going in an elevator.  

Today they have been fixed I hope.

It is a long walk to my elevator for some people here.

Another beautiful red sunrise.  Rain in the forecast.

QUIET

I am worried about my teeth removal but trying not to be anxious about it. I believe it will be done carefully.  I am getting a little old for this, too old in the tooth.

Looking forward to Rick and Spenser visiting today.  I am running out of bread.  I do like my toast.  I told Sandra not to come yesterday but to get rested up after her trip.  I did miss her visit.

I am thankful for my room here and all the new friends I am making.

Ken is not making a fuss about the new girl at our table,  She is very sweet and quiet.

It is noisy here in the morning with trucks being loaded and backing in and out,   I do not mind that as I feel life is going on around me.  No fire works last night.

I am not happy I have another bladder infection.  I do not think it really  cleared up but it will be taken care of soon,

FAVORITES

 We gathered together in the big main lobby to sing all our old favorites.  A happy group just having a good time  I felt so special when I left to be a part of such a jolly group. 

Music has always been a big part of my life.  I was thrilled when I was allowed to join the junior choir at school,  I never missed any sessions.  It gave me a lot of joy. 

I am happy with my little room but I know I need to get out and be with others.

YOUTH

 A day for the young at heart.  In the morning the children from across the street came over all dressed for  Halloween.  They were swarming all around Rick as h arrived to visit me.  Later in the afternoon there was a big party with music and dancing.  and my  girlfriends who visited me where impressed.  I am happy here.
