Playing Possum

Today was cold windy wet rainy.

Skelly is getting a nice bath.

Not much chance of Kesha walking around knocking on doors in this kind of weather; but, just in case, I closed the blinds at 10:30, lowered the volume on the TV and played no one home until noon — when Kesha should have been long gone, headed to the next complex on her schedule.

Shortly after noon, a group text message went out from the Baker.

Evidently, she braved the weather, went to the Community Room — where she said she’d never set foot in again on a Tuesday.

Oh, well.

She tells us it was just she and Kesha, with Kesha asking "What’s wrong" … like why is no one coming down on Tuesdays.

She said she told Kesha it was "About that problem with the refrigerator. We talked for about a half hour and I think we worked all of it out".

Well bully for her, but I don’t see their reconciliation making a whole lot of difference.

With no Pizza Tuesday and no Activities, because money is not being provided for Kesha to do anything, what’s the point of getting together in the Community Room?

And speaking of Activities, after bringing up the lateness of the Activity Calendar in that management/residents meeting, the result was not a timely Activity Calendar for this month. Instead, we received no Activity Calendar at all.

If by some miracle, the reconciliation does draw others back to the Community Room on Tuesdays, they can count me out unless and until management, and Kesha, come up with a reason for me to take time out of my day to go down there.

I once visited a senior complex where the residents gathered in groves to meet and greet in the mornings, because every morning management provided coffee and donuts.

We actually had that kind of joyous atmosphere here when I first moved in … but then Corporate bought the place and communal joy went out the window.

Yesterday was Crafts Monday. Since no one sent photos for me to upload onto the Residents FB page, I’m guessing they didn’t do crafts.

Did it die off already?

I’ll know tomorrow, because tomorrow is Crafts Wednesday. If I get nothing to post tomorrow, it will be a fair guess that the few that attended lost interest.

Twice a week to me seemed a little much to begin with in the first place — a huge commitment for Crafty Lady and for the Usual Suspects to attend in support of Crafty Lady.

While watching an English Subtitles Chinese Drama the other day, about the usual scumbag guy that sets himself up for very bad karma, the funniest thing popped up.

How do you like that, Linda in Kansas. There’s no escaping mention of Taylor, but at least Travis wasn't included in the script.
