Like the title says I am one month in. Actually, more like 6 weeks and have established a bit of a routine. I am learning...some things the hard way, but learning all the same. I am friendly with everyone I meet and am a little slow at learning who I should befriend and thiset hat I should stay away from. Mary Lou is a good person. She and I hit it off pretty much right away. Her "problem" is that she drinks. So what? A few people have suggested that I stay away from her because of that but I won't. She's been a good friend and I intend to stay friends with her. Shea is another person that I have made good friends with Shea and Mary Lou do not like one another but have promised to be nice to one another for me. I cannot ask for more than that. Both women have thir faults, however both women have been good friends to me. I think it's funny that each one of them tells me that I should stay away from the other one.
My next door neighbor thinks I should stay away from both of them. But Linda stays to herself and does not seem to be really close to anyone. She, too, is a really nice person and is a help to me. I enjoy talking to Joy, too. Joy is older and a hoot. She is in love with my Molly and Molly and I both look forward to seeing her when we go outside to smoke. Cookie is someone else that I have fun talking to and enjoy seeing. Another woman, Mary is really sweet and quiet. She was upset the other day and the poor thing could hardly talk. I felt so bad for her
Then there are the guys around here. There's Charlie, the guy withh one leg. He is so sweet and he and Mary Lou have become great friends. Warren is also a member of what I like to call "The Zoo Crew." He is an amazing sweet man who says he used to be really mean but I can't see it.. Richard drives me nuts with his silly ramblings. They tel me that he has Alzheimers but I really think he is just nuts. I pretty much stay away from him. Al lives next door to me and he is another nice guy. He can be loud and obnoxious but I've learned not to talk politics with him. As long as I keep to that, I have no problem with him. Then there is Lionel and I can't figure out f he is playing or if he is making a play for me. He's nice but I can't tell if he is joking or not. And the last thing that I want in here is a relationship with ANY of them. I'd be the talk of the tower and no thank you. I do not want to give these biddies anything at all to talk about. Yep, I also learned who it is that sits in the lobby day after day watching and talking about all the goings on of Westminister Tower 1.
My routine is beginning to evolve into spending time alone and loving it. I also go outide at least twice a day to walk Molly and touch base with whomever happens to be outside. I have my dr appts once a week and sometimes I have 2 a week. So far I have had no problems getting back and forth, Shea is always wiling to bring me and Mary Lou is generous with lending me her car.
All in all, living at Westminister Towers has been a great experience and am loving living alone. Being able to do what I want, when I want and to be my own person is everything I thought it as going to be and more. LIFE IS GREAT!
Let your heart be guided by love
