We had a very nice dinner last night at the Essen House. They still have the best salad bar around. To say nothing about the potato dumpling soup. Actually if I didn't love to eat, that should be enough. But the fish and chicken and the mash potatoes and gravy just call out to me. I also don't don't want the girls up set that I didn't try their casseroles then I saw the coconut cream pie and didn't want Mary to be slighted in the least. At the end we all decided it was well worth the calories.

We also showed them the Manor House and all the other features that make the Place a home. We now have more bunnies than you can count. Those rabbits do stay busy. We must have 12 if we have any. One of the residents had one in the hall tonight and was somewhat up set that it got her all wet. I explained that they mark their friends that way so none of the other rabbits will think they can horn in on them. She then asked how many time they would do that. I said it was best to leave them in the box once they had bonded. I also told her she could wear an apron if she wanted to.

It looks like the Nursing Home that we were trying to help is going to have to shut down. The union voted again, nut they refused to take any of the cuts that would allow it to stay open. Some of the workers are very upset about looking their jobs, but I guess the others don't believe we will have to shut the doors. Our job now will be to help the residents find other places to live. We can probably take a few, but there is quite a difference from a person who needs nursing care and on that just needs assistance.

I didn't get to mass today. I was not feeling well during the night, so I had to take some medication that helps me get through the flue like symptoms that come around after the third day. At least the Masters is on, do I'll have something to watch. BS a little high 168, BP 134/76 and my HB is 89 today. I've got pain in every joint and it is very difficult getting around. The other thing that has happened though is the Hyaluronic Acid has been back ordered and I know that helps with my joints. No, not that one, but the other one's for sure.

More later, Tom
