Tuesday Ramble

Happy Tuesday one and all.  Had a nice day yesterday despite the miserableness of some people.  We have a little lady who comes to the center.  Ruth.  She is 87 years old with Parkinson's.  her poor little hands and arms shake.  I admire this woman so much.  She gets all around with her walker.  You never know where you will find her.  She once told me on the bus that she could get transportation to the center, but has always been independent and will not give that up.  She said, "When I'm standing her waiting for the bus and the center's van passes, I just wave to it." 

Lately, though, I have been worried about her.  Twice her legs have given out as she was coming down the stairs.  Thank God she has not gotten hurt, but poor little thing sits and cries. And Ruth has a few idiosyncrasies which she is allowed at her age.  She needs to sit next to Dorothy, a regular at the center who helps Ruth with everything, and she likes having a chair for her bag and refusing to move it so someone can sit.  She even did it to me, and we ride the bus together, but I let it go and found another seat.    She also keeps about 3 cups of water in front of her and usually spills one of them.  This and the bag on the seat has irritated a couple of other members. One woman threatened to throw water in her face, and another called her a 'bitch'.  I just don't understand.  Ruth is so tiny and helpless.  How can people be so cruel? 

(Sigh) On another note.  

I started working on this necklace Friday.  It's Malachite semi precious stone beads.  However, I discovered there was not enough.  The necklace is too short so I ordered more and am waiting for them to come in so I can finish it.

Healthy dinner last night.  Had this with the half of a barbecued chicken breast I brought home for lunch.  Included boiled egg and tuna fish.  That's the only seafood I eat. 

Staying in today.  About time.  I've got a bit of cooking to do this morning, but then want to hit up a new book I bought.  Will tell you about it later.

Have a good one.
