June 3 2012. So now I am wondering if there are any other rooming houses in the area? In 1950 there were residences available with dining and housekeeping services: the Girls' Friendly Society, The YWCA and others like that in Chicago for working women. I Washington DC, I had a fair-sized room with two meals a day on Dupont Circle. The rents were scaled to a worker's wages. Now even our best residence hotel has been closed down. Why is that? Is there really no alternative to living in this upscale boarding house being bothered by aides and nurses that I am not using? But I like my room with microwave and refrigerator, plus private bath. And I am in my familiar neighborhood, close to the recreation center!
I am still waiting for last month's order of a replacement for the torn ironing board cover. My own ironing board I had to hide for fear our stellar housekeeping would whisk it away. I am closeted in quarantine for the fourth day because of a bod cold. Glad to have my meals packed up so that I can eat in my room.
I may go to the history class tomorrow.
