Recorded on Saturday September 14, 2019. Lyn mentions it's her friend Lola’s birthday. This entry finds Lyn Goffaux thoughtfully weighing her options as she prepares to leave the nursing home. After mentioning supper with Lola and a call to Julie to help calculate how much tithing she owes on recent funds, she turns to the practical question of where and how she will live next. She describes an assisted living facility connected to a hospital complex, just “not much over 2,000 dollars” a month, which would provide an unfurnished apartment, three meals a day, weekly laundry, and housekeeping. At the same time, she carefully compares those costs to returning to her own apartment, where she pays 735 dollars in rent, over 100 dollars for Wi‑Fi, and 16 dollars an hour for in‑home help, all while still wanting someone to cook for her and walk with her every day. Her assessment of the current facility’s therapy is blunt and honest: the therapist is kind but ineffective, staffing is thin, and she feels they cannot properly help her or even take her walking without neglecting others. She looks ahead to arranging better therapy once she is home, confident she can manage her care more effectively on her own terms if she is careful not to “spend all her money” or get “boiled over.” Near the end, she hints at stories from earlier chapters of her life in Powell, Midway, and Bondurant—places she remembers as good and fun, even when money was tight—before returning to the present and quietly insisting that she does not really need to be in the nursing home anymore, only to be allowed to go home and move into the next phase of life with dignity.
