I didn't get much sleep last night, because I was worried about the head nurse's response to my letter about the activity room. After a lot of tossing and turning, I decided to just get up and go to the Birch Street Nursing Home early. When I got there, the patients were not even awake yet. But there was a note from the head nurse. I quickly read it and then wanted to wake the patients and tell them the good news. The head nurse had agreed to let the patients back into the activity room and had accepted their offer to spruce up the nurses' office in exchange. I let the patients sleep, and meanwhile dragged the poker table and chairs up from my basement laboratory. What a great surprise it was for the patients to see the poker table back in the activity room where it belongs. Mrs. Lieberman was especially excited, and after she won the first two hands of poker, she sent me to the gas station with her winnings to buy snacks for all the patients to celebrate their victory over the nurses.
