A New Detour As My Life Winds Down

My brother and room mate since 2006 passed away this month. Looking into assisted living. A friend who is a social worker set me up with a place. Was supposed to meet with them but I was informed that 10 people tested positive for Covid. Meeting is reset for next week. I feel the way I did before the first day of kindergarten. I'd appreciate any tips about hiding my cash ( not the Papillon method ). I'll miss my huge DVD collection. Cutting down from thousands to a couple of bags of my favorites. Life is full of shocks and surprises.
