Monday home via Julian

 We were up early and went to the SLOT !!!

I was barely able to get down the hills, and Angel was just running amok.  We made it all the way through just to the area where we climbed up last time.  Angel and I stopped and sat down and waited for KR to bring the car back.  There was one car waiting for us, and no other car came in.

We went back and KR washed Angel, we packed up and went to Julian.  We got three pies and and went home.  I ate some strawberry rhubarb on the way home.  That is MY FAVORITE pie from now on.  KR got the no sugar apple and it was kind of bland, plus the bumbleberry, which is three berries pie which was a little too much sugar, I think.

Kurt was home and not feeling well.  We were home by 2.15 pm.  We unpacked and cleaned some and put the boxes   I told Kurt to stay in his room so that he does not infect anyone.  I cannot be sick before my surgery next week.  HAHAHA

KR had bible study at Joe Bark's house with Chris Cannon at 6 30 and I was in bed by 8.  BUT the watch said I went to bed at 9 and was up for almost three house.  REALLY??

Sunday On our way to Borrego Springs

 Final week of 'freedom'  hahaha

We were up early and started packing and getting ready to leave.  We got on the road to Anza Borrego about 8.  We were hungry and stopped at Farmer Boys in Lake Elsinore and had just one sandwich.  I stopped at Aldi's for some juice and some chips and we were on our way.  We  got to the desert at about 1, and checked into the Stanlunds Motel.  We were the only car there.

We rested about half hour and KR wanted to go to the Rock House.  We got there and the star gazing house was half way down as the rain was bad two weeks ago.  Clark Dry Lake bed was slightly wet, but we can see a little of the rain.  We dropped off the stuff we had brought to the desert and took a bunch of pics and drove back to tow.

We stopped at DG market, also known as Dollar General market, and I noticed that the bumper on the 4runner was GONE gone and GONE.

We bought some salad and then went back to the rock house (even though we had gone to coyote canyon too) and found the bumper, with the license plate.  We stopped at the Mexican Place and ordered two burritos and then back to the motel.  There were three more cars.

We had a great dinner and went to bed.

Dinner with the Kriegers Saturday

 What a day

Started out nice and VERY cold.  It was so cold that I could not take it staying outside.  KR left with Angel.  Andrian came to work at 8 - 3 30 and I paid him 15 bucks an hour for 7 hours.  KR worked with him for a bit.  Saying he is pretty slow.  BUT at least he is willing to come and work.  It took him an hour to get six flats of sunflowers from across the street and plant in the YMCA lot.  SHEESH

KR went to FM and got some lettuce and cabbage and an acorn squash.  There was a sink hole at the Southeast corner of Maple and 226 resulting in water shut off for over four hours.  The pipe under the sidewalk on the 226 side callapsed, with broken pipe and the only thing holding the sidewalk up was the tree roots.  Glad no one got hurt.  

I went for a ride after morning PT with Matt.  We decided on some exercises and I will see him twice next week and then it is Dr Petti time.  My bras came and they are nice and only one pair of KR's shoes came, and they are all manmade material upper, I don't know if he would like it.  The other one is coming TOMORROW!!!!

Since the water was off, we went to the jacuzzi, and showered.  I COMPLETELY FORGOT the dinner date at the Kriegers so we were about 10 min late.  SHEESH  We had such yummy pork ribs and salad and corn and beans and pie and Tillamook peach ice cream which was amazing.  I must have dropped KR's wallet there so we will have to go back and get it tomorrow on our way out to the desert.

We got home and I was so tired.  Maybe because I took a tramadol before leaving as the right hip was really whinging me.

TRIP TOMORROW !!!!

Consult with Dr Petti Friday

 It was COLD last night and I had to get up and put some jammie pants on.  WOW   KR went to the beach to walk Angel, too cold for me.  I did a yoga class at the Y and then some wt lifting.  Think I am gonna go every day, as I cannot lift wts for awhile after the surgery.

Picked up plastic bags off of 227 and went to see Dr Petti.  Then went to Blue Salt Fish Grill, and the fish and chips were good, I substituted chips for more coleslaw, should have asked for the corn thingy.  KR had fish tacos and he said my fish was better.

I went for a ride and he napped.  I also planted all the sunflowers.  Something is eating the sprouts, as many that I planted were gone, like eaten down to the nubs.  Hey, at least someone is having a healthy meal.

Kind of dizzy today, and hip sore after yoga.  Got an appt with Matt tomorrow, PT.  

Was in bed by 8.  Up by 5 I guess should be in bed by 8

NO work Thursday

 Sleep was really bad, 35.  I took a Flexirel and the usual gaba and effexor maybe too many pills.  

Went to yoga at 9 but came back early as I wanted KR to try the K-Swiss shoes, but too narrow, and I ordered two more pairs off of Amazon.  They will arrive on Saturday.

Had my PT appt at 1, and KR played from 10-12 and to jacuzzi.

Kurt and Corrina finished the left over and I cooked some salisbury steak and quinoa rice and vege, he took a nap.  I didn't even go riding it was really cold.

No cats tonight that I can see.  Wonder who is feeding them, Marmi and Mr Gray

Easy Wednesday

 Sort of

Sleep score was pretty good 40 hmmmm yesterday was 50

Went to Pilates, last min cancelation by someone at 11.  KR went surfing and then pickleball too.  He is playing almost everyday now.  He wanted to buy shoes, so I ordered some from Amazon 11 W and it was TOO SMALL when it arrived on Thursday. (right before he went to play too)

I also cycled over to deliver Dolly's puzzles, 1000 pieces tiger and she likes puzzles.  

KR took a nap and we went to Norm's for lunch.  I had an appt w Dr Tiffany Rogers.  She said I did not need spine surgery should try PT first and recommended Positive Energy off of Prospect and PCH, I called in the parking lot and made an appt for tomorrow. 

Used the CPAP again

Working AM Tuesday

 Yup, I had to work the AM shift.  NOT AGAIN.  I was up early, and realied I didnt put my watch on until late but the sleep score is still good, so I am not sure what is up.  KR had to move to the other bed, AGAIN.  Maybe I will start sleeping in the other room or something.

I was at work early, and Dr Q was there.  It is his second to the last week.  I brought my airpods into the office and they still cannot connect and do hearing test either.  I guess I have to bring my airpods to the hearing aid office to hook it up.

Work was so busy that I didn't write a single chart until 1, and took me about half hour to finish.  Dr Sata had arrived already and she could not connect either.

I got home and KR was just getting ready to go play pickleball.  LuSieng came by and was really troubled from a text from Christine Jung, telling her she should not do her posts all FLASH, as the horders will ask for too many things.  She was really bothered by Christine's msg.  I would too if she sent me that text.  I told her not to be bothered by it, and just ignore it, she didn't.  She replied back that it was rude of Christine, which I think so too, and Christine read the msg and did not reply back.

Sheesh

I went for a ride and my hip was ok.

We had bible study.  Gerry's mom [assed away
