5/18/2024 Saturday ARMED FORCES 5K Run H 67 L 58

 Something happened to my back in the middle of the night and I had to put a diclofenec patch on.  I woke up early and the back is not too happy.  I went on the incline table at least 3 times.  I iced and wore back brace to go to the race.  We parked by Madrona School and saw Mike, plus Dan Harvey, and a few others.

The race started RIGHT on time.  It was hard.  My hip was hurting before mile 1.  I finished in 33 min.  According to RaceWire, 33:28.  Man it was hard.  Kurt beat Mike by 2 seconds.  Mike has  not been  running much,  and was not doing too good.

We got SO MUCH LOOT.  Amazing.  We also got breakfast from the rotary club but I didn't eat it.  Kurt  had the pancakes and sausages.  We came home and I immediately went to the jacuzzi.  Felt so much better and took a shower.  

Kurt went  to sleep, for over four hours.  He didn't want to go to FM with me.  SAD.  I asked Will to come over early he said  he could not.  He was working for Grace in the afternoon.  Said he has an interview with Home Depot Monday and he will come and do some work here.  

Kurt went to  Corrina for Game Night, so I am here by myself for a few hours.  Kurt took Angel to the park for a walk.  

Friday and I clean the linen closet

I went to bed by  8 40 and was up at 6.  The sleep score was 72  Guess  just not too good without KR.

I read some more of the diary but it just seems so tedious, so I gave up.  I got up to the linen closet and took a bunch of  stuff out.    The sheets that I don't need and the towels that need to be given away.   I also took down many Christmas  stuff as I  had accumulated  so many bags and boxes, I need to d ownsize.  

I did  stretching for half hour, then walked Angel to Veteran's Park.  Only 3 s-things.  Kurt went to work early and I stopped and got some enchiladas and a bottle of margarita for him.  On sale for 11 dollars.  Everything is so much  more expensive. 

I picked up the race packet from Village Runner, by HT Grill and came home.  I then rode my bike to  Mike's to give him the t shirt and his number.  I rode around the alleys.  NOTHING to be had.  

I tried to nap, but was unsuccessful.

Went to bed early, so as to get ready for the race.

Kurt went up to corrina's for a bit but was home by 9

CDA convention and NO WORK Thursday H66 L58

 I don't think the sun came out more than FIVE minutes today.

I had such  lousy sleep.  It felt like I didn't sleep at all but  the watch says I did.

Angel was on the other bed and came over in the middle of the night,  Don't think she slept well either.  Kurt went to work early and Corrina was here over night and she took Angel out for a walk and Angel would not go.  So she had to drive to the  park.  I washed the shower curtain in bleach water in the washer, and then Kurt's two blankets.   I also picked up a rug in the alley and one of the corners was really dirty and I washed it and will give away.

I read some more of my diary, and it is not clear who I am referring to often.  Don't k now what KR is talking about that should be destroyed.  So what if Kurt read about it years later.  His mother is his  mother.   

I brought stuff over to the garage, and got the hinges from lady on NextDoor who wants a bird house.  

I also rode the bike around, not too much exercise.  Tried to do more stretching to the internet.  I think  that would help with my flexibility.   

Got a hold of  Arce office.   The  receptionist  said the office is closing and she was  just told yesterday. Geez.  Anita had gone over there and she  said it looks  like they were closing.

Kurt came home and had Lovely dinner made by Freda.   I drove over to her house and picked up  the  MacBook that she fixed.  She also cooked some kale soup. 

KR is having a great time in Nicaragua.  Drinking a lot of beer.  I saw maybe 50  bottles  that were  consumed and 50 more to go !!!   They were having snapper  for dinner, or something.

The  office  went to the  convention.

Wednesday and home alone H 66 L 57

I wore both watches to sleep last night and one gives me a 82 sleep score Versa 4, and the other a 78.  I wonder which is more correct.  The time(s) very similar.  Kurt went to work early and I went to pick up the baby blanket that I  got on BNT and wrapped it for Cade this weekend.  I gotta  drive out to Temecula.

Kurt went to work  and I had diarrhea.   What to expect,  since I ate half a bag of that jalapeno peppers and it happened four days ago too.  I spoke with Aracely and decided on giving up on the MacBook.  Freda said she can come and pick up and try to reinstall High Sierra.  A man has gotta know his limitations!!

I cooked the Brussel sprouts and cleaned the dishwasher filter and did a general cleaning in preparing for work tomorrow.  The day was cloudy most day and I finally took Angel out to walk after Freda came over.

Tuesday and All is Quiet on the Western Front H 69 L 57

 I was up at 5 30.  Could  not sleep without KR.  Angel NEVER came to bed last night, stayed on the other bed.  She is out of sort too.  I did a load of laundry.  Kurt was just leaving and his morning got canceled so he walked Angel at the park.  I drove them as I had to get some paperwork for Adele who is in Poland on business.  Neil is there too.

Kurt walked Angel home and I sorted through the paperwork for Adele.  Kurt hung the laundry and I started to try to get the MacBook Pro to work.   Well, it started making this 3 beep noise so I followed the tutorial online and took the back off and tried to clean the RAM and it didn't work, so I took Kurt's old laptop but it only had ONE ram, but in all the cleaning, my macbook started to work, and I tried to do a reset, but after it would not let me install OS High Sierra.  I was trying to update to Big Sur, but it is a no go.  After many hours, I gave up for the day.

I went riding and heard from KR.  He arrived ok, and had some kind of chicken dinner and went to bed.  The pool looks amazing and he will go surfing tomorrow.

Kurt had an early day, and was home by 4 30.

I went to FM and got at least 25 pounds of brussel sprouts.  I gave most of it away and will be cooking some tomorrow.

Monday and Bible Study (yup) and KR departs H 66 L 57

 So we were  up early saying our 'GOODBYE"   hahahahahah

Then it was online Bible study for KR with Chris and gang. Then he took Angel to the Fire Road high up, while I did  the sheets and  laundry.   He then packed  his clothes, the board bag was done already. 

Kurt went to work early.  Seems like he is getting close to 40 hours  a week.  Did not hear from Will if he got the Starbuck job.  I am praying he does.  He needs something regular.  He didn't come to see Grace either, as I didn't see his car across the street.  Dang what is  up?

At  about 5 we  get a call  from Kevin, who says the flight  was canceled.  He scrambled to book a 7 15 flight and was on his way to the airport when another text came and said that the original flight was back on,  JEEZ   I had   gotten  on the phone with United trying to route KR through Las Vegas to Houston to catch  the flight to Managua.  So all was well, and KR was in a tizzy for awhile.  He didn't even know Tim's  last name.  The other fireman.  Tim Gill.

Bible Study was on time, only George, Christian,   Karl S and Jerry and Anita plus the two of  us.  

Afterwards, I drove KR to Kevin's house  and his  wife drove  the three of  them to the airport.  Flipper had Jackie drive him.  

I didn't get to bed until 10 30.  Could not sleep.  

WHAT a Mother's Day 5/12/2024

 Natasha passed three years ago, Mothers Day and it was also May 12

Rocky texted me early, a coyote had killed a dog and ate the head half on his lawn.  A bunch of fur.  Actually the kill was elsewhere because there was no blood.  Poor pup.  I posted on NextDoor to see if it is someone's pup.

We were up and went to church.  Kurt actually bought flowers from the church fund raiser and got me a bunch.  I was so surprised, I cried.  Then he gets me a card, he actually bought one and wrote on it, a three fold card.  Then Will text and see if we were at home and he was coming over.  He bought a pop up card, of a garden, and wrote very little.  But hey, it is a start.

We then talked about getting Chinese food, Patty across the street and asked if we wanted Chinese left over.  WHAT????   GOD IS SO SO GOOD !!!!  So we had three dishes and fried rice and wonton soup and white rice.  It was so  much food.  We gave a bunch of to give to Will to take home.  I also gave Will James' old A9 phone.  He has a TracPhone and it is bad.  He says does not even scroll well.

KR took a nap and then took Angel to the Fire Road.  I went for a bike ride.  Tyler called and we had a nice chat.  However, he said Toby has nipped at Christian and the other dog, Hazel, does not get along well with Toby.  KR says that is a recipe for disaster.  I sure hope they don't have problems with the dogs.  

Kurt went up to Corrina's and they had a Mother's Day hike.  We went on 2019, over RPV.  

KR had a burger for dinner, and packed for his trip.
