The topic promises that it will only be an average day. Is it? At 9 30 in the morning and I am blessed to be up and at it since 6 30. Kurt was suppose to go surfing with KR but to his usual self, he begged off and had to go to work. Was suppose to be at work at 8 45 but didn't get up til 9 so he is late again. Will I be able to let go and see where his antics take him? God is my good Father and HE WILL provide, and I just sometimes needs to get out of the way to see his works. The sermon last night at church was so interesting. Wish we had gone to all 10, but we only made it to the last three. Kept forgetting to go on Thursday nights til Brad and Judi kept telling us it was so interesting.
Lani is at work this morning and I went by to see if everything is ok. Dad is peeing more, so I have to tell Kristina to give him nothing to drink with dinner. Yes, Kristina is back at work. She got caught taking 40 dollars from one of her clients and is fired from Home Helpers. I am trying to do the Christian thing and get her back on her feet by giving her more hours. Am I doing the wrong thing? Am I opening up to more troubles? There is nothing to steal but will she be good for mom and dad?
Kurt had his orientation at Wick yesterday from 2-4 and another one tomorrow from 9 - 3. We are hoping to go to Huntington Gardens as it is free YMCA member day. I have my appt with the ortho and my knee has gotta get better. I can't stand pain all the time, and not able to run.
As I get older, I am filled with more introspection. Will I die gracefully? Will I be with KR for a long time? Meaning, will he last as long as I do? He is such a good father, good husband and the bestest son in law. My mom just loves him and he is so good to them. I cannot imagine not having a companion in our later years. I looked at the ticket to West Point and business class is about 1000 bucks. Should we buy that or the cheapie? Last time, my back went out, and the business was so good. Should we go to Australia in January? So many questions and uncertainties. GOD WILL PROVIDE !!!!!!

No Can Do
Seems like I try to put something down everyday and it is just not possible. Last time was when Lovely was here for a week, and now it is two and a half weeks after the last entry. She left on the 13th. Sigh. We celebrated dad's 98th birthday with breakfast at Denny's, of course. Lunch was El Torito with Auntie Mary and Ricky. And dinner at our house. I forgot the phone so no pic at Denny's. Dang. June 10th, Will finally got his license. Second time in San Pedro, and I had to drive him. KR and the boys also went camping June 5, Sunday morning to Tuesday afternoon. I managed to get a spot at Jalama. Right in the front and they had a great time. Surfing, and walking in the tidepool.
Had lunch with Brandon on Monday the 6th to figure out what we gonna do with our retirement and the long term care, etc. Kurt had pool party, second gradeon the 9th and Lovely drove down to San Diego on Thursday. Kurt did the overnight on the 9th, and Will did Friday the 10th. Neither one of them are good at working. Kurt is always late, and Will always forget something. Lovely finally came home Sunday, and we were on our way out to eat, and dragged her along.
Kurt went and saw Robert Babb Friday the 10th. Have no idea what went on there, but we are trying to figure out what he is to do with next semester.
We had Dinner for 8 but just dinner for two. Brad and Judi Dennis came and we had a great time. Only Will ate with us, Will is usually not available.
Oh, big news. my knee has been bothering me for awhile, and on Tuesday, the 7th, I did a little hop and felt the pop around my right knee. The pain. I had made an appointment for the 8th, and had X rays, and MRI appointment for Saturday the 11th.
On Saturday, I drive to Manhattan Beach. It was actually so wet that it was lightly raining.
Monday, the 13th, I take Mom to the airport to see Lovely off. It was a sad day.
Wednesday the 15th I have lunch with Faye, she is such a love. Dinner was at the Buffalo Fire Station where Trent and Barry had a staff appreciation day. Nice to see Penny and Karen and Andrea, thank goodness Greg left soon. I am so sorry that we sold the practice to him. Karyn got fired about two months ago.
Friday we had Father's Day Luncheon at the YMCA, and it was a great BBQ. Ribs, sausage, and chicken, with all the fixing. YUM !!

Saturday was MMA at Calvary Assembly of God. It was a hot day and my knee was sore. But we saw a bunch of patients, but the Sonicare handpiece did not work too well. I returned it.
Sunday Will packed and mom and I drove him to the airport. Was going to park at the USO but as United is so far from USO we just dropped him off.
Monday had eye doctor appt with Tim Olinger. What a nice guy. No problem with my eyes.

One Week Later
How can the week go by so quick? Lovely arrived last Monday and it is one week down and one week to go. Makes me want to weep. She has been having the boys do two shifts, like 2 hours in the morning, and two hours in the afternoon. Kurt has been surfing with dad, and going to the Bay for spear fishing. He even caught a bunch of grunion and cooked them and ate them. KR loves doing this kind of stuff with him.
Yesterday, just yesterday, the boys, Will and Kurt went on a camping trip with dad to Jalama. I could not find two consecutive nights at any of the camp grounds that you didn't have to move spots, I tried South Carlsbad, Leo Carrillo, and finally Jalama. I bought all kinds of stuff, bacon, hot dogs, buns, milk, hot dog roasting stick, graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate and salad..... I didn't want them to eat more than one meal at the GRILL, as I am sure it would be expensive and especially Will does not seem to temper his spending.
Andrew is here.
Will said that his mom and dad kicked him out so he is temporarily at our house. Really weird that the boys and dad are not here and he is, but he seems to be a good kid and goes to work early and is respectful. I am sure all parents have issues with their kids.
We gave Kurt the ultimatum, after learning his grades. FOUR D's and an A- and a C+. So if he does not get all A's and B's, he will withdraw from school. He is to take out the 6500 dollar Stafford Loan, or federal direct unsubsidized loan from school, and apply all to tuition, and all the money he makes this summer goes to tuition, and no more frat, and no doing drugs, and we will let him stay. One C and he is done from Berkeley. What do you do with a kid that is so talented but not willing to do his job, which is to be a student.
Angel came to visit Lovely yesterday. We went to Classic Burger for dinner. Lovely had onion rings and Angel didn't eat and mom and dad shared shrimp burrito and burger. I took Gracie up to the fire road.
Tiffany came to visit today. We went to Seafood Town and everyone ate too much. Then we went to the bakery on Lomita, but it was closed, then we went to JJ's and she got some Starbuck's too. Dad was pretty tired from walking around. It is so weird to have the whole house empty. Andrew went to work at 4 PM and came back at 7 PM, said he had two jobs.
Tomorrow is dad's 98th birthday. Wow, don't know if I want to live that old.
