Easter 2017

Didn't even finish the Back from Australia post and it is two months later.  Today is Saturday, and we went to the Good Friday service last night at 5.  Pastor Mike was there, I guess I should explain who Pastor Mike is.  Mike Dsane, pronounced Johnny, no D sound at all.  I think his dad is from Ghana, or some African country.  The search team finally picked him, even though Jason had also applied, and he would have been so so good.  Back to more news.  KR just called, and he and Kurt are coming back from PV somewhere, and we will go to the Farmer's Market.  On 2/18, we went to Cindy's retirement party.  Cindy and Tony are in our small group.  It was cold and rainy at the Red Onion in PV by the mall.  I am still working at South Bay Children's Dental Center every other week on Wednesdays. KR and I did a bunch of screening at the Lawndale schools and Redondo schools.  It was nice to go to these things with KR.

We didn't go to Plebe parent weekend, and Will wasn't that interested in us coming, he has a new girlfriend name Emma and he went to spend time with her.  She is a student at some cooking school and cooks well and wants to be a chef.  I caught the mother of all flu after my birthday.  The birthday was on the 8th, Wednesday.  Aaron came to visit on Friday.  Mimi left him for a yoga instructor name Adam, and he was just beyond unbelieve.  He spent a night with Violet, who is also aghast and so is our father.

So Saturday we went to Farmer's Market with mom and dad and Kurt and Aaron.  Aaron goes to see his friends in Santa Monica and I promptly become ill.  First is the temperature, 102.2 or something like that, then the chills and fever, which is followed by up chucking, four times.  CANNOT keep water down for almost a day.  Sunday comes around and I finally can keep some water down.  Feel terrible.  Sunday I spend mostly in bed.  By Monday my back was so sore that I tried to stretch my back out, and PROMPTLY pinch a nerve in my back.  Now I am both recovering from being sick and my back hurts.  I had no energy for a whole week.  I would go from the chair to the bed to the chair to the bed.  I go see Jenny Sakamoto, Wednesday the 15 March, and was suppose to work at SBCDC but they said stay home.  Thursday is Journey of Faith, 4-8.  I managed to hunch around for two hours and the back was too painful so I sat in the car til KR was done.

Today is Easter Sunday and we went to the Sunrise Service at Veteran's Park in Redondo Beach.  Pastor Mike was the speaker, and he was the speaker at the Good Friday service.  Monday was passover and we went to the Kaplans.  Last Tuesday, the 11th of April, KR and Kurt went camping at Jalama.  They were thinking of taking Jesse but the Royal Family rule says that there has to be THREE other adults from the Klub or else no go.  They stopped at Dare2dream chicken/ranch farm for me and bought me a couple of hens.  Oh, I forgot, last week the bees went crazy because I turned the compost bin and they attacked my girls, and killed Blackie, the sweetest chicken I ever had.  It was so bad.  I got stung about a dozen times all over, because I didn't quite zip the suit, as I was trying to get out there to save the girls.  Vulchi got stung too but she survived.  She will be five on May 4th, or is it she will be 6?  That was Tuesday, and on Wednesday, we drove to Huntington Park on Alameda and Florence, we found John's pet shop and bought two Dutch bantams.  THEY are so sweet and will eat from my hand.

So KR got me an Easter Egger, I had him get one for Diane.  She named hers Moa, an Easter Island statue, and I named my Bunny, but decided to change to Psycho chicken as she is a bit nutty.  KR also bought me a Golden Laced Wyandotte, and I named her Goldie.  She is very sweet, lets you pick her up but once you got her, she flaps her wings alot.  Last night the two bantams and the two new hens went into the little coop and Vulchi and Buffy, went into the large coop.  I am so glad I have SIX hens.  Ethel/Lucy is laying a very tiny egg, while Buffy is still laying, but the new hens have not.  I drove up to Diane's on Thursday and gave her the hen.  She is so sweet will let her pet.

Kurt has been smoking weed here and last week I found him smoking in the garage and I was so mad i told him he needs to go elsewhere and no more of this.  He is always late going to Grandma's and also to work and to school.  We told him we love him but we don't t think he is going to change enough to make it to school.  We certainly hope he will figure this out on his own, and one day, get through with school and get a job that pays a little more than minimum wage.  But hey, it is his life.

My blood sugar has been really weird.  Like today, two hours after I eat, I measure, it was 84.  I drink two Danimal which has 10g of sugar each and go for a walk.  At the end of the walk/run, my sugar was 80 and I am starved.  Where did that 20g of sugar go?  About every week, I have an attack of hypoglycemaia.  So KR and I had appt wih Dr Lee and I asked for another referral.  He has given me one before, Dr. Ro but her appt was the end of June, so I am seeing Dr Diane Cheung end of May instead.  My sinus has been really bad, coughing all the time, I have an appt with Nelman Low, ENT in mid-May.  My knee is slowly getting better, but still could hardly run.  I ran about 2 miles today.  THAT IS ALL !!!!
