So from December 7 to now, nary a word.
A WORD
Well, I guess it is very difficult for me to keep up. BUT, hey, tomorrow is a new year, and maybe I should have some new year resolution???? Why not, everyone else does, right?
I am reading the book: the Life changing Magic of Tidying up, by Marie Kondo
WOW, what an interesting concept. I started yesterday, and boxed up, and giving away a bunch of stuff, reorganized so many drawers, and decided if it does not bring me joy, OUT IT GOES !!! I made Kurt organize his books, and he gave away FOUR boxes of books, but still kept three, back up in the attic it goes.
Will, he is still eating in his room and driving me nuts, as I see it often. Stinky shoes, smelly sox, dirty underwear, everything...... we had another talk last night, but we shall see
On Sunday, December 10, someone posted Buy Nothing Torrance, FREE TREE, so we went. Artesia and Prairie, Honda giving out a coupon for 60 dollars, so we bought a 65 dollar tree for 5 48. I was very proud. But the Surfer does not like the tree, not a Noble Fir, or some such thing. Think it is a douglas fir.
We went to the meeting at church about Vision for Kings Harbor next year. on Sunday.
Kurt has his finals and comes home via the bus, early Sunday morning.
We had our Christmas party at Donna's on December 15, Friday.
Will gets a job at AMC and is driving my van. He is not working at mom's much. Kurt is working there more. We finally decorated the tree on December 17 and Father came to visit. He brought us cookies, of course.
A hawk took my Lucy/Ethel on Saturday December 16. Buffy was squawking and I went out to see and the hawk was eating Ethel. I am so sad. The rest were hiding. Now I have only one Lucy/Ethel.
We drive to see the lights on December 21, and wow, so crowded at 6 pm, thought all them folks were home having dinner. Candy Cane lanes were so beautiful.
Ian and Pete came over for dinner on Friday the 22nd. We have our Xmas dinner on Sunday, the 24. KR and Kurt goes diving and Kurt caught a little fish. We had Brian, mom and dad and Will and Kurt and Ronnie. Rita was suppose to come, she ended up in the hospital. Congestive heart failure.
Monday we open gifts. I got the boys wireless headphone, battery charger, gift cards to In N Out, and Jamba Juice. Kurt got me a snoopy ornament, and he glued some Lucy/Ethel feathers to Snoopy. So thoughtful. Will did not get us anything. Not even a token.
Right after gift opening, the boys went out to Mojave to go shooting. I had mom and dad duty. I took mom out to the beach and she said that she wanted to touch the water so I took her down and the was coming in lightly and I let her touch and she fell over and got wet. I didn't want to go pick her up as the waves were getting to my shoes so another guy came and helped. It was pretty funny. Her shoes, pants and jacket all got wet.
So as we wait for the new year, what do i predict for the new year?
I don't know if Kurt is going to make it in school So next year we shall see if he goes back and if he decides he will do school. He wants to change major but it is now too late and he is just pretty depressed about it in general.
Will, wants to go to USC but i have no idea if he will get in.
Tyler is still in Nebraska. He is back with Chally, the girl who got him in jail, but hey, what can I say.
That is all for 2018

First week of December
Thanksgiving went like a blur. We took Kurt to the bus downtown Sunday, 11/26. Hopefully he will attend the last week of classes and then it is Dead Week, or Reading Week, then finals. We had a chat with him and hopefully he will change major and move on to easier classes, and actually do college. Abby turned 18 on Tuesday, the 28th. How time flies. Isaiah turned 19 on Saturday the 25th. He is now a college freshman.
The weather is getting really cold. On Tuesday, it was 49 degrees at 6 30 am. Will is still leaving a mess at Gma's. Leaving his half smoked cigarettes outside, and food in his room. We tried to talk to him, and things are very very slowly improving. The shower door got installed but it was not right. The glass is resting on about 1/8" of caulk, so we called Dandoy to have the panel redone. Mike came on Friday, the first of December to remeasure. I believe it was a combination of two factors why it didn't work: First, Mike didn't check that the floor is to be leveled when the door it to be opened. So when the door was installed, the bottom sealer scraped the floor when the door was open past six inches. Secondly, I think the installer drilled the holes for the pony wall glass too close to the inside of the shower, so that the tops didn't meet. Well, at least they are doing it again.
On Monday the 27, I worked. Tuesday, I saw Maggie Pagin. Wednesday we had training by Dr Enriquez. Thursday I took mom and dad to Festival of the Trees at Torrance Memorial Hospital. We have been going for many years. Mom likes the free food, coffee and muffins, and some dancing. Dad could not care. Gina thought it was quite beautiful.
KR left for Puerto Escondido on Saturday, right after church. He was suppose to come back on Thursday, but Interjet called that his flight got rescheduled so he decided to come back the next day. I went to work on Monday the 4th to see Margarite Garza and Mary Ashley. Tuesday I was suppose to go to an office meeting, but Megha called and asked me to go do screening, as Angelica had to go to Mexico. Her mom was sick. Went to a school in Lawndale, on Condon. GPS directed me to go to Crenshaw, when I should have just gone up to work, as the school is just up the street from work. Wasted 15 minutes. Saw Joe Ward on Wednesday. Lori Malinbaum had her office party at Benihana's restaurant. I have not been there for OVER 15 years. The show was great, the chefs amazing, and the food really good. It was crowded, and there was Patty, Lynn, Richard, me Clarissa and Richard.
Today, we had the office party at the clinic. It was so much fun. We had White Elephant exchange. I wanted the wines but instead got PJ's and cookie candy house mix, which I will give to Clarissa. I actually started to miss KR just yesterday. Weird, it was totally ok just to be home by myself. Also VA delivered a new wheel chair, as the clip fell off on the old wheel chair, and instead of just ordering a new part, they just gave me a new chair. I made an appointment to see Dr Foster. My hip is still hurting. I have been trying to run two miles every other day, and I can't.
