HALLOWEEN and work Thursday

So I dressed up as a lifeguard.  AND Tracy had a SHARK mask so that was great.  I also brought the shelves I found on the street to the office for the girls for the back shack.

Work was not too busy  I made someone's bleaching splints

Got home and went for a bike ride.  Very dizzy but no meds

I did take some Tuesday for work.

We walked the dog and got ready for TRICK OR TREATERS!!!!

There were at least 75 people/kids

KR handled most of the kids and I went to bed by 8 !!!!!!

Too dizzy

Massage Wednesday

I went to yoga with Adele, then did laundry and then to massage.  Drove straight to see Billie Gogian up in Rancho Palos Verdes.  House call.  Her teeth were a mess.  So much plaque and food debris all around.  After I cleaned them, tried to do some house cleaning.

We had continue education with Trent and Martin at HT Grill.  It was so so nice to see the old gang of the village.  The topic was on implants with a very impressive Dr Koo.

We stopped at Nancy's to look at their kitchen.  I want to do the remodel next March or so.

Finally got to bed at 10

Working Tuesday

I had Darryl at 8 for S/RP and then Kimel for prep #19.  Since I had a bit of time I went down to the beach to run after Darryl.  AND then promptly forgot where I parked the car.  I thought it was Ave F, so I searched F, E, D, C, B and got to Knob Hill, and the car turned up to be on G !!!  Thank goodness Kimel text that he was running 15 minutes late.

After the prep, I came home and we went for a bike ride.  On the way back, I saw these two girls, Emma and Olivia, riding bikes with saddle bags like they were on a real road trip.  I offered them a bed for the night.  We gave them address and we drove home.  They didn't come for over an hour.  Turns out they had a flat, and then showed up.

We took them to the jacuzzi as I was pretty tired from the ride, and then to Green Temple to eat.  They are vegetarians,  They ate the whole meal !!!!!  We came home and all went to bed.

They are from Australia.  One from Canberra and one from Sydney.  Working in Vancouver and decided to ride Highway 1 all the way down from Canada to the Mexican border, and then fly from Tijuana to Puerto Vallerta, then back to Canada.

They were very nice girls.

Monday Only 80 degrees

Adele and I wet to yoga.  It was nice seeing her.  KR went to Chris' and then did some yard work.  I cleaned the living room windows.  There is a fire near Getty and the freeway was closed on the 405.  AGAIN.  Them people get so many fires there.  And Napa Valley is also burning.

I booked the tickets for Taiwan.  Leaving on the 13th, Thursday night, or morning?  and coming back Monday the 24th.

I cooked some burger meat and chicken leg meat and we ate at home.

COLD KHC Sunday

It was COLD this morning.

We went to church, the 9 am service, and I was so so dizzy, I sat in the car until the music stopped.  Sermon was on ACTS.  Came home and KR took Matthew and Bubba to the beach, and I went for a ride to help the dizziness. 

We went to the Kriegers for dinner.  She cooked this great chicken, salad, brussel sprouts and dessert of ice cream, tiramisu, and sherbet.  Gracie chased Percy for a bit and laid down to sleep on the sofa.  It was so nice to see them.  Eliot also got us some coffee !!!!

Still HOT Saturday, MMA Clinic

It was rather cool morning, but got hot soon enough.  We went down to Wilmington, to Beacon Light Mission and did dental work.  I saw my patient from SBCHC and took out her teeth, 1, 16.

KR had a bad back this morning, something was hurting, and it got worse and worse.  We left about 1 pm as the pain was getting worse.  We got some lunch to go and came home.  He ate and went to bed.  I was pretty dizzy but did not take any meds.

After short nap, he thought of going diving, and the pain got worse, so we just ate at home and went to bed.

HOT 94 degree Friday

I didn't get up until 7 am.  KR went down to the beach with the dog, while I went to pilates with Adele at 8 30.  Lilly was great and Adele really enjoyed it.  I also cooked two burgers on the grill before it got too hot.

We then went for a LONG bike ride, from Ave C to Ballona Creek, total about 10 miles.  ONE WAY

I went for a SWIM !!!   YUP, me in the ocean for maybe about 5 minutes.  It was cold but not that bad as my knee and hip needed the cold ocean after the hot ride.

We went home and KR took a nap while I went to see Chris Bruno.  IT WAS GREAT !!!  He worked on my neck, and said the left side was so seized up, and got a good stretch and massage and adjustment.  I paid for 10 visits with 700 dollars !!!!!!

I drove down to the beach and walked about 5 minutes with KR.  And Gracie, of course.  Then she didn't wanna go.  It was still hot.

We came home and had bible study at Joann's.  Everyone came, except Cindy and Tony, of course.  Patty and Mike was a little late.  Mike Gooch was out of town.

We went to bed late.

Easy work Thursday 10/24/19

Will thought Tyler was coming down to get his work boots.  But from Snapchat, looks like he and Erin drove to Oregon.  Tyler never responded about his boots, guess we should just give them away.

Went to work and it was easy day.  Pretty busy but I got done by 11 30 and came home, then to the pool for more swim/walkabout.

Shirley Hatano had her shoulder surgery, and Doug said it went well.

KR went for a paddle.  Oh, he went diving last night and got three lobsters.  He gave them to Grace.

We went down to walk the dog at the beach.

If dogs don't go to heaven, then why is it backward from GOD???? 


Still HOT Wednesday

No work, and hot today

I change sheets and then went to Long Beach to see Elias Guiterrez, Elaine's dad.  His teeth were a mess, lots of food and a perio abscess starting on M of #20 from food impaction.  He chipped a piece of tooth on D of #21, so food is getting in there all the time.  I polished his teeth and came home.

I went to the pool, and swam/walked and then sunned myself for a bit.  KR had an appt with Nazareth at 3 pm.  He was not happy that I had to drive him, as he had a large Bud beer and BAC .04.  I wanted to tell him he can do as he please as it is his life.

He did get a ticket about a month ago for speeding off of PV drive.

I ran around the neighborhood while he had the massage.  We then walked Gracie, came home, had dinner and went to bed.

MORE heatwave

It is suppose to be 92 in Torrance today.  We drove to N Redondo to see the bike trailer for Gracie on sale at FB Market place.  It was too small for her.

Then a very nice walk at King's Harbor Marina.

KR went for a paddle and I went to my massage.  Then I met Corrina who is going to take care of Gracie and telling her what to do with the house, cats, dog, chickens, mail, paper, and trash cans.

I then went to work, seeing Reza Zaid, and I drove KR down to walk Gracie.  We then went to Wahoo Fish Grill for dinner and came home.

88 degrees MONDAY 10/21/2019

WOW WHAT a heat wave.

KR came home after Chris' bible study and said BIKE RIDE !!!!

I didn't make it to yoga, overslept

And Adele just got in late last night and said she was not going, so I didn't press.

I did go to the pilates class and it was great.

We drove down to Ave C and rode to El Porto.  The fire in Pacific Palisades was just starting.  After the nice HOT ride, I had a meeting with Tom Omoto about Donald Winbush, Mable Duncan's son.  KR took a nap.  We walked the dog, had dinner and went to bed.  He read me some Oswald's

Very dizzy, but no meds.

Sunday, October 20, 2019

Sunday

Tyler and Erin eats breakfast and we go to church.  KR went surfing early first.  I was really dizzy at Branch of Hope, but when the drum is not being played, I am ok.  Saw Bill and Elaine there.  She just returned from Jordan.  Oh what fun memories of Petra, etc.

We came home and KR had a quick bite and we drove down to Rosie's.  It was Frenchie Halloween Day, which we missed being down there almost 1 pm.  But there was still a bunch of Frenchies there.  I walked about 30 minutes on the sand while KR played with Gracie, then we drove home.

I went to my class while KR went to John's to pick up the bee things and to Sam's for cat food and nuts.

Tyler was suppose to come for dinner with Erin at 6 and they arrived at 6 15.  Somehow things spiral down hill and KR and Tyler had a yelling match and he told Tyler to just leave and they packed up and left.  Supposedly they went to Will's.

Will write more later about this.  Too dizzy just thinking about it.  NO meds today

Tyler arrives

KR goes surfing early and then to the church membership meeting.  He is one of 8 or 9 that they have chosen to do the membership thing.  I said no thanks.

I cooked bacon and then kalbi ribs.  Tyler said he would be here about 2 35, ended up arriving about 3 15.  KR brought his giant suitcase in and he started unloading stuff off the back of his truck.  He does not come in to say hi.  I went out to say hi.  He just said "hey", and didn't introduce Erin, his girlfriend of five months.  I had to say hi.  He has no social graces, nor manner.

So they come in and then he said he has to go to Jacob's to unload his drums and as Jacob's parents were out of town they were going to do the jacuzzi thing.  o they left. 

They get back about 11 30 and Gracie of course barks.  Then Tyler barges in and loudly asks how to get the shower going bt he does not say oh sorry to wake you up.  That kid.  I just don't know what is up with him.

We go back to sleep.  FIVE more days of this??????

NOT so bad Friday

I was suppose to work 12 30 - 5 but the Walters ended up canceling.

I cleaned my dental stuff that had been out, so I can get to work.  Faye was a little late, which was good, so we met at 11 30 at Starbuck.  She bought me a drink, too too expensive.  She is one kept up woman.  Nice and neat and well kept, expensive too  haha

I cleaned her teeth and came home.  We walked the dog, and then KR went to feed Mary's cat, BC and I went to feed Julie's cats.  BC was nowhere to be seen.  Finally Mary's sister in law came and found him.

We listened to the remaining 25 minutes of last night's sermon and went to bed.

Tyler said he would be here about 10 if he did not stop to nap.  We shall see.  We had left over steak for dinner.

Thursday, October 17, 2019

NOT so bad Thursday

I had checked my schedule Monday for today, and it was a doozy, but as it approached 9 am, several patients rescheduled.  I think there were over 20 patients scheduled between me and Dr Shiva.  She is really nice and very good.

I got off about 12 15 and went to El Super, buying some stuff for Tyler's visit this Saturday.  I then went to AAA, thinking they sell Disneyland tickets.  NOOOO  Only the two day ones.  THen I rode to the Disney Store, and they only sell the two day tickets too.  We were thinking of buying them for Tyler for his birthday as Erin has never been to Disneyland, but the tickets are 129 DOLLARS EACH !!!!!!!!!   WOWOWOWOWOW

KR finished trimming the podocarpus tree in the back.

We walked Gracie and had steaks from El Super for dinner.  SO yummy.. ....

KR forgot to turned off the gas for a few hours.  I do that, but finally he did that too  hahahaha

We listened to Nazarian sermon and went to bed.

NO yoga Wednesday

I set the alarm and made it to yoga but Amy was late so me and Adele and another half dozen just stretched.  My hip was really sore last night, prolly from walking half hour in the pool.  So the stretch this morning was really good.  KR went surfing.

I was suppose to see Elyse's mom, but she text me last night her mom not feeling well.  So Tuesday Kimel reschedule, and today Bobbi reschedule.  Regina text me and said that the Walter's rescheduled too !!!!!!  Everyone bailed.  Which is ok.

KR weed whacked and then we went to Adele's and planted the little fig tree for her in the front yard.  She left for Indiana,  It was hot and KR dug the hole and filled with some compost and chicken straw/manure.

I had a chance for a ride to WF to deposit the check (from Will Weston) but I forgot the check from Toyota, so after I got home I ran, or shuffled to Chase to deposit the second check.  Then I stopped at the jazuzzi and then walked home.  KR dropped me off at Nazareth, for my 4 pm massage while he walked the dog.  We had left over for dinner and I was tired and went to bed before KR had his ice cream.


Tuesday, October 15, 2019

No work Tuesday

I was suppose to see Kimel but he rescheduled yesterday.

I did laundry, while KR went to screening at Beryl.   Tried the booth for three minutes, still dizzy.

Paid a lot of bills.  Auto, Homeowner.  Property tax.

I road around on my bike, still dizzy.

I tried to take a nap, could not sleep.

Then we walked the dog.  She chewed up a bunch of palm fronds.

We went to dinner at the Velazquez and I was so dizzy.  We did't get home until 10 and KR thought Mondo was whinging about being home and no one to 'community' with him/them.  The dinner was really good.  Steak, and chicken.  Salad, avacado/lime pie and we brought some watermelon, and two plants for Myra.  The kids, Sara, Sam and Ramon were really nice kids.


Monday to Monkey Park

I made it to yoga with Adele and it was pretty good.  Me slow, but steady.  I cooked some eggs for Adele and we had a nice breakfast.  KR went to Chris' bible study.

Then it was cleaning the dental supplies, so I can drive up to Monkey Park.  KR drove me over to pick up the van.  I loaded all the stuff for Jerry, and drove up to Atlantic Blvd.  His office ends up to be just up the street from the condo that James used to live at, just down the street from Brightwood Street.  So after dropping off the stuff, I drove to Shiao Mai and bought some ToGo food for KR.  THen I drove to mom and dad's old house on 1500 Pebbledon.  The new owner had built a fence out in the front, and the jujubes were just falling all over.  I took a couple of pics and went home.

Dropped the car off and watered mom's plants and came home.  KR had trimmed the trees and took a nap.

Doug came by and we gave him four lobsters.  Shirley had an appt today for her shoulder.  The surgery might be next Thursday.  We went and walked the dog and it was really windy.

I could not eat much dinner and we listened to Jeff Gills and went to bed.

Tyler called and said his dog Toby is in impound for biting a kid, barely, in the lip.  His friend's son was in Toby's face and now Toby is in lock down for 10 days.  So now Tyler cannot come to visit with the dog.  So weird that God works in weird ways.  I was wondering if Toby was going to mess with the cats and chickens and now he cannot come.

Tyler was just ranting and raving.  He cannot handle bumps in the road too well.

KR watched a little MMA, and fotoball and we went to bed.

No med today, still dizzy, but not as bad as yesterday.  Maybe the long drive????

Sunday, October 13, 2019

KHC Sunday

KR got Gracie a squirrel, and she cut her lip on the raspberry wire by the sapote tree.  Blood all over.

We got to KHC and the noise and the reverberation was so bad, I actually too about .3 in the middle of the service.  So so dizzy.

Nice to see Nancy, and Linda, etc.

Got home and I went for a ride while KR trim the back yard trees.  He took a nap while I went to class and then went diving AGAIN !!!!

He limited with SEVEN lobsters.  oh wow

Saturday

KR took Gracie for a walk, and I didn't go.  I went to the Core Conditioning class at the Y.  I thought I am in shape?   HAHAHA  Lots of crunches, I could not do them all.

KR had club, so by the time I came back he was gone to pick up Matthew.  They also had pizza and then bowling.  I went riding around and found some Halloween stuff, and two infant bath tubs.  We worked around the house after KR came back and he took a nap, and then went diving.

HE GOT FOUR LOBSTERS !!!  Got two shorts and threw them back.

I took some photos and went back to bed.  Didn't even feel him coming to bed I was so out of it.  No med today.  Very dizzy.

HAPPY Anniversary 34 to US !!!!!

We got up by 6 30 and gave each other a card.  KR bought me a beautiful card.  I wrote a poem for him.

We walked to the Korean store for vegetable for dinner.

KR drove me to work.  Darryl Moore has some big problems with his teeth.  KR walked Gracie and we came home, and I put the brisket in the oven for dinner tonight.

We then went on a nice long bike ride.  Ave C to Dockweiler Beach and back.  Total only about 13 miles.  My hip was hurting.  KR went swimming at Ave C and I ran a little on the beach.  He took a nap and I went to the jacuzzi at mom and put the little truck away, and bring back the apple cider.

KR made the mashed potatoes and salad and squash.  So much food.

Dinner at the Francis was great, EXCEPT...........    Cindy and Tony announced that they are going to quit our small group and look for someone more 'their stage of life'.  I was just floored.  Joann and Tony are going to be our new leaders until the new year.  We ironed out the meeting schedule for the next two months.  Everyone came, and Donna left early as there is KLUB tomorrow.  Mike and Patty looked ok, Mike looking a bit thinner.

We went to bed early

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US !!!!!!!


working Thursday

I overslept and got u about 6 20 and ran out of the house.

It was really busy, but I got done by 12 30  Monica came in and her husband Kina had a perio abscess on #19, with residual cement issue.  I cleaned a little and they are on their way to Chicago tonight.

I didn't stop at El Super.  Came straight home.  I went running while KR took a nap.  Two miles at about 11 minute mile.  Too slow.  Took .25 in the morning, and seemed ok. 

Went to bed early, after listening to some sermon by Saddleback.  Very interesting.

Wednesday

I made it to the 6 am YOGA  with Adele.

My car was so dirty, so I started doing laundry and using the soap water to wash the car.  Took me a few hours to get the car in shape.  KR went to Home Depot and started on the planter.  We brought home some raspberry canes from Diane, and KR wanted to get them going. SO WE CAN HAVE some berries.

I went to my supposedly 1 30 massage, but Nazareth forgot to put it in her calendar,  So I went to mom's and watered the dying plants. 

Coming home, KR was pruning the sapote tree, and I paid a few bills.  We walked the dog and then I cooked the steak.

Tuesday going home

We ate breakfast at the hotel and started on our way home.  We stopped at San Luis Reservoir.  There were no one there, hardly.  KR and Gracie went swimming.  There were hardly any rocks, and had to go find them.  She loved it.

We then drove home, stopping for gas and quick bite at Carl's Jr.  Not stopping at Willow Ranch as it would take us into the traffic back at home.  We got home about 5 pm, and there was traffic on the 405.

We unloaded and I cooked some cod for KR and Diane's giant zucchini, plus eggplant for dinner.

I started rocking so bad when I went to bed.  It was great driving all the way, no dizziness..... 

Wish it was like this all the time........

Chris' Wedding to Lili and the Glen's funeral

Saturday through Tuesday

We were suppose to go up to Diane's early Saturday but Glen Philips died Friday, th 27th and the funeral was Saturday, October 5, so we drove up to Burbank to the funeral.  Stopped at Johnny Carson Park and there was an old car show.

Lots of people showed up for the funeral, plus a whole platoon of firefighters.

We left about 3 PM for Woodside.  Stopped at Willow Ranch for dinner, and got to Diane's by 10.

Sunday we had a little left over for brekkie and then drove to Del Valle Reservoir and Gracie swam, and so did KR.  It was a little too cold for me.  We checked into the Hampton Inn and then to Sailor Jack's for dinner.  It was fab and delicious.

We went back to Hampton Inn.  KR had a bit to drink, two beers and two glasses of wine.

Monday we went to Napa, and did two wine tasting, and drove the Silverado Trail where I ran the marathon forty years ago.  Gracie went swimming at Lake Hennessey.  We got back to the hotel and got ready for the wedding.  KR said it was 2, but it was actually 3 PM.  We finally started and the dinner was right after the photo shoot.  The venue was very nice, The Lighthouse.

We went back to the hotel and went to bed.  KR had a LOT to drink.

AHHHHH resting Friday

NO work today, yipp[[[ppeeeeee

KR went surfing and I rode around.  Stopped by Patty's and across the street there was an estate sale.  I bought all kinds of cleaning supplies.  Although they did not include the laundry detergent and the borax !!!!  Ripped off a little.  Came home and spinning much

KR took a nap, I tried, but could not sleep.  He 'sold' a mulberry tree to the guy at LaZeez Pita for a plate of beef shwarma.  hahaha

He took the dog for a walk while I went to see Adele.  She is such a love.  She and Mary are my two bestest friends.

We listened to a Paul Veggiano sermon and went to bed.

KR started tamsolusin, and still got up twice to pee.

Working Thursday

No 7 am patient, so we continued with the bur sorting, and cleaning, etc.

There was a site visit.  New Western Doctor Shiva is very nice and competent.  Slow day, but the last patient lasted until 1 pm.  I took impression for my night guard and went to Louie's and dropped it off.  Megha also had a patient, Marie from Child Guidance that she made a stayplate for replacing 25, 19, 30, for her reunion coming up and it took quite awhile to get it seated.  I tried adjusting it and finally said to meet Louie at lab. 

Louie took one look and said that because of the path of insertion, it would be a bit loose on the right side where her frenum pull was so she just had to live with it.

Came home and KR was asleep.  He did the screening somewhere in Redondo today.  He has another one next week.  I puttered around, didn't spin as much because I took .25 while at work.  Still no bueno.

KR watched football and I went to bed.

Office meeting Wednesday 10/2/2019

I didn't get up until 7 am.  Completely forgot about yoga.  I did laundry last night so KR hung it out before he went surfing and I went to the office meeting.  New intern, Shiva.  Seems like a nice lady.  Went to Chapman and then Western Dental

I had stopped at El Super for some cantaloupes before the meeting and bought them some pastries.

Got home, Nancy Lim was suppose to come at 11 30 didn't come until 12.  Carissa came too.  Told her what to do with the chickens and cats.  KR took Gracie to Rosie's

Then I had my massage.  Nazareth moved to Palos Verdes Blvd.  Nice location, next to Ace.

Then it was Dr John P Andrawis, at Torrance Memorial which was the old Torrance Orthopedic.  They decided to merge with Torrance Memorial.  I DID NOT HAVE TO WAIT !!!!

They took me in RIGHT AWAY for x rays, and then the doctor showed up even before I finished the paperwork.

Said that if the pain gets too bad he WOULD have hip replacement, wowowowo  Was hoping to hear something else.

Got home and tried to book Miami.  Changed my mind and our mind and booked New Orleans

Tuesday OCTOBER already

No work YIPPPPEEEEEE

KR and I got the new disposal from Costco (yesterda) and he tried to install today..  .....   NO GO....  to tall

I take it back to Costco he goes to Ace Hardward and get the EXACT same one.  Then we find out, or he finds out the J shape pipe was cracked and leaking, so we go to Ace and get more stuff on the way down to walk the dog.

I was too dizzy so I took .25 and felt MUCH much better.  Didn't like the feeling I had yesterday, so dizzy and neck sore.

Had left over for dinner.  KR had chicken sandwich for lunch.
