Cabinet King

We walked the dog down at the beach.  Very cold.  It rained a bit and the sun was out too at 1 in the afternoon.

I went to Costco and saw the sink I wanted, Kohler, 299.99

Then I drove to Temple City to Cabinet King and got the cabinets designed.

Came home and went to Howards and got the oven, stove, dishwasher ordered, kind of.  Going to wait until Monday to place the order.

We had left over for dinner.  Kind of.  KR had three bags of popcorn, three beers, and a glass of wine, and then some left over.

We tried to listen to the sermons but he fell asleep in the middle of the first and I got mad.  He said he was not going to sleep.  I should just not play the sermon when he drinks.

oh well

HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2019

Well, it started pouring this morning.  I was really thinking of going to run the Turkey Trot, but Chris Cannon called and said his roof is leaking and Walmart is out of tarps.  We had two we can loan him.  Then we found out our roof is leaking too, at the west side of the garage.  KR went up there to put a shower curtain on  the top with bricks, and it stopped.

KR had been up since 5 am prepping for food and about 1 PM he is done.  I picked up Will from Artesia Transit Center and he helped set the table, clean the closet, moving the clothes so we can start demo Tuesday.

Here is who is suppose to come

Jaime M
Brian M
Rita T
Will
Diamond
Eddie
Me
KR
Jesse B
Ronnie maybe late

So all came except for Rita.  When Will went to pick her up she said she was too tired.,  Will was a lot oof help moving stuff.  We walked the dog around the neighborhood between cooking and serving.

The meal was ready to go about 5 and we ate alot.  Jaime brought a punkie pie and a cherry pie and Rita got a punkie pie.

I had to glue Jesse's temp gold crown back as it came out and he didn't want me to glue the new one as I had it in the car.

It was a very good THANKSGIVING !!!!!!!!

Wednesday no work

Went to Mr. Time to get new battery for KR.  Then to Mary's for the squash, and then to Fred's Carpet for the flooring.

Met with Ben Yong at 11, and gave him two checks of 9000 each to start the work.  We are going to meet with him tomorrow to pick the cabinet door as the one he brought over was too yellow.  Different than the one he brought last week.

Grace McKenna came over for some sensi-strips for her teeth.  I also gave her some varnish which should help.  She got here at 1.  I got a text from Maribel, they are going to start the OSHA thing early.  We got there by 1 45, the original time was 2.

After OSHA, office bought Taco Bell, we went to Fred's to return some sample and pick up another.  The lady there is very very nice.

Came home and I was not even hungry.  Had a chicken leg and went to bed.

I think I hit 109.5 lb yesterday.  WOWOWOWO

We listened to a sermon by Paul V on Romans.

WORK WORK AND WORK

I did laundry, and then went to work.  8 - 5, was suppose to be till 6 but got out an hour early.

KR did who knows what after Oswald.  He took Matthew out to Mulligans and I came home and went to moms/

I RAN TO MOM"S AND MY BACK WAS OK.

Maybe I will run the Turkey Trot !!!

Picked up mom's rx and came home and took a shower and went to bed by 7 45

Monday all over San Gabriel Valley

So KR went to Chris' and I met with Jacob from Los Altos Construction at 7 15.  He measured half way through and said Mouena made the mistake of not taking the different height of the ceiling in the kitchen so it won't work and she has to redo her schematics.  OH MAN.  I left a msg for her and she didn't call me back.

KR picked up Deborah Perkins and brought her over to the condo and gave her a key.  She will be staying there off and on for the month.

I then went to Fred's carpet and flooring, the lady was very very nice.  I looked at all kinds of vinyl flooring.

Then I drove out to the granite place and I really liked what i saw.  Color Marble off of Lemon Street in Walnut.

Then I went to Meigi Windows and Door in La Puente and they had way cheaper doors.

KR was home doing house work, or actually yard work.

I came home and made turkey burger and brought one for Deborah and went to bed.,

Saturday Bible Study

Got up really early, and KR and I walked the dog by Veteran Park, after dropping a box off for Mary D.

Then he took Matthew and Bubba out to Mulligan's and me and Will packed some more.  I went to the post office and mailed a package to Kurt, per Lovely's instruction.  It was to be 65 dollars, if I wanted to send in a box, and if I can cram in a USPS bag, it was 35 dollars !!!!!  Oh wow, so expensive

Then we packed more and KR came back and took Will home while I went to Home Depot, Pacific Sales, Howards, all looking for appliances,  I like Bosch cook top and Whirlpool dishwasher,

Bible Study at Francis.

Friday is taking a easy day

OR MRI DAY

I had an appt for MRI at 8 and it was not as bad as i thought, the banging and all.   Since I had both the lumbar and the hip, it took almost an hour.  I went to the Harbor Transit Center to pick up Will.  He came and helped with a lot of packing, as I cannot do it. 

I felt much better getting up, didn't take two hours to get out of bed.  Still a little tender but much better.

We packed alot and KR went surfing in Hermosa.  Came home and helped me and Will pack.

We walked the dog at the beach and then had Maui Chicken for dinner.  Boon came over and we talked about the design of the "new" kitchen,

Thursday

I guess God is so funny.  I did not have to work today, as Dr Deepa worked.  It took me over two hours to get out of bed the pain was really bad.  KR went surfing, and then to lunch with Howard, Danny, Brian and Steve.  WOW, even Steve showed up.

I tried the traction contraption Chris Bruno lend me, and it was too loose at the waist, and I have to figure out what to do.

I went to see Tracy and the back was better after the electrode and the pins.  I also packed a few boxes.  William is coming tomorrow to help me pack.  Construction should start December 2

KR went to work at MMA.  I am too sore and too dizzy too to go.  Took a shower and went to bed about 6 15 !!!!

Do Nothing Wednesday

So my back, man still out.  I go see Tracy Bailey, and then see Chris.  By the afternoon I was pretty good, but before bed, my back spasm just went high high and up.  I took a little klonipin and did not see to help.

This back thing is bad and throwing me for a loop.  What to do long term?

WORKING Tuesday

Rita Risor canceled so I only had Rita Woodbury, and Rita McKenna, then Doreen for delivery of crown, then Ann Cannon for cleaning. 

Came home about 2 15 and I was so so tired.  Back spasm, and sore.

Cooked some chicken for dinner.

KR had a bacon and chicken sandwich.

He had only one beer and watched a bit of tv

Not Much happening Monday

KR had bible study and I did laundry, still painful, my back very tender.  Wearing the back brace.  I drove down to Anaheim to look at stone etc and took photos.  Took me almost four hours.  I was really tired when I got home.  KR had done the bee thing, and harvested honey, but did not pack a single box.  He also had THREE BEERS.

We were listening to the sermon and he feel asleep again, after I asked him NOT to but he started lightly snoring.

I found more granites that I liked, but who knows if KR would like it.  He was mad at Ben for taking so long so he said CARTE BLANCHE, and I told him to stick with it.

I cleaned up a few drawers and went to bed.

CareHarbor Sunday

I have never been to CareHarbor on the last day.  I got there about 6 50 and the line was very long out the door.  I took the walker.  It really helped as the parking was far from the entrance to the Reef.

Megha, and the girls were all there.  I did triage from about 8 - 12 30.  Had some lunch and came home.  It was El Pollo Loco and very good.  Ben Yong came about 2 30 was suppose to be here at 2.  KR had two beers and was grouchy that it took too long with Ben.  An hour and half was too long.  He has no patients when he drinks.  And he is short tempered and rude sometimes.  He does not seem to think so.  He wanted to walk the dog.  And I had to drive because "HE CANNOT DRIVE WITH ANY ALCOHOL IN HIS SYSTEM", per his controlling wife !!!!

We finally drove down to the beach.  Ir was 91 degrees today, and tomorrow will be 86 and KR wants to harvest honey as it will be raining about Thursday, at 64 would be cold.  We got a bunch of boxes and will start packing the stuff up.

He went to bed, and didn't even say goodnight,  I went up there and told him how he gets mad if I go to bed without saying anything.  He said he was "tired".  Oh man.  I wish he would stop drinking.

MMA at Beacon House, Saturday, 11/16/19

So I go to MMA with KR to see Darryl Moore.  Got him moved up to the front of the line and KR took the tooth out, #2.  I came home and brought a dental chair, the doctor stool I needed.  Begged Jeff Yamane to come, and he did.  What a trooper.

I went to meet with Mouena Richards at Home Depot, for over one and half hour, designing the kitchen.  So many things to choose from, and I just can't figure out what to do.  We did put some stuff on paper, and decided which drawers is what.

I came home and KR was home from MMA. 

Darryl called he is still bleeding, and is concerned.  He went to Torrance Memorial, and they admitted him as his blood pressure was too high.  He finally stopped bleeding about 8 pm.

We went to Joann and Tony's for bible study and dessert bar.  EVERYONE showed up.  It was great great and great.

Came home and went to bed.

Had not been able to sleep well.  Gets up to pee and then cannot go back to sleep.

NO CareHarbor for me

KR and I get up about 5 30.  Too much pain to do anything.  He leaves for CareHarbor and I just sit at home.  I did manage to do laundry, dragging a little bit of clothe down at a time.  Maggie Pagan brought some advil over and I have an appt with Curt Lee before he is to order MRI.

Went over to Christine house and bought leggings.  She posted on NextDoor, 6 dollars a pair and I bought 20.  Got 3 for Amy the yoga teacher, and some for the girls at the office.  Megha, Maribel, Tracy, Yvonne, Kim, Monica, six total, and one for Adele.  One for Mary Eileen.  That leaves me with 9 to keep or give away. 

I got the order for MRI from Chris Bruno so I canceled the appt with Curt Lee.  I also went to Urgent Care on Sepulveda.  Christine said they were really fast.  I got a shot of dexamethasone, and Toradol.  They were quick and efficient, the doctor saw you and the nurse comes and give you the shots.  I felt better coming out. 

I came home, and KR called and said he was done with triage, and not wanting to work in the clinic and came home.  We had left over and went to bed.  Tomorrow is another LONG day.

KR works for me

So much pain getting up and getting dressed.

KR drives me to work and he works for me about 7 - 9 am, delivering crowns and doing some fillings.  We go home and I cannot move,.  Had lunch and then drove out to Walnut to meet Ben Yong, to look at stove top, dish washer, etc.  Flooring was at another place, and finally arrived home about 4 30.

I took a bunch of pain meds, advil only, and went to bed early.

Adele cooked tuna for us last night, so good.  KR had a pastrami sandwich for lunch.

AHHHH MY BACK WENT OUT

Made it to the 6 am yoga and while warming up, my back went out.  I cannot sit and rotate my torso.  Adele drove me home and I went and laid down.  KR walked the dog and went for a paddle.

I stayed in bed almost all day.  Back sore.  Put on back brace.  Took a muscle relaxant and 3 advil.

KR went to Nazareth appt at 2, and took me to see Chris Bruno at 3 30.

Felt much better, hope tomorrow I can work

Went to bed early, as usual

Much work Tuesday

Did laundry.

Saw Jesse at office, prep #18

Then lunch with Jesse.  KR was suppose to come at 11 30 but he didn't show until 12 30, and I went back to work.  Saw Kimel at 1, delivered crown and then fill #14 MO. 

Went to Trader Joe and then saw Darryl Moore at 3.

Went down to the beach walked Gracie with KR.  Came home to left overs and went to bed.  Listened to another sermon.

Monday meet with Ben Yong

I made a mistake.

I had made an appt with Ben Yong, the contractor at 12 00 and thinking my appt with Chris Bruno was at 2 30.  NOOOOO  My app with Chris was 12 30, and so KR took that appt.  Ben was running late so he came at 12 30 and KR came back to meet with us both after his appt.

I made it to the yoga with Adele at 6 am

I rode around and took pictures of Mary Rudisille's kitchen and the surfer guy around the corner and I will modify them all for our needs.

Still very dizzy, no meds for almost two weeks???? 

Went to bed early, after listening to sermon.

Our New Orleans Trip

Wednesday through Sunday

Easy Peasy Tuesday

KR went to Oswald, and I slept in.  Went walking the dog at the parking lot, Dirty John not started filming yet.  The movie trucks have been there for a few days.  Then KR went to pay his ticket and I went for a massage with Nazareth.

Came home for a little lunch, then appt with Chris Bruno.  He really worked on my hip and it feels much better.  KR and I then went down to the beach.  I ran about 2 miles while he walked Gracie.  Came home and ate dinner and went to bed.

Packed for the trip too.

Made appt for Home Depot design to come and measure for new kitchen.  Next Tuesday.

And it is now Sunday night, can't remember what happened the rest of the evening.  Think I started packing !!!!  Tomorrow we leave

Gracie with eye infection

I spent over four hours cleaning the garage and doing laundry.  Oiled the rollers, cleaned the windows, wiped the spider web off, etc.  KR went to Chris' and then took Gracie to see Dr White.  125 dollars later.  He then went to see Chris Bruno, for his back, and he feels much better.

We unloaded the wood from Kurt's truck and I helped him cut it up with chain saw, me holding the pieces.  I parked the car back, watered the plants at moms, and came home.  Had dinner, went to bed, listened to Jeff Gills sermon

Sunday

Walked Gracie at the parking lot.  Trailers pulling up for the tv show Dirty John filming.  Whatever that is.  Saw Bill Brand, and gave him my number for work.

KR finished trimming the tree, after he got Gracie a squirrel.

Me dizzy from the morning.

KR goes to the 11 am service, on his bike.  I ride there too but at 12 30  The Velazquez lunch of tacos was good.  KR eats four tacos.  We left about 1 30.  Jesse came over and I glued his gold crown in, #18.  It came out again.  He made an appt for another crown.  That one is about 20 years old.

I go to my exercise class

We had very little dinner.  KR had popcorn

Went to bed after listening to a sermon.

Cold Saturday

I didn't get up until 7 30 which meant I had 11 hours of sleep !!!!  We walked the dog and then stopped at Ace hardware.  KR bought pipe stuff to repair the pipe he severed yesterday, in the YMCA lot.   Then he replanted the mulberry.  I went to pay the AAA bill, and the HOA bill.  Also dropped off a milkweed plant at Nyssa's house and picked up a phone case.

KR took down the Halloween decorations and I mopped the upstairs floors.  We went to RHCC 5 pm service.  Came home and changed the clocks and i went to bed, we listened to Nazarian sermon.

Working again, Friday 11/1/19

Kathy calls me at 8 and said Darryl Moore is there.  He is suppose to be at 9, but I rushed down there and saw him.  Then Doreen came for the crown prep.  It was really hard to section the crown between 13/14 as the PFM's were made of hubcap metal !!!!  I finally sectioned the joint, then I had to cut the whole #14 off.  Took me about 7 burs.

Took the impression, and came home after making a single unit temp.  I went for a ride.  KR cleaned and cleared the serenity garden, and planted a mulberry tree, but severed the water pipe.  Will have to fix that later.

KR went to Dan Bradford's house for the missionary meeting, and I was in bed by 8 30.  Had a short conversation with mom.
