Sunday

 KR gets up early to go surfing and I change the sheets.  Kurt and Yeye are both feeling ok.  When we go to pick them up, Yeye says he does not understand English so much anyway that he would rather stay home so we leave him there.  

Kurt started getting a little temp when church ended.  We dropped him off and he says the  temp went up to 99.5.  We go to El Pollo Loco to order food.  Then we went back to pick up food for church membership meeting.  We had tacos and chicken with salad.  Not too many people ate.

The membership meeting was amazing.  We are to read these two books, and answer the questions and then there are three more one hour  long meeting and we then have to meet the elders and then we are members.

OH WOW

I went on a ride all around, to drop off stuff at Charity's and then to check  the swarm trap.  No bees

Went back to check on Kurt and he said he is feeling better.  He and Yeye had dinner about 7.  We read a little more of the daily devotional, and went to bed by 8 30 for KR and 9 for me.

Klub Saturday

 KR had Klub  so we walked Gracie early at the beach.  Then he left and I did a bunch of stuff at home.  I rode around the alleys but didn't see anything.  Violet came late about 10 15 and all three of them went to Vermont and 79th for their second shot.  On the way back they stopped at El Pollo Loco for chicken taco and other stuff.  Some how, Yeye got mad and would not eat the chicken.

Violet and I went to Chase bank and tried to  cash the checks, all six thousand nine hundred dollars, but the bank cannot cash even one.  So  she deposited all the checks and wrote me a check, which I can cash next week.

I went back to Yeye and asked him why he was mad and he cannot really remember.  Oh man.  What are we to do for the future when he gets more mad or recalcitrant. 

We had light dinner and read a lot of the daily devotional that we missed the last week.  I have a 53 min talk with mom.  She was really alert and remembered a lot of stuff, like Kurt was there last year and she had a wonderful birthday party with cake and dancing, and that she loves Daddy George.

I had a hard time sleeping through the night, wonder why, kept waking up and can't go back to sleep.

Long bike ride Friday

 We went and walked Gracie at the beach.  Then it was a bike ride.  Will Weston text me that he has the check ready for me.  We picked it up off the door at the office  He was gone.

We rode from Ave I to Dockweiler Beach and my hip started whinging me on the way back.  BUT I MADE IT.

Then Kurt calls that YEYE was whinging about some mail they got that had his and my name on it.  Yeye did not want Kurt to look at it and started walking to my house to give it to me.  We stopped and gave them a ride and dad LOST the paper.  I went back there after his nap and we could NOT find it.  He forgotten he was having a tantrum anyway.  Oh man.  Kurt gave his one month notice to   quit.  We shall see.  

Mary came by and I checked her tooth, #31.  I FORGOT my appt with Chris Bruno.  She needs a new crown on 31 and I wonder when I would have time. 

We had the LAST ZOOM with Mike and Carole and all the rest of the gang was on line and we had a nice hour and half.  We went to bed after the zoom.

ONE PATIENT Thursday

We walked Gracie at the beach, and I text Will Weston to get my paycheck and 1099.  


Today is GA at the office but Megha called me last night, she cracked distal portion of #18, so I went in to fill her tooth.

The anesthesiologist was there, and Megha does the dentistry when he monitor the breathing, etc.  So I numbed her and did the filling.  11 30 to 1 30.  THEN I went to El Super to buy guava pastries and meat.  

I came home and ate and then called Rose Hill AGAIN !!!  To get a refund on the HEADSTONE we bought, that we forgot about when Dad passed away.  Oh well.  They will call me back.  I want to get the 2000 dollars we paid refunded.

We listened to Jeff Gill and went to bed.


KR at gun range

 So we walk the dog at the beach.  Gracie is such a love.

I call Rose Hill and had several conversations with folks and trying to figure out how to sell mom and dad's one plot at Sequoia Lawn space 1 is empty.  Dad was going to be buried next to Fumi, well, he met mom and he and mom purchased another two plots, and now he is at Green Hill.

So many phone calls later, no resolutions yet.  

Then Tyler calls at 11 39.  Guess he is out of jail and wants to come here to live.  His truck is out of order, but I asked him to make a claim if he has full coverage, he does not seem too inclined to do that.  Maybe he does not have full coverage.  He ends up hanging up on me.  

Jamie Murray and KR goes to the gun range at 12 30.  We listened to Mike Djane's msg a second time before he goes.  We don't think there is that much that is offensive, such that Linda Barbara says she is leaving KHC.  

I go for a ride, first to pick up the blue tooth for the phone from Mayor Drive, then around the alley.  Nothing to pick up. 

KR had a good time with Jamie.  He goes to Steve's for a burger and taco.  He takes a nap and I tried to work some more paperwork.

We have very little left over for dinner.  Sarah drops off part of the fried fish.  Very amazing sheephead.  I ate half of it.

Tuesday, February 23, 2021

Light Work Tuesday

We walk Gracie to Hickory Park 

KR goes diving.  I go to work.  He get me THREE FISH  calico, perch (opal eye) and sheephead.  I give TWO to Sarah, and the opal eye to Grace.  She gave us a bunch of old, like really old board games.  One I think was from 1953 !!!!  The boxes were in really good shape.

I go to work and see Ann Griffiths and took out #30, which was in two pieces.  Then it was Monika.  She said Sean and Jim both had Covid.

Kurt didn't want to but went to the Farmers Market.  Only edible thing was a head of red cabbage and cauliflower.  I will cook them tomorrow.

The weather was nicer than yesterday (70), high of 72 today.  I went to Costco and bought coffee.  There were so so many helicopters in the sky.  

WELL, Tiger Wood flipped his car off of Hawthorne/Blackstone and is in Harbor UCLA getting his broken leg fixed up.  He was coming down the hill, just past the high school, and managed to cross and ended up on the ravine on the WEST side of Hawthorne.  OWWWW  that must have hurt.  So many news vans they say.

We walked Gracie down at the beach.  Sarah had STEAK AND GARLIC SHRIMP for us on the way home.  OH WOW

Tyler kept calling and that Courtney was going to have him arrested.  Well, she did.  Guess he has been hitting her, why does that boy think it is ok to hit anyone, let alone a girl?  Oh man


Monday where did it go

 KR goes surfing and I tried to wire John Macy some money.  After numerous tries, I finally decided even though the site says I can send 5000, I really can't.  So I sent 1000 and it went through.  I sent another 1000 via Debit card and it goes through.  He says he will not be able to pick up the money so don't send the rest.  He will figure out what to do once he is there.  They finished quarantine and will do bunch of paperwork and then fly to Iraq.

I tried to do paperwork for Rose Hill.  The weather was really nice and I sit outside for abit.

Kurt tries to do taxes and he JUST WILL NOT PERSEVERE  So he says he will finish later.

Kathy comes and gets food.  I picked up food from Dena, lots of stuff, spaghetti, pasta sauce, mac and cheese, pastry, all kinds of stuff.

Sarah calls and she has three different soups and curry lamb for us.  I send some over to Yeye.  So much food.

We listened to KHC sermon and we  are not sure why Linda Barbara is so upset that he called up KHC and is not going to go there any more.

I fell asleep almost half way through the sermon

Sunday 2/21/2021

 I had a hard time getting up this morning.  We walked Gracie down at the beach.  Promises to be 70+ today while Texas is thawing out.  Church at 9 30.  Violet and dad walked over here   Paul went a little long today.  

KR and Kurt and Bubba and Matthew went down to the beach and had lunch at El Pollo Loco with the EBT card.  Then they decided on Jack in the Box as Matthew wanted that.  They saw Seth, Diane and Eliot on the sand at Topez jetty.  I was home, sunning a bit and listening to books on tape and had a hour long conversation with Eddie on our will and trust etc.

They came back and I cleaned the garage a bit, and cooked turkey burgers.

Linda Barbara said she is quitting KHC, and we are signing up for membership with Branch of Hope.



Saturday, February 20, 2021

Nice Sunny Saturday

 Well, as Texas thaw out from the great freeze, we will hit 66 today and tomorrow 70 and Monday maybe 73.  The news are terrible with people frozen to death and pipes bursting and no water and especially no heat as no one in Texas expect the weather to be like that.  Kurt said that because the Texas grid is only in Texas so if the grid goes down, they cannot get help from other states.  Unlike the Western states, California has western grid with Washington and Oregon so that we can get help if needed.  

It was a cold 43 this morning.  

I checked online and we are getting about 6000 dollars  WOW  And the checks will be issued in 3 - 5 business days.  Violet and I will go to the bank and deposit the money.

KR went surfing and I continued to try to update our will  

He came right back and said that the wind was too much.  We went and walked the dog on the access road between PV and Torrance.  We had not been  there for over a year and the tortoise was still there.

They went to the farmers market and we got about 28 heads of green leaf lettuce and 14 radishes and 8 bunches of beets.  I gave away a bunch of food.  Jon Liu came by and visited a bit, and rode a bunch of food home.

KR juiced the carrots and beets (he cooked them first), hoping for no allergic reaction.  He tried to juice cooked beets and just ended up like trying to juice cooked potatoes, not much juice out, and the mush left behind was very interesting, like mashed beets.

We were going to listen to a sermon but Lovely said to call mom and I had a very nice conversation with mom.  She was alert and smiling and talking.  I sure miss mom.  I can see Lovely is tired of having mom there.

Friday, February 19, 2021

Easy Friday

 KR and I walk Gracie down VERY cold beach this morning.  Then I talked to IHSS lady who is going to go back to September 17 to pay us for DAD care !!!  Y*PPPPPEEEEE  I told her the story of how Violet tried calling the Chinese line and the lady was so so rude to her.  Violet has been in this country so many years and still cannot figure out many many things about the English language.

Kurt hung out the laundry and KR took his bike down to the beach and rode before his lunch date with Bill J and Jim M and maybe others. I did bank reconciliation and stuff, and did more time sheet for Violet, and approved so the money should be coming in in a few weeks, at least several thousands of dollars  

Corrina came to visit Kurt after she dropped off Nico at Hickory.  He started weed whacking.  I told him to get the taxes done so he can get some stimulus money.

So I go see Shrader who also says I need a new hip.  He can get me in mid March, but I think I will have to wait until at least mid April.  I am working for Dr Sata on the 24, and 29 March, and April 6 for Dr Desai.  So I really need to think what I am going to do.  Bear with the pain or go for the new hip.  

KR had THREE BEERS today.  Oh well.  At least he is staying home.  And had a LONG nap

We had Zoom and it was very interesting.  Looks like next week is our LAST week together.  I am sad.

I got notification that the time sheet went through, then notification that all the checks are coming !!!  Oh my  almost 6000 dollars?  I have paid out almost 10000 dollars the last five months to Violet and Kurt.

Working Thursday

 Got to work by 6 45

Easy day, got done at 1.  Found out Kimmie is giving notice, she found a job in Carson and will be working at a new office that she can walk to.  We had King Wings for lunch off of Mimi's 100 dollar bill.  It was really good food.

I brought home a chicken wrap and a chicken sandwich for Kurt and KR.  KR went surfing this morning and Kurt went for a ride around the neighborhood on his bike.  I asked Dr Sata if Kurt can work, and I will pay him minimum wage. Or maybe 100 dollars a day.  She said she will run that by Marc.

Chuck brought over chocolate chip cookies, warm from the oven.  So good.

We listened to a sermon and went to bed.

Wednesday, February 17, 2021

Wednesday

 I could not get up early today.  KR went surfing and Mimi didn't come until 8 20 and Kurt fed breakfast to Yeye who got up about 7 15.  

KR goes surfing, then picked up Donna's mandarinquat tree and planted in the Serenity Garden.  I rode to pick up the van.  3600 big ones later I drove the car home.  I also rode to pick up a napkin holder from Naby, and my CD for my hip.

Then Dr Shrader office text that he is running late.  I text that i will come later as I don't want to wait there but then they said that the appt is canceled since I was not there at the 2 30 appt.  What a weird office.  No wonder I did not see them five years ago for my meniscus repair. 

So I have another appt with him this Friday.

Kurt tried to file taxes and then took a LOONNNGGGG nap.

I go over to Yeye and ONE hour and 11 minutes later I find out that IHSS says Violet HAS to have a change of address !!!!  WHAT????  I told her I have never heard of that?  Why didn't anyone tell us that it is REQUIRED?  At least I used the time to clean the closet of paperwork.  Found the Rose Hill stuff and the Forest Lawn stuff for Nei Nei and Gong Gong.  Oh wow.  We have not been there in years to look at their graves.  Is that going to happen to us about our graves or we should just have cremation and fertilize some tree.

I successfully had change of address done online.  I printed and will fax tomorrow at office.


Tuesday, February 16, 2021

Working Tuesday

 I was so sleepy and KR finally 'woke me' up.  I had four patients, Sher's mom, extraction #19, Mable Duncan, Brandon and Leah Bernstein.  The Bernsteins ALL got Covid at the end of December, and they went to Denver for a month, to stay away and to ski.  They are both well now.

I got off and came home and ate.  I was so hungry.  KR went to Farmer's Market and got SO SO MUCH broccoli, plus four heads of romaine.  I rode around and gave to Kila, Julie, Adele, Maggie and will be giving some to Rita.

Oh, Brad passed away last week Friday.

KR went shopping at Costco.

We went out to Torrance Tavern to have dinner with Mike and Carole.  It was kind of cold out but when the food came, we warmed up a little.  Both of us had a salad, Mike had breakfast burrito, looked good, and Carole had fish and chip.  We picked up some egg plant rigatoni from Maggie Pagan and dropped some off at Yeye's.  

We listened to Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, and I will NEVER listen to him again.  He is VERY sarcastic to me and I thought the message had TOO MUCH politics.  KR thought it was just fine and will ask Bill Johnson to listen.

Kurt did not come home

Monday, February 15, 2021

Monday PRESIDEN'TS DAY

 Well KR goes surfing early, and I do a load of laundry, Mini puked on the bed and I had to wash the giraffe like blanket.  It unfortunately shed all over.  Kurt does NOT get up at 7 and I had to yell at him to get out the door when Yeye was up.  I saw him on cam.

I rode around to pick up these foot booties off of Marjorie, and then KR calls :  OH HONEY, I locked my keys in the car.  RIGHT.  AND the spare is in the car.  I call AAA and drive over to Ralph.  The guy was in the process of trying to get his keys out.

I told him to go get a spare. 

We had left over lunch.  

Andrea and Maribel was here cleaning so nicely.

We took a nap.  I was able to sleep maybe half hour.

We had left over,  lots of it, then Sarah sent more food, like Panda.  Kurt came back and ate my tacos,

We went to bed after listening to Zack Nazarian sermon,

Sunday, February 14, 2021

Valentine's Day Mimi and Warren Birthday

 So we go to Fire road to walk Gracie.  Then it was church.  Denise came for a visit with Gaia and she and Gracie had a great lickfest.

We dropped off Yeye and Kurt and I go drop off vege at Jon's and then we go pick up Yeye and Kurt fooor Mimi's birthday party.  THEN MY DAD got weird again......    Said he was NOT going because Mimi didn't invite him herself.  He is too weird.  So we came home and juiced beets and carrots.

I  cooked a bunch of brussel sprouts, beets and roasted a whole cauliflower.  We listened to Pastor Thrash and went too bed.  It was a great sermon.  Just Get Out Of The Way !!!!

Kurt was suppose to come home by 9 and up and leave by 7 am.  We shall see.  He came home but I was asleep, so when I was up to pee at 10, KR says he was home.

Saturday YMCA Saddleback Love Drive Through

 So he is still mad.  

Oh brother

KR goes surfing and I cooked cabbage and dropped off some fish and vege for Yeye over there, and will talk them into the LOVE drive through at Saddleback.  They had games for kids and FREE TACOS.  We got TWO boxes which were 12 tacos  KR had four and I had one and then he had some more later.  Wow what a church.

Kurt said he and Yeye liked the tacos too.  

KR tried towing me on his bike with that scooter thingy and my feet were numb after three blocks.  We went for a bike ride and didn't see anything around the neighborhood.

We watched SBCC sermon and I thought it was really good and KR thought soso  it was Greg, not Gary.  

I think he is no longer mad.

Friday, February 12, 2021

Friday HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR "OX"

 Woke up early thinking about our tree out front and the sidewalk repair.  So I wrote a long letter to Mike Griffiths.  We walked the dog at the beach.  It was blowing really hard.  Tomorrow is Mark Paulson's birthday and I was so weepy and yelled at him for going away.

We stopped at Michael's and bought RED paper for dad to write on, as today is CHINESE NEW YEAR.

We went for a bike ride around the neighborhood.  Didn't see anything worth picking up in the alley.  When we came home, Mike Griffiths was at the house looking at our tree.  AMAZING  He will ask the city to see why they need to REMOVE two perfectly good flowering plum trees.

I went to my appt with Chris Bruno.  Then it was Zoom with Adele and Julie.  It was great seeing those ladies.  Julie got her second shot today.  Adele and family are still waiting for theirs.

KR cooked the steaks and we went to Yeye's for dinner.  KR got MAD that I was criticising his cooking, when I did not.  He is so out of sort and was mad the whole evening.  

REALLY????

So he went to bed and refused to listen to a sermon, said he had TO READ

Oh brother

Thursday, February 11, 2021

Working Thursday

 So I got to work five minutes late.  I could not find my wallet.  It was in KR's car.

Schedule was light.  It would have been heavier but Mateo canceled again.  I need to finish his cavities.  Mimi came at 10 45 for a filling Occ on #31.  She lost the D portion of the old composite Occ filling and she didn't want me to numb her so I drilled it out and replaced the filling.  She had some recurrent decay on the front portion of the filling.

Then I cleaned her teeth.  She had some tartar, but I scraped it all off.  She left the office $100 dollars.  I told Tracy to tell Maribel if she does not want to report it, we can spend on office lunch or something.

I got done by 12 15 and came home.  KR had made yummy ribs and I rode around the alleys, not much to see, but the heating pad really help the hip lately.

Kurt was at Yeye's for the hour that Mimi was at the office.  She is staying until after dinner so Kurt could have a little time off.  Kurt said he did not finish the Physics lab, and is not willing to do the rest.  What is the matter with that kid?  Always praying for him.  No word from Tyler or Will.  Oh well.

I still don't have my 1099 NOR a paycheck from Will Weston.  I wonder why he thinks he does not have to pay me.

Kurt slept most of the afternoon, with Mooch.

We listened to Mike Djane' sermon but KR said I fell asleep.

Wednesday, February 10, 2021

Wednesday MOVIE night with Matthew and Bubba

 We went and walked the dog this morning.  We also checked the diving condition.  KR said it was too murky so we came home and he went to pick tangerines which I dropped off all over Marble Estates.  I did a load of laundry too.  KR had lunch and a nap  I had to go to Rita's.  Michael called and said that her oxygen was low and she was shaky and could not get out of bed.  I gave her some breakfast and tried to get a hold of Gina.

Then it was lunch and I went back there to help her with it.  BUT I really don't want to clean her portable potty.  I changed the oxygen tanks.

I came back and gave her lunch.

Doug came by and dropped off menudo and a whole frozen duck.  I gave to Sarah to cook.  She said she is going to make soup.  Them Vietnamese drink a lot of soup

I came back and she was having dinner.  I rode her bicycle for about 8 minutes

KR napped and picked up Matthew and Bubba for movie night.  They watched the Ridiculous 6.  Kind of a take off on Magnificent 7 maybe.

I took a shower and went to bed.

Tuesday, February 9, 2021

Tuesday 2/9/2021

 I didn't get up early, KR was up about 5 30 and I didn't get up until 6 30 thinking about Mark and today is three weeks he is gone.  

KR went diving, at Wally's, just past, south of Lunada Bay.  HE DIDN"T GET ANYTHING

I sent the taxes to Iris and paid some bills and called the city about the tree or the sidewalk they are doing.

Mary Eileen brought her chair over and I reupholstered it for her in this very nice deep aqua fabric.

KR got a lot of broccoli and he made cream of broccoli soup.  Many of the tangerines got picked up.  I dropped some vege off at Yuan Yuan's work.  I rode around a little.  Hip hurts more now. 

Got through to IHSS who said that Violet's SS finally came through.  YIPPPEEEE

Sarah dropped off eggs rolls from Brodard's Westminister restaurant.  She gives us so much stuff.

We listened too a pod cast and went to bed.

Monday, February 8, 2021

Monday

 I didn't get up until 6 30  KR had Zoom with Chris Cannon and others.  We walked the dog at the beach.  It was cold but warming up.  He then went to his Derm appt for suture removal, then drop the frig off at the office and a chair for Maribel.  She said it was too low, so KR brought it back.  Stopped at the 99 cent store and bought beer and etc, and Mariscos for tacos.  

I had asked Kurt to mop yesterday and he didn't so he did this morning while I was riding out and KR was gone.  He threw a hissy fit about a bowl left in the sink and I got mad.  Then he went for a run so I guess it is good that he got mad.  When he came back he was a lot calmer.

I also called and paid off Kurt's student loan, as it was going to be transferred to Firstmark next month and it was $2430.40.  Of the original 7000 he paid a lot of interest too, like 1000???

KR went to the rental house and picked a bunch of tangerines.  They were very good.  I posted and so many people want them,

We listened to Pastor Thrash NOT ZERO BUT HERO, and it was great


Sunday, February 7, 2021

Church on Sunday SUPERBOWL !!!

 We walked Gracie down near Knob Hill north past Chris Cannon house.  Then it was church.  My back is still a little tender, and the hip hurts more now that I am moving.

Church was good, on our response to COVID.  There were more people tbere.

Got home and KR went to Home Depot to get manure and I went to Korea Market and bought stuff for our little SuperBowl party tonight.

I rode to Nyssa's house and gave her two or three pairs of Apple headphones.  

KR took a nap and Yeye and Violet came over and we had yummy food.  She made 100 year old egg tofu with pork floss, and we had noodles from  Korea market I bought, and chip and guac, and salad and KR finished the wine he bought yesterday.  They left a little after the half time show.  I just wanted them  to experience Superbowl.  Violet said she has never seen the game before.  I told them James was in the half time show 45 years ago.  

Rita called and said her shower was not working and she needs to take a shower as Sumi was taking  her to get her vaccine shot tomorrow and she didn't shower since yesterday.  I went there and she did not have the on/off knob pulled out.  She just turned it right and left.  Sometimes I get so short with her.  I told her she needs to have someone there more often but she is not willing and is just too cheap.  She then said her room is too cold, I told her to keep her room at 65 then she won't be so  cold.  She had mentioned that the electric bill is too high. 

Geez, she has the money, just spend it and be happier.

On a more sad note, Lovely said if mom gets worse, she will put her in a home.  THAT makes me really sad.

So the FINAL super bowl score  Chiefs 9 - 31 Buccaneers

Attempt to Dive Saturday

 2/6/2021

Today is the THIRD anniversary of Dad's passing.  Three years ago on Tuesday, 4 pm about Unique called and said that dad had fallen.  He went pretty quick after that.

We went and walked the dog from Ave C to Ave I.  She was slow.  It was cold.

KR and Kurt tried to go diving, but there was too much surge so Kurt went body surfing and KR sat and listened to his book and they came home.  

KR went to farmers market.  We got about 18 bunches of FENNEL !!!  I gave most of them away.  I didn't realize that fennel is really good, cut up and in salad.  I ate one.  Sarah wanted four and Daynah got a few, and the rest were gone.

We went down to the beach again and just had a little stroll.  We didn't eat much dinner.


Friday, February 5, 2021

Friday

 Taking an easy day.

KR and I walked Gracie to the park, and that was enough walking for me.  Back better but still tender.  He tried to get to the Vissla wetsuit company to return the L suit he bought.  He says too small for him.  He went down to the Dive N Surf sale while I nursed  my back a little.  He bought a surfing wetsuit and some bands for the spear guy and a new mask.

I went for a ride around the neighborhood.  My hip was really sore after.  Having done nothing for 7 days can take a toll on you.  The first five minutes I thought my thighs were going to quit.

I had an appt with Chris Bruno.  I got side tracked and was a bit late.  KR took a nap in the afternoon.

We had Zoom with the gang.  All were there.  I was tired and went to bed right after.


Easy working Thursday

 So I limped in to work 6 45.   Schedule is light, as they said, and I managed to get off at 11 15.  I then drove to 12000 Hawthorne Blvd, where IHSS is located.  NO LUCK.  No one to take the copy of Violet's SS, no one to talk to no one to anything, so I came home and stopped at the Post Office and MAILED a copy AGAIN.

KR had a heck of a day.  John Macy drove up to LAX directly as he HAD to get a Covid test before he is to fly, and then he drove back to our house to return the car, but he forgot a hand bag in the garage so KR asked Kurt to come to CHUCK E Cheese to drop off and they raced back to the airport.  Kurt had a final too.  It all got accomplished.  And then KR said there is something wrong with the car.  The Odyssey goes CLUNK when you go fast from 2nd to 3rd gear.  Ok from 1st to 2nd.  So we called Mike Grady.

A voice from the past.

His wife Patty had passed away September 2019 from lung cancer.  OH WOW  We dropped the car of and he will tell us what is wrong with it.  It has been a work horse so we want to keep that car.

We had dinner.  Not really.  Violet brought a whole duck and steak and all kinds of food.  TOO MUCH FOOD.  I also sent to Dena's house and picked up more food.  My back is pretty tired from keeping myself upright.  I went to bed and was asleep in no time.

Wednesday, February 3, 2021

Wednesday

 So this is the day to get well for work tomorrow.

KR went surfing but ended up not going?

It was pretty painful this morning and I carefully drove to Jon's house and delivered broccoli and then to Kelby's and delivered more broccoli.  I asked her to lay hands on me and she did.  SHE IS SO SWEET.  I came home and picked up more pho from Sarah.  Dropped some off for Kurt and dad.

I used the inversion table then got ready for Zoom.  First it was the Voco rep, and it was interesting.  Then we had our office meeting.  I just laid around and we met.

After that KR did some weeding in the Serenity Garden.  Went to Costco for gas but the pumps were shut down for repair.  He spent some BIG money at Costco.  147 of EBT money.  Good.

I did billing and bank thing and not much else, trying to baby my back.

We had left over for dinner, more of Denise' salad and Sarah's food.  Wow so much food. 

James left Saigon for the coast.  Going to some sand dunes tomorrow.

Tuesday, February 2, 2021

Tuesday with Dr Moss at BCO

 So my back is so tender this morning.  KR drove me to BCO Manhattan Beach to see Dr Moss.  He admits that I had piriform muscle issues, at least that was three years ago, and Dr Foster did not need to do surgery then.  He took another x ray and we looked at my hip now, some degeneration from last film and and can handle a new hip now.  BUT I say lets wait.

He will send authorization for steroid injection into the piriform I looked up some information, kind of scary.

KR wet to Farmers Market and got all kinds of cauliflower and broccoli.  I gave at least half away.  Still so much stuff left.  Denise came by and dropped off several salads and some yoga pants.  Wow, nice new ones.      KR took a nap.  I couldn't   He also picked up the inversion table from Beth Tsen and I used it and it really helps my back.  HOWEVER, my Bakers cyst is hurting.

James' vitamins came.  He is on his way to the Dunes of Vietnam.  We cannot go anywhere.  Although last week Newsom opened the restaurants to OUTSIDE dining ok.  I was the kids playing basketball at the parking lot of YMCA. 

KR tried taking Gracie to Yeye's but she would not go.  MAYBE she would not go without me !!!!So KR just drove there to vape.  THAT dog.

KR had left over salad and I had tabuli salad and he read the bible and I listened to a podcast about Covid and went to bed.

MONDAY and BACK WENT OUT MORE !!!

 So I got up with only one night sweat, but had to wake up a lot to pee as I drank too much  water, since the wings were salty.  KR got  ready to go and I was trying to get the house ready for Andrea and Maribel.  I was picking up kitty litter poop and turned a little to cough and my BACK GOT WORSE !!!!  It was getting a little better this morning and now I cannot move,  Sarah came by and dropped off a little food.  Andrea came by and helped put the cat food away, brought me my computer and the heater and started cleaning,

I got on hold for IHSS and just about 29 minutes, I accidentally hit END and HUNG my call up.  AAAARRRRGGGGGGG

So I called back again.  My tummy was hurting a bit too as I took 4 advil for the pain.  At least the vax effects are minimal.

So I started some computer work like getting the donation letter out to Marjorie and called IHSS AGAIN.  THEY STILL DON"T HAVE THE SOCIAL SECURITY CARD  

After over an hour wait on the phone

I went to bed and then could not sleep when I woke up at 11.  I coughed a little in the middle of the night and my back was hurting again.

When is this going to end?
