Thursday IF it is Thursday it is work day

 I didn't  set an alarm but 6 05 i was up.  KR was still asleep.  I quickly got dressed and out.  The new extern Jacob is there.  Diamond finally came in at 10 and  we took FMX and I cleaned her teeth.  She has  some real problems.  But we will take care of it.  She was good, a bit tender with the cavitron

I got done almost 1 and came home and KR was asleep and I went for a ride at 1 30  only 4 miles. Then KR and I went to walk  Angel at the Fire trail  and i did  some stretching exercises while we walked.

KR had left over ribs  and vegetables. 

Kurt had work, KR thinks about 12  to 6

I w as in bed before  9

Henry Kissenger died today at age 100.   I don't think I wanna live that  long

KR also fixed my f lat tire AGAIN yesterday.  I ran over some glass I think

WHat happened to Wednesday

 So  this  is Thursday a nd I  dont remember what  happened to yesterday

Also this computer is  driving me  nuts.  Can't type,  think the  keys are dirty and should blow some air through maybe would clean so the space bar would only  have  ONE space instead of alot of  spaces.

We went  walking the  dog  together.   I think I  am getting fat because  I am not  walking out there with KR at least  once a day so w e  went up to the  fire road.  That was in the morning.  I also went to  99 cent store to   buy some batteries for the garage door opener.  It worked !!!   Now I just need to  find all the other ones and sync them to the garages, at mom's

Then Ia lso  went for a run when KR took Angel for a walk  in  the afternoon.   It was a  slow run at 13.44  but for 2.7 miles

Still too fat

I was in bed by 8 30, ready for work tomorrow

Tuesday and it is FM !!!

 If it is Tuesday, it is Bible  Study and FM

I could not get out of bed until 6:15.  KR had just left.  Now I am a little under 110, at about 109.5 in the morning which is good.  Getting TOO  fat over Thanksgiving.

Today is Abby's birthday.  She is 24 I  think.

KR took Angel for a walk and I went to see Dr Wong and Dr Liu.  The acupuncture always hurt a little but I think I fell asleep.  Dr Wong really worked on my hip and right knee. I also went to see another used car for  Will.  This was  a 2013 Toyota  Corolla for  5900$  with 110,000 miles, but the car was  FILTHY !!  He had started cleaning it but the area between the seats was full of crumbs and grime.  NOPE no can do.  Also the mirror cover was gone on one side.   He says he would sell quick,  I guess, but I just cannot get this much dirt out.  

I cooke some vege  soup from FM.  Very  very good.  

KR took a nap and took Angel up to fire road.  I delivered some vege to Fariba and Nancy and Sarah.  

We had  Bible Study.  Chapter 15 of this rather boring  book.   The Excellencies of God

Monday

KR wanted to go surfiing so he was up early and left by 6 30.  HOWEVER, surf died down from last night so he came back.  Kurt had work at 8:30 and then came home a bout 11 and left again at 12 30 and went back to work.  

Doug (from KR's Monday morning group) came over and fixed the plugged line and all is well, and I ran the dishwasher and it did not plug up.  Doug was going over to Chris Cannon's next.  I was going to do laundry but waited until tomorrow.  

I cooked pork roast on the BBQ and had a conversation with Dr Wong.  He text me his daughter's mouth  pictures and I sent him to Arash, and Dr Wong has an appt tomorrow.  She should have had first phase ortho, as #9 is in crossbite with the lower anterior.  He has an appt with Dr Arash tomorrow.  Arash thanked me for the referral.  

We walked Angel to the park

KR took a nap after two beers and took Angel for a walk after nap.

Sunday

 I slept in late.  Like 7 am.  We walked Angel to Veterans Park.  Kurt came home for church.  My back is still whinging me.  KR went to church early for usher duty.

Saturday

It was NOT too warm, kind of cloudy day.  FM didn't have ANYTHING either.  No lettuce for the girls.  Buffy is still with us.  I have to make sure she eats, by feeling her crop, before I put her to bed.  

I got 8.5 hours of sleep but the sleep score was 85

We ate more left over for lunch and I cooked the prime rib, one bone, for dinner with garlic.  Kurt went up to Corrina's for over night.

Jaime M came over and tried to clear the sink.  No go.  The plumber is coming on Monday.  I brought a bunch of stuff to mom's and cleaned up the garage a bit and vacuumed.  

I am going to see a car tomorrow.  A newer Honda.  Still trying to get a car for Will

I accidentally wore the hearing aids to the shower.  I really like them, as they are BLUE TOOTH, so I can listen to books on tape without wearing external headphones.  

Friday

We never  shop  Black  Friday so it  is just a  regular day for us.

While KR walked Angel, I biked 8.9  miles, first to drop off food for  Deron, and of course he says he is not getting any sleep at all and has no appetite.  He does not look skinny, and he looks like he is getting some rest.  But hey, you cannot convince him that he is sleeping.  I also rode the alleys, NOTHING to be  had.  

We had left over,  and  KR tried to clear the sink, ended up getting greasy food all  over the garage floor.  

Kurt had Corrina spent the night after their night  out to Culver City and they didnt get up until late.  Most of the pecan pie got given away.  

I did some stretching while KR watched a lot of football on FUBO tv.  I need to figure  out which statiion to subscribe to.  

I was in bed by 8 45 and got NINE and  half hours of sleep, but the sleep score was only 79

Thanksgiving Day 11/23/2023

Kurt was up late again, so we got there barely and the Stars Spangle Banner was sung and  OFF WE WENT

I did  it !!!!   With a back brace and  under 10 min per mile.  So many  people

My watch said first  mile, 9 58,  second mile 9 55, third mile  9 30  WOWOWOWO

Then it was fast and furious to get the turkey in the oven.  I loosely stuffed it so it can bake faster.   At 3:35, the temp was about 165 so 15 min later it was DONE !!!!  I took the other two stuffing to mom's oven  to bake.  

Jaime was the first one here and he said he had a loose  crown.  We took out the IRM and KR  glued it  back.  Everyone came all at once.  Helen  made  great mashed potatoes.  There  was  hardly any left  when everyone took s ome left over home.   Harmony made this really good  korean spicy cucumber.  

Will and Diamond left and Diamond left her purse.  The  Kaplan kids  came over with a pecan pie.    I  posted online and everyone wants a piece.

Kurt and Corrina cleaned up and then went to a party in Culver City.  Corrina spent the night.   They got  back about 1 am.  

Ellen  text me about 8 and asked if we were still  going, I said NOPE  going  to bed soon.  

WHAT A BLESSED THANKSGIVING !!!!

Wednesday and it is PIE cooking day

I put the pumpkin Yuli gave me and steamed them and made two pumpkin pies.  They turned out pretty good.  I also sauteed the vege for the stuffing and cooled and ready for stuffing tomorrow.

KR walked Angel after she barked for hours and   KR  tried to shoot the s-thing but no go and it went  on  like all morning.  

I baked the pies and got things ready.   KR  dropped off Charity's turkey on  his way down to the beach.   

KR went diving and got  five lobsters.

I went for a 8 mile ride, not much to get around the alleys.

I also cooked some broccoli with zuks and red cabbage for KR's dinner.

We were in  bed by 9 30 and  I g ot  up at 6 30 for the  run

Tuesday and it is a work day

 So I had to work for Monica.  Don't  know where she went but t he day was  not  bad.  I got there by 7:45 and no extern so we worked HARD.  Most of the  patients showed up and KR went  and picked up  Will and we took  an almost  FMX and he has at least 10 cavities.  I am so sad that he needs so much work and there  is so much calculus I had to use cavitron for a LONG TIME.  I also did  some caries excavation and put some Limelight on  B of 19 and then Riva over the top to hold it for now.  He will need so  many SDF  too.  

I didn't h ave time  to drive him back  to Long  Beach so  i  ordered a Lyft for him. 

I also  saw  some weird external  resorptions on a  kid.  

I  got done at  a little after 4 and  went  to Ralphs  and  got  a bunch more food  and a turkey for Charity.  She said she and  Harmony and maybe her parents  will come  to  our dinner.   That would be fun.

I had a hard time sleeping.  However, back down to  under 110   GOOD

KR went diving and  limited    Lots of lobsters.,  We gave two  to Patty  two to Maribel (the next day)  and we froze some

Monday and it is FAST and furious

 I was up at  6 15.  Got  8 hours of sleep last night.   Cleaning and cleaning before Andrea and Maribel come to clean.  Yup, getting the chicken cage  out, and putting things away that I let accumulate the last  two weeks.  Kurt went to work early and he was up early too, by 7.  I tried driving the Prius to South Bay hearing appt at 9 but the car would not start.  I rode my bike over and picked up the Honda and drove there.  Matt Young was  the doctor who examine me and paired Liz Kaplan's hearing aids to my hearing.  WOW I CAN HEAR SO MUCH BETTER!!!

Came home and brined the turkey.  Ate some soup and tried NOT to eat too much.  I wt in at 112 this  morning.  TOO HEAVY.  With the TURKEY day eating coming up, I need to be down to maybe 107 to  be able to really eat.   

I bought bagels, and had a cup of free coffee.

I biked about  8.2 miles and picked up a comforter.

KR text me and said he was on his way home.  He got home about 4:30 and we walked Angel to the park.  She would not go with Kurt yesterday.  

KR had the left over from Patty,  El Tarasco delicious food.   

Sunday

 I am getting  FATTER

I must slim down but  the eating of  all the  yummy food that we keep getting.

Back up: KR left for Santa Barbara/Hollister Ranch this morning about 7:15 and I changed the sheets.  Kurt was home all day, as  Corrina and Helen were up in Big Bear doing maintenance things so we watched the sermon online.  My back was still whinging me, so I wore the back brace all day.  

THEN:  Patty across  the street brough  over LOTS and lots of food.  It was David's birthday, and they had left over rice and beans and cooked fajita like vegetables, and salsa and  chips and beef and chicken.  There was so much food.  Kurt  ate some for breakfast/lunch and made some tacos for his  lunch tomorrow.  I gave away alot of it to BNY but there is still a lot left.  

I went for a bike ride, picking up the tree skirt that I dropped off at the wrong house and went to the correct house.  I also rode around the alley and got these nice Christmas plates.  There were some glasses but  I could not carry them on the bike.

I also msg this guy Jonathon on Market Place for a car.  He goes to Kings Harbor Church.  I was gonna go see the car but he could not be bothered to msg me back after he had sold it !!  He is a friend of Dan Bradford and Jason Flynte too.  What a way to act.

I was in bed by 9

Saturday and it is TRAC dinner

 So  KR found out a few  days ago that the TRAC dinner was tonight.

He took  Angel on a walk  as my  back was bothering me.   Maybe it  was the  dancing last night.  Dang.

Kurt slept for almost 13 hours, and got up and did his laundry and empty the dishwasher.  I had taken some of the plastic plates home and washed them.  I ran another load and will save those dishes and use them until they fall apart.  

KR went to church for the dinner and got ready for his trip tomorrow.

Kurt was suppose to enroll for his  health insurance, and OF COURSE he procrastinated and it was due  by last night and he could not get in to enroll.  I told him to beg and see if he could still enroll.  Sometime that kid drives me nuts.   He just puts things off until  the last minute.

Friday Gooch party

 We  were up  not  too  early,  at least  I was not

We  walked the dog at the Service Road and after  the rain, it  was not too sandy, and it was not too cold.   

I cleaned up some of the stuff from the linen closet and took some stuff to the  garage.  There is always  too  much stuff in the garage.   I biked  9 miles andt hen again after  KR  went to bed  6 miles

My back was pretty good and then it was not.

We walked Angel to the park and then got dressed for the Gooch party.  40 year vow renewal at KHC and there must have been over 100 people there.  Jason presided over the vows and we had Guilliano  sandwiches with Randy's donuts and salad. What a great  party.  All  the Gooch's were here.  Sarah/Chris,  Leah/Henry and the grandkids.

We  were home pretty early.  My back was sore.

Went to bed at 10 and got up at almost  7

Working Thursday

Tracy called me yesterday saying that my 7 am canceled.   So I slept in and left at 7:30.  My 8 am was there already and we started. KR came in to do two root canals.  First one #8 and second one #19.  It took him from 9:30 to almost 12.   He is a good man!!!

I was done about 1 and today is Neda's last day.   Next week, no extern, as Western is on vacation.  Man, Tuesday might be REALLY  bad.  

Got a text from Will, he just got a TracPhone and a new number.  Diamond got her mom's car so they have a car now.  Now I am not in such a hurry to get them a car.  I text  Marcus to see if he would sell the Toyota Corolla for 5500$ he said no so I thanked him and will keep looking on Market Place or  CarVana or something.  

Wednesday and BIG (sort of) rain

 So  it is suppose to rain and it did

We w ere up  early and it was cold.   I looked at the heater andthe batteries were done so I  put new  ones  in and says it i s 64 but it feels like 54

We will have to turn on the heat soon

KR went  to walk Angel and I stayed home.  I cooked some very good bacon with asparagus and made a good sandwich for Kurt.  He didn't go to work until 12.  KR dug the root out and filled two cans of green  waste.  

The rain started about  11 30 and just sprinkled first then got heavier and at one point, just poured.   I went  to Carson to look at a car for Will and  Diamond.  It is a Civic and they wanted 6000$ wow so much for a used car.   

I stopped at Red Robin for some pastry.  Then to Numero Uno for some groceries.  They had remodeled the store.

Got home and picked up spaghetti sauce from Sarah and  KR made spaghetti and had it for dinner.  I also bought a Roku stick from Walmart.  I plugged it into the TV downstairs  and KR watched a really cheesy  western.

Tuesday CHIRO and FM

 If it is  Tuesday, it  must be bible study and FM.

Monday

 KR is a little more friendlier.  But  I think he is drinking too much.  He had two 16 oz IPA today,  I trieda  sip did not like it.

KR had his Monday morning group  

We went to Veteran's Park and Angel  had a great time chasing the s things.  I made turkey soup after buying some celery from the Korean store.  KR pruned the mulberry tree and  took down the peach tree.

I could walk better today.  My back not so sore.   

I biked when he went down for a nap.  Almost 11 miles. Didn't see anything good in the alley. Teresa Ho dropped a lot of food off last night.  Kurt had work all day, except about an hour in between clients.  He  said he needs a new job.  I cut out something from the paper  that he  can apply t o.  But who knows.

Tyler  has been s ending  nasty   texts  when KR asked him to apologize for h is behavior past May. I don't  know what is with that boy.   He thinks we have done him wrong,  but who knows what is in his mind.    

So I guess he is not coming to visit  anytime soon.  

I was in bed by  8:47 and  got up at 6

The Ingram Wedding Cameron and JT

So we left Saturday afternoon a bout 12 30 for the wedding.  Violet got us a room at Pechanga, very nice  856  on  the 8th floor over looking the pools and the golf course.  We got to the wrong place first, the casino and the hotel are at separate ends.  There were so many people gambling and it was huge.  Even has a people mover to  move people so they don't have to walk as much.  The prize of the day was an Espresso Maker. Evidently if you join the 'CLUB" you get a prize.

Geez, maybe that is why Violet has so many of these gifts.  She gave us a counter top griller,  plus a dutch oven, and a back pack cooler.  The things are really cool but she is gambling too much, according to Mimi, she has not quit.

We quickly got dressed and drove back to Temecula Creek Inn,  which is only 2.5 miles up  the road.  Phil  and  Jackie  were  there already so was Joost and his wife.  We took a polaroid and wrote a msg for the bride and groom and kissed Denise.  That dang Mark.  He should have been there.  Almost  three  years that he is gone.   

As soon  as the sun went down it was COLD.  So cold that my feet were frozen.  I wore Emma's silver shoes.  And they made me very dizzy as they were high heel  platform shoes.   The  ceremony was great and  the  food  was very good.   Buffet style filet  mignon or chicken with  potatoes  and asparagus and salad.  KR had  much  to drink in my opinion, two beers and maybe five glasses of wine.  We got in a fight back at t he hotel   We always get in a fight when he drinks.   We  slept on separate beds.

Sunday morning,  I guess in his  eyes I was not acting right,  so he said lets go home and go to church.  I had wanted to go see the Osritch farm, but he drove home like a bat.  We got home about an hour.  I even had  time  to put the  turkey in the oven before we left for church. Jun and Corrina stayed over and they were having breakfast of  eggs and cinnabons.  

We came back and KR  had four turkey  tacos  and took a  nap after  some IPA  beer.  Kurt has a lot of alcohol left over.   At least KR won't have to buy beers for awhile.   

He walked  Angel while  I went  on a bike ride. 

My back started hurting Friday  and is still hurting me today. 

Saturday 11/11/2023

 CAMERON'S Wedding

We were up early and KR got a squirrel.

He took Angel to the fire road and brought the Honda back from mom's.  I washed the sheets and asked Kurt to make  our  bed.  

KR  went to  FM and gota

FRIDAY and my back is no good

So I got  up and the back felt a little weird.  That SHOULD be my clue NOT to do anything.  But NOOOOOOO

At least the Prius is now clean.

I go get a car wash at Costco a nd  then clean my car after.  Which involved a lot of bending  and wiping.  My back did not like it and all dayI did not do anything but lay around and try not to get more hurt.   I could not   ride my bike and walking  was a pain so I did not go walking with KR at all.  I did cook some  fajita with ground beef for Kurt's dinner.

We met Joe and  Kimel at Black Bear Diner for dinner and it was grand fun.  Then service was not too good  because the server was way over worked.   We met them at 6 and didn't get back until 8 30.  We  must do that again, except in Signal Hills.

Kurt put the chickens away and went up to Corrina to watch TV and he spent the night.   

Buffy had a couple of seizures and is still eating.  However in the afternoon I  could not  find her,  she  had  walked all the to the corner by Ramons and could not find her way back.

I only got 7 hours of sleep last night. 

WORKING Thursday

So KR had to wake me up this morning.  I thought I would be up myself but nope.  But it was easy getting to work on time. Jose Ramos was already there  and his crown fits like a charm.  I cemented it. I didn't get off until 1 had a late patient.  

Kurt went to work at 9, said they sent him an email to be in  the office,  at 2 yesterday afternoon.  I don't understand  why he thinks he should not check his email regularly.  He didn't get home until 7.  He got offered health insurance and he wanted me to pick for him.   Nope.  I told him to do some homework or ask HR.  

I cooked some very delicious pork chops, and vegetables for dinner.

KR's Valor School meeting was over four hours.

I am getting fat. No longer under 110 in the morning.  Needs to stop eating the spicy potato chips.  Best thing is NOT to buy them.

I got 8.5 hours of sleep with  sleep score of 81

WOW

I biked a little over 9 miles

Wednesday OFFICE MEETING

 So KR  went  surfing,  and I  went  to  the office  meeting  and Kurt went to work.    The meeting went long  and we talked about all kinds  of stuff,

I went to Costco  Business but here was NO  GUAVA except in cans.   I went to NorthGate   grocery and  bought 150 worth of gift cards for the two families that I  offered to get stuff for on   BNT.

KR  said there was  no surf and  he had lunch and then napped.  I did not nap and went for a 5K run !!!!

YUP    I DID

I  did 12 min pace almost for three miles.

We walked Angel to the park and then jacuzzi and bed.

Kurt didn't get home until 6 30.

Tuesday and a day of lounging NO !

 So  KR had his bible  study and was up early.  I was up early too by 5 35

We went to the beach and walked Angel to Veterans Park.  They were mowing the lawn so not too many  squirrels.

After KR went to FM I went  fora ride of only  2.2 miles.  We got a lot  of  bell peppers and  tomatoes  which I  gave away,   Only one cantaloupe that Buffy enjoyed.

KR had a nap and I went for a ride but the watch  died so I didn't get  the milage

Bible study w as good.  Pam baked  some yummy s tuff.  We h ad  Anita, Pam, Karen,  Mike, George, KR and me

I was t red.

Monday and Andrea cleaning

 I just love it  when   Andrea and Maribel come to clean.  

I was up by 5 and KR had Zoom with t he Monday group.  On the news says Texas Loosey restaurant went up in flames.  We drove by on t he  way to the beach  and  it  was just a mess.  Dr Joe next door  was also half burnt up.   Poor guy.  All  his  equipment  gotta   be a total lost.  The  smell and the  water.

We dropped off some masks (N95) at Trent's office and some some at Tom Omoto's  office.   And later during  the  day I  dropped  some off at Puche's  lab.

Andrea and  Maribel did a great job.   Kurt said his 10 30 canceled so he came home for lunch and a short nap.  

I also rode for 9.7 miles

KR  watched some  football and  we were in  bed by  8

Church and our RUN SBCHC Sunday

 So day  light savings was  last night.   THANK  goodness  so we  had  another hour o f sleep, kind of.

We were up early  and I  was ready for THE  RUN.

I got Kurt up and KR agreed to be the  photographer and took Angel up with us.  Corrina  came down the hill and there was an accident  on  Hawthorne and  all the traffic was rerouted so she was late, but  the race was also delayed 15 min.

We were off  about 8 15.  I  had stretched a lot before and my hip was   NOT bothering  me.  I just could  not breathe and  the  horse poop w as not  too bad,  but the  dust was very  dusty.   I finished about  31 50 which was  pretty good.   I  was so so  exhausted.

KR had to   leave earlyfor church s o  Michael Gooch  drove me  and  Kurt home.

Our team  was named  of  course  YBNrml.   There  was me, Kurt, Corrina, Tony Yeh, Kym  S andher two kids Maddie and  Joe, Mike Gooch,  Charity but   Harmony didn't come.  She  didn't feel  well.  

After church,  KR  stayed and h ad chili and  didn't wait  fort he  pie. T here was the  contest. He took anapa nd  then took Angel for a walk.   I  was  too tired.  We were  in bed, at  least I w as  by 8

Care Harbor Saturday

So we w ere up early and got there by  7:05.  We were prolly one of the earliest ones  there. There were  some old hands,  but a lot of new.  It was at LA TradeTech,  which has changed ALOT since I took the checker course for Lucky market years and years  ago.  

Marisa Watanabe from Western Dental School came and so did Hubert Chan, and neither wanted to be the lead so I gave the orientation talk and it gots tarted.  It was really slow in the beginning,  then started moving.   We could not get the printer to bridge to the lap top at first, then Hubert got it working.

I  did some triage, and answered a lot of questions and then at 12 we went and had  El Pollo Loco chicken lunch and came home.  KR took a nap and I tried.  I went for a ride, not too far, as tomorrow is the race.  

Katherine Crookston lost her PFM on #4 and came over and I cemented it back with IRM. 

Kurt did his laundry  and not much else.   We had spaghetti and meat sauce for dinner.   

11/3/2023 Friday

 It was aw arm  day again

KR   and I went to the  servcice  road  to walk Angel.  The crew  was cleaning all t he brushes aroundt he road and a lot of small trees were taken down.

KR  also made spaghetti sauce with the last of the canned tomatoes I made

Kurt  had work early i n  El Segundo but got off early a s thelast kid canceled and he went for  a  swim

KR  went to  drop soup  off  for Maria  and  I  dropped  the Prius  off for new tires.   I got two of the  cheapest and it wass till 188$ out the  door.   I w ent  to Chase to  pay  James' credit card bill, and had to run  tot he Chase  off of  Carson. I then   stopped at the Last  Chance  Store.  T here was so  much  interesting stuff  but so many people I just couldn't do  it.

I stopped at Ralphs to pee  and received the  text that my car was ready.  Went  backt o  pick upthe car.

After lunch I  went biking for  9.3 miles.   No  wonder  my arches were sore.

Bed was 8  and fell asleep a t  8 15 and got up a t 5 30

Working November 11/2/2023

So today's  work was not  that  bad.  However we had an interesting case.  Yesterday one of the kids came  in  had lots  of decay, but both doctors   Dr Desai and Dr Neda missed that the pt had  both R and 27 at the same time, and should have diagnosed R to be extracted.  We are suppose to talk about that.  Too many missed diagnosis.  

I  was done about  12 30 a nd KR  had text  me to  buy carrots.  Ended up he was asleep and he  could have gone and  bought the carrots.  He spent two hours  he said with the guy from Valor and didn't have time.  Yeah right.

We walked Angel t othepark.   He  made the very good  chicken  soup.

Kurt had work from 11 til about 6 and  said he has to be in El Segundo by 8 tomorrow.  

I drove Will all the way home.  He called me about 6:44 so early enough to drive him home.  We had a nice chat.

IT IS NOVEMBER !!!!!

 And it was 84  degrees today.   

KR took Angel to the beach and I stayed  home.  Started a little bit of the Halloween stuff gathering so we can start on the Thanksgiving stuff.  Kurt went to work early, by 9 and I made his lunch.  I went for a bike ride for 7 miles.   Then we had lunch with Brandon Bernstein.   He explained FIA and why we should not  get into that.   

KR took a nap and I sat outside in the HOT sun.   When he took Angel for a walk I took a nap.  

We then  had  more left over for dinner  Tomorrow I  have work
