New Years Eve 2023

So it was still lightly raining t his  morning.

KR took Angel to the golf course and I stayed home.  We went to church.  Kurt was still at Cleveland National Forest.

The sermon was good.   We came back for a l ittle lunch and not much else as we were going to be going to the Gooch going away Party and then to Crookston's.   KR cooked the lobster dip and I went fora ride first then a run.  Kurt got home about  4 30 and he asked me to help him  clean up and I  said no and he got  mad.  He drove Corrina  home and we went to Donna's for the Gooch going a way party.  We had a little chicken adobo and came home to get the dip and went to Crookston.    

Katherine said it was suppose  to be 16 people but there were only 8,  which is good, as 16 would have  been too may.

Kurt and Corrina went to Chris' by Anza for their party.

We were home by 9 and bed by 10

Saturday and rain went away and BIG SURF

So it was still raining  this  morning.  We went to the golf course and KR says it is gonna stop, but we  brought th umbrellas anyway and boy did we need it.  It  poured for a bit and then stopped, blue sky over the ocean.  We then drove up to Lunada Bay to see the big waves.   They were big but didn't have any shape.  We came home and I did some clean up and KR went to FM to pick up very little stuff.  Just some lettuce for  the girls.

I keep thinking that I need to feed Buffy.  She is gone and she was such a good girl.  

We read part of our will and trust as we need to make an appt with Tom regarding an amendment or two.  

We also stopped at Ralphs to get cream cheese for tomorrow night's appetizer at the Crookston.

KR had some lunch (taco  salad) then took a nap.  I rode around the alleys and got a blanket, which  I  washed and dried.  Kurt is still in Cleveland National Forest camping.  

KR took  Angel back to the golf course and I tried to nap but could not.  I did do some boxing. 

THEN THE MALL RIOT

Yup, there were hundreds of them kids thinking of doing the smash and grab.  Well, the  TPD had the copters circling with lights  telling them to keep marching down Sepulveda  and to go home.  It was  a  mad house for a bit with the cops and the lights and the congestion on the  main  drag.   

Friday 12/29/2023

We were up, not too early.  KR went to check the surf and said it was TOO BIG to go out so we took Angel to the service road and she had a great run.  We  went to mom's  to  check the fake tree  I got and to bring Mary's cart and her chair out to the garage and I did a bit of cleaning inside, making things neater.  

We also brought the plumerias that I wanted planted in the front.  The other one I planted died or some reason.  I set the Roomba to roam around in each room.  

KR went up to meet with Jon, up at Lunada Bay to have lunch and a shot of tequila or two, or three.

It is in the 40's out  in Cleveland  National Forest.  They must be COLD.   Suppose  to rain  a little tomorrow.  I also did laundry,

I  went for a s hort bike  ride anda  short run.  Knee was not t oo b ad.  

Thursday Kurt goes camping

KR got up early and went surfing.  I went to pick up the girls to take them to Harbor Gateway Transit Center to take the bus to Union Station.   They were taking the bus to Las Vegas then Grand Canyon. 

Kurt  was getting ready to  leave for Cleveland  National Forest, just south  of Murrita to  go  camping with Corrina and friends.  Glad he is going out to do stuff. He also quit nicotine and is chewing the gum I  got him.   He also went for a run this morning too, I guess to get some of the headache out of his system.  

I went for a  6.5 mile ride around the neighborhood.   KR also helped me in the garage with the fake tree I dragged there to see if the lights work.  If they do then we will keep otherwise give away.  We also dragged Mary's kitchen cart and her chair out.

I had a conversation with Melissa last night.   It is so hard to call her as she is not getting any jobs and has no money and cannot do anything,  Maybe I will offer her the condo but she has a dog and two cats and a house full of furniture.  What to do?

KR had a huge lunch and very little dinner.  I am almost down to 109 in the morning.  Thanksgiving I ate too much and was about 112 in the morning.   

I did a little weights in the garage and we were in bed by 8 30

Wednesday 12/27/2023

 So KR was up  early and had  a  meeting with Coach  Phil of Valor.  I  was asleep until after 7.   So  tired.  Dreamed about  Grace,  my cousin,  taking  care of mom  and not changing mom's wet diaper or something.  I have no idea why I had this dream.

KR came home and went surfing.  I did some puttering of course.  Bringing some stuff to the garage and  trying to clean up.  Kurt is going camping and wants some stuff gathered up.  The Jao girls forgot a purse at Avis and I rode my bike over there and picked up the purse.     KR also picked up some shampoo for me,  except he got the wrong thing, he got Charity's.   HAHAHA  

We got KING crab legs and shrimp and tri tip from Patty acrosst he  street.  We get so much food.  Then  Sarah gave us curry and spaghetti sauce.  I bought some over to the girls.  

Kurt just hung out and cleaned his room a little and got the tent washed.  I did a load of laundry too.

We went to the golf  course to walk Angel at sunset. There were some golfers but they left pretty quick as it was getting dark.  

I calledt he girls as I d idn't  know where they were  They werei n   Long Beach Belmont Shore looking at  the canals.  How did they go down there???  No idea.  They are leaving on the bus at Union Station  tomorrow morning.  

December 26 Monday

Last night was not very good sleep  Score of 74 and 7.5 hours of  s leep

So we were up early, and  Kurt NOT of course.  He had a headache and took some migraine medication  and slept all afternoon.  KR and I went to the beach to walk Angel and then he went surfing.  I went to the garage and brought Mary a lot of her stuff to her new place on Cabrillo so I can get some of the stuff reorganized in the garage.  She has a really cute new place.  One bedroom back house with garage for $1800 which is a great deal

I went to FM and only got some lettuce for the girls.  Which I forgot to sort through and is still sitting in the garage,

8 mile ride around the neighborhood.  I found a Christmas tree.  Must see if it works, that means no more buying fresh tree !!!

I took a nap too, was so so tired.  KR took a nap.  The router came and Kurt had heck of a time trying to install.  It turns out that ATT forgot to register it so that it could NOT be installed unless we called them.  The girls were out in Hollywood all day, and came home to drop off the car and then went to El Burrito Junior for dinner.  I picked them up there.

Kurt went out dancing and Rachel was the only one that wanted to go.  

Merry Christmas 2023 Monday 12/25/2023

 What a great day. 

We were up and gifts opening.  For the family that don' buy too many gifts, we had some.  I got Kurt some socks and KR some socks and T shirt.  Kurt also got the paw PING PONG game, plus the air Twister game.  We then walked to the golf course.  It was empty, and although sunny I guess the golf course was closed.  There was only ONE  worker.  Kurt even went.  We then came home and Kurt did laundry and took a nap.  KR ate some lunch , of last night's left over Korean BBQ and then he took a nap too.  

I tried taking a nap but Brian came by and  Angel barked, and barked.   He wanted  Kurt to help him  transfer content of one phone to another since his old phone broke.  I  cooked   my famous garlic  roast and KR cooked mashed potatoes and we had salad and  rolls and  dessert.   The girls came and Brian  too and Corrina and we had a great dinner.  

They watched a little  "Home Alone" and  we went to bed by 9  15.

Happy Birthday  Jesus

Sunday Christmas Eve 2023

We were up not too early and went to Veteran's Park to walk  Angel.  Only saw some  S things by the walkway  near Torrance Blvd.  The feeding l ady was not there so there were none by the bathroom

We went to church, and Pastor Paul talked about Luke

Came home and  KR   planted the trees and did  some pruning  and I did some more jewelry   giving and puttering around.  The raccoon came by to eat again, and brought a friend.  KR took a nap and so did Kurt.  I went riding around for 8 miles around the neighborhood.

We went to the Christmas Eve service and then to Jang Su Jang for dinner.  Korean BBQ and Eleane paid, and it was so so delicious.  Kurt ate a lot, and I ate too  much.

They stayed around for a bit and we lit off a firework and went to bed around 9 pm 

Saturday 12/23/2023

 So the modem did not come.

We were up not too early. I had 8.25 hours of sleep, although it does not feel like it.  I kept waking up and wondering if I should get up.  KR took Angel to the beach and I did laundry and cleaned the house.

THINKING OF BUFFY.

I had to take care of her for so long that it is strange that I don't have to try to feed her food first thing in the morning. HOWEVER, the hurt racoon I  saw last night when Freda came over is in the back yard and I gave it some dog food and it ate.  The back paw seems hurt.   Freda brought me some  great rice balls and soup.  

KR went to FM and bought a persimmon tree and started to dig a hole by the grape vine.  Kurt went out  with some friends from Cal and then took a  LLLLOOOONNNNNGGGGGGG nap.   We only got one  cabbage which I will cook for tomorrow.

I rode the bike to Vanderhill Street to pick up toy for Angel but she didn't put it out I have to go tomorrow.  I cleaned mom's garage up some.  Brought a whole car load of stuff to Steven plus a large tarp that he wanted.  

We went to walk  Angel at the Golf Course but  the golfers were  out.  So we went to Fire Trail.  

We had left over for  dinner.

Friday and the Alumni Water Polo game

So it was still raining a bit this morning when I got up. Didnt think I got a very good night sleep but the watch says the sleep score was 88   i don't believe  it.  I felt like I tossed and  turned all  night.  

KR took Angel for a walk and I went for a run except my left knee is really  bothering me.  I had to  walk half  of  it.   

Kurt was  up and  he drove up first to Chadwick.   KR and I left Angel at home.  It  poured a little right  before we left.  Buckets and buckets. I guess  Santa Barbara really got flooded.  There  was only FOUR varsity players, vs 6 alumni so Rob had to play on their team.  KR should have gotten his suit on and jumped in.  Corrina would not go in either.  She played goalie for JV Peninsula team.   I don't even  know who won.

We had a very tasty pizza lunch and came home.  KR took a nap and I tried cleaning the stuff in the garage.   

We had Thanksgiving left over for dinner.

Kurt slept all afternoon, after his very tough game.  He was exhausted from  swimming so much.  

Thursdad and NO WORK

 So it rained most of today

KR  tried to go surfing and says it is no go so he took Angel to the beach, and then the rain let up a little so he went to the golf course too  and Angel had  a ball.  No golfers.  

I did house work.  Cleaning up the Buffy cage area, and thinking of her.  What a hen.  More than 8 years  old.  She was well loved.  

Kurt's first client canceled so he went to work about 12.  KR and I went to California Pizza Kitchen for a little lunch.  Courtesy of Jeff Yamane.  We have not been there for years and years.  I think the last time I was there was with Julie Jensen.   

He took a nap and  I tried posting more jewelry from Dennis down the street.  I also took some stuff over to mom's garage and condo.  Brought all  Alan's cereals inside.  Mary also came by and brought a whole bunch of her stuff to her place.  Sean helped during the lull in the rain.  It was pouring hard for awhile.  

I don't know what the girls did, Eleane said she had to work online so they were there most of the day. 

Kurt stopped at Corrina's after work and watched some TV.  He is gonna get owned tomorrow at the Water Polo game at Chadwick.   We had  Sumi's leftover enchilada casserole for dinner plus canned green beans. 

Wednesday RAIN FINALLY and BUFFY PASSED AWAY

As soon as I got up and checked on Buffy, she was stiff and gone.  Felt like she had not gone too long. That was one sweet hen.  In the last year, I guess she must have had three or four strokes, or some kind of seizure problem.  I hand fed her, or rather force fed her cat food and chicken food and she bounced back.  Yesterday her feet were all curled up and she had a hard time standing but she was still eating, a little.  I cried and lamented that I cry when all my animals go, but this one I was especially sad as I nursed her back to health and she lived inside for several months at night.  

Eleane and the gang came by around 7 am for some coffee.  Not sure why they just didn't buy some instant.  Eleane is suppose to be making a lot of money working for Facebook.  They left in the light rain and said that the parking structure was getting full already.  

KR took Angel out to the beach first, then the rains topped and after a short walk there, he took her to the Fire Road.  He had lunch then a nap.  Tonight is Donna's party for the Trac kids.  KR is picking Matthew  up about 5 45.

I brought the cereal over  to mom's and had a  whole amazon  bag full of their stuffi n the corner of the  living  room.  Mary still has a lot of stuff there that she is slowly moving to her new place.  She had the movers come Monday, thank goodness no rain.  For a little while, the rain  was coming  down i n  SHEETS.

I went out for a short run.  But could only do about three miles.  MY KNEE HURTS  (L)

 So yesterday Emma became a Canadian citizen via zoom.  That is  so weird.  It was suppose to start raining and in the morning.  I told James to pay me the money.  No word yet.  

Tuesday Bible Study and Dinner with the group

 KR had  his  usual  Tuesday morning  bible study and then   he went  surfing  with  Joost.   I  stayed  home of course  and  did laundry and changed  the sheets.  He came back and I w as going  to  go biking but  it started raining.

I  picked up Eleane  and Phoebe from  the bus  stop at AAA.  They missed  thes top andhad to walk  backfrom Lomita and Hawthorne. 

I  drove themt o t he condo a nd gott hem situated.  Mary  is  in t he process o f moving.   She  got most of h er stuff out of the storage unit but there is  still alot of stuff at the condo,  but  at least  the back  bedrooms are clean so the girls can stay

Also I took them to Avis rental to get  a  car about 5 and they wanted to g o to the grocery store for food.

I told them Ralphs  is better than  Walmart

We had sandwiches from Jersey Mike and had a nice bible study.

Bed was about 10 pm

Monday I had to work

 So Dr Sata is out of town I think so I had to work today.  I was very busy getting the house ready for Andrea to clean.  KR went early to go surfing, and Kurt had  work so Angel was home with the cleaning  crew.  It rained a little too.  

I was done by1 PM and came home to an empty h ouse, but clean.  KR had taken Angel to the fire road after surfing.   He had some lunch and took a nap.  My  morning  was  very busy.   Will came in for some fillings.   I  did lower left and scaled his teeth a bunch.  He still has fuzz on his teeth.  

I went for a run around the alleys.  Very slow. Sumi came by with some cabbage salad and some enchilada casserole.  It was great.  I took some bagels to Adele's and had a little chat with her, and Neil. 

We  had very light dinner and went  to b ed by 9

Sunday

 I was  so dizzy today and my head hurt and my b ack was hurting.  KR took Angel to the fire road and went to  church.  Kurt went  to hike Mount Baldy with Corrina and friends.  They left by 7 30.   I did  the laundry washing all the rugs and vacuumed the garage.  I also brought a lot of stuff back from Dennis around the corner.

I also got a FRESH Christmas tree in the alley and gave to Kathleen on  226 on the other side.  WITH a stand.  She was so thankful

I also got her a bunch of ornaments.

KR came back and tried to go surfing.  NO GO

He tried t aking Angel to the park.  NO GO

We went to Donna's for enchilada and it was GREAT, saw the Gooch, Ackerman, Francis and Gooch children and  of course Donna and John.

Went  to  b ed  by 9

Saturday

 WHAT HAPPENED?

Who  knows

We  did  go  to FM or  KR  did  and  we got  lots  of  kale,  which no one wanted

I went to  Sumi's party and there w as so so much food.  KR didn't go

We walked  Fire  Road  and t here was so much brush c learing  it w as unreal

I biked  over 7 miles  and  also ran thea lleys but r eally slow, like 13 min  mile

EASY FRIDAY 12/15/2023 William's 30th Birthday

I forgot to mention, Will said he got bit by a dog (while working) and the dog owner gave him 100 bucks not to say anything!!!  His pants even got torn.  Dang  I wished  him a happy birthday.  His gift this  year was the car, for Christmas too.  He says he likes his gift.  I certainly hope so.

I didn't get up until 7 am.  KR took Angel to the fire road.  I tried to clean the table where all the Christmas stuff I am trying to give away.  A lot of it went and Charity came to pick up the kitchen towels.   Kiera also wanted them.  Donna came by for some candals.  

I  had chiro with Chris Bruno and I rode my bike there and back.  Kurt was home  early.  He slept a bit before his office party.  He wore KR's 'ugly Christmas sweater'.   

We had much left over  from last night.

Thursday and OFFICE PARTY

The work day started off with a bang.  I saw Paula and Peter Gooch, and Chase Bruno.  All the KHC  kids.  I got off work at 12 30 and came home.  I found  the white pants and washed and  dried and ironed them for our outfits tonight.  I  was gonna stop at the thrift store but Kurt said he still had his  white pants.  KR cooked some broccoli soup and it was very good.  

Kurt had work most day, I think

KR also had Valor meeting and he text me to start  boiling the lobsters for the dip for tonight. The meeting ran long and he just had time to cook the dip and bake it before we had to leave for the party at Megha's house.  

I went for a 2.5 mile run, at 13.36 pace  Very slow

I also went riding at 2 pm to BIG 5 to buy some socks for the boys.  I wrapped up KR's t shirt gift and  Kurt's Apple Watch gift.

We got to the party and most folks were there already.  And we were only about 5 min late. They really like to start partying.  There was a lot of food and we had a great time, eating and talking and then THE GIFT exchange.  You can steal two times, and  KR got this REALLY good bag of teeth stuff, like a soft blanket and teeth socks and dog socks and Christmas socks.  However, Melissa STOLE it and then Maribel stole it and she gave me the dog socks.  KR had a LOT TO drink and I drove home .  I also gave Angelica a ride home.  Her husband dropped her off and I guess she didn't want to drive?  KR said his BAC was ONLY .06 when he got home.  

I  didn't get to bed until almost 11

Wednesday Screening again in Lawndale

 After I was woken up by KR, not too  early this time, I went to screening at  William  Anderson Elem.

I was done by 11 45, as there was only two more classes left and I told them I was leaving.  I ate some of the broccoli soup KR made.  He added cauliflower too and blended it.  Delicious.

I went to Big 5 to buy Kurt some socks.  I had a coupon, so I got KR a pair of hiking socks too.

Kurt got some presents already, the Apple Watch, the nicotine gum and socks., the three pack he likes. I finished the Christmas letters  and we wrote  some and will mail tomorrow.  KR has Valor meeting tomorrow and I have work.

We ate left over. 

Kurt had work

Tuesday OSHA training at the office 12/12/2023

So KR was thinking of surfing and took his stuff to take a look.  No go.  He came home and took Angel for a walk.  I went to see Dr Wong, chiro but he had another patient and was late.  Mary told me yesterday that she got a place in Torrance and will need a frig so I asked online and I went to see the frig, and she did too and said that it would not work.  Su Kim bought a house and is no longer on 235, but Huber street.  Off of Western and 242nd street.

Sometimes I think she is too picky.

But she has been at the condo for FIVE months, without paying rent, so at least she saved some money.  

KR went to FM and we got a lot of asparagus, and romaine and broccoli and cauliflower and some beets.  I gave away alot   of the stuff today.

We had OSHA from 1 - 2 15  and came home and KR took  Angel out  while  I stayed and typed  the Christmas letter.  Took awhile.  Pages is not like Word.  I also  went for a run about 2.6 miles, slow.  My hip and left knee giving me fits.  13.min  mile.

KR picked up tacos from El Tarasco or  LBJ and all chicken and they were very good. 

I got 86 sleep score last night.  A lot of  sleep.   

THIS IS OUR CHRISTMAS LETTER                                       

                                                             Merry Christmas 2023

                                                    Happy Birthday Jesus

            What a year!!!  We started off the year getting healthy after our second attack of COVID end         of December 2022.  My brother Eddie and his son Nic came from Australia to visit and to attend a trade show in Las Vegas.  They stayed with us for a few days before flying to Taiwan to visit mom and Lovely.  Alan, Lovely’s husband also came in from Taiwan to visit us and his        mom and  brother/family in San Diego area.  James, my older brother, had gotten married on Christmas Eve 2022, in Vancouver, also came back for a visit with his new bride, Emma.  There was a lot of family around.  

I had planned a trip to Taiwan for mom’s birthday, and I flew out a few days before Eddie and Nic. However, Eddie caught COVID in Las Vegas, so he was quarantined in Lovely’s bedroom for a whole week. What a bummer.  We had a great time, hosted by Lovely and Isaiah, eating out, driving all around, all without Eddie.  We went to the zoo, to the night market, to get massages, and hair washing.  He couldn’t even get near our mom.  He  was finally negative the last few days of their visit.  

I ran the Super Bowl 5K and barely got through.  The hip was acting up.  Yup, the new one that I  had done April 2021.  It rained ALOT  in January and Feb.  It felt like the rain was never gonna  stop.  We went out to Anza Borrego, our annual trip to see the wild flowers in March.  Angel had  a  grand old  time.

In April, KR went on a trip of a lifetime, to the Mentawai Islands off of Indonesia.  He went with three other friends and had a great time surfing everyday.  It did take three flights and two boat  rides.  I  stayed home and worked, plus taking care of the animals.

We went out to Palm Springs for an over night in May and rode the tram up to Idyllwild  where there was still 5 feet plus of snow.  We hiked several miles, and I had a heck of time hiking with my running shoes.  

Kurtis FINALLY graduated from college in May, and got a FULL time job in August.  He is not sure he likes it but at least it is sort of in his field (Psychology).  Lovely and her two kids came in for a short visit in June.  I ran the annual 4th of July 5K.  I also ran our office (SBCHC) fund raiser 5K.  

Will, who married Diamond two years ago, is living in Long Beach working for Amazon.  Tyler is  still doing construction, and had another baby but we have not seen them yet.  Karl is retired from doing dentistry for pay, but he volunteers at my MediCal clinic doing root canals and difficult extractions.  I still work part time, although I gave up the private practice portion of my practice in August.  It was just getting too much to handle working at two offices.   Besides MEDICARE is next year and I am thinking of hanging up the drills.  

We still have Angel, the crazy pitbull, MiniMoo the wonder kitty and BunBun the stray Balinese plus five hens.  KR is still doing bee work, but only has one hive in the back yard now.  I still love to run, but the joints are complaining all the time, so I do a bit of bike riding.   We did many Ciclavia  this year, riding all around Los Angeles area.  

We still attend Branch of Hope church here in Torrance.  Wishing you contentment now and always.

Monday

 Time  sure goes by fast.

KR had screening, and I just cannot believe I spent the whole day cleaning and doing laundry, changing sheets and vacuuming and cooking.  I made oxtail and KR liked it very much.  He came home for lunch as he said he had a 2 hour lunch and took a short nap.  

I also wished Lovely HAPPY birthday, at midnight her time.  

I biked for 8.6 miles and  went to Sarah's to pick up some soup.  

I did some bible reading before going to bed.

Sunday Mary Eileen and Violet birthday

 So  Ig ot  7 45 ofs leep  and KR  took Angel  to walk and I s tayed home.   Corrina came  over with Helen  and  they were going to Lake Elsinore, just  close to where we were headed

We left about  11  15 to go to  Temecula for Violet's Birthday party.  We stopped for coffee and was about a minute late. She saw us at  the door and I guess we didn't get the surprise part right.  But we had a good time.  Mimi and Cade and Jay and a friend of Mimi's and another friend of Violet and Violet's boyfriend Bob was there,.  The singer Mimi hired came and sang a bunch of songs and we danced.  We had pizza and chicken wings and cake and left too late so KR was driving into the sun the whole drive.

I had taken Stray Kitty (whose name was suppose to be Buddy) to Carson shelter after messaging several people that he was ailing and needed help NOW.  Andrea from NextDoor msg me that she volunteers there and Ashley from the shelter will take the cat.  Well........

Stray Kitty passed away, in the afternoon.  I am just so sad that I could NOT save him.

Where did he come from?

Who knows

I went to Costco for gas for the Honda, and the line was long.  I dropped the cake off at Vanessa's and parked the car and wished Mary a happy birthday.  Sean was there and they were having dinner.  I ran about a mile and half and came home.  

Corrina and Helen were here looking over the boxes.  They didn't have time out in Lake Elsinore.  KR cooked some vegetables and Kurt  had  some pizza  we brought home and KR went to bed early.  I was in bed by 9 30.

What a day.  

Saturday

 and  it is SUNDAY night and I just   don't recall

Seems like  I   have to l ook back on  photo  or fitbit to figure out what really happened

Early in the morning we went walking up Fire Trail.  The city crew was busy clearing the dry brushes.  I guess  fire abatement was in order before the  fire starts?  But  it is winter

I found a cat that  was eating at the outside bowl and then when I went out to see if he or she was still around, he was just sitting by the camelia and I grabbed him and found that  he had this   weird collar on.  Turns out it was a collar from Carson  Shelter.  Long  story short, I msg on NextDoor  as to what that tag on t he collar might be.  I brought the  cat into Western  Vet  on Crenshaw and they scanned and said the cat belongs to someone who has an  address in Long Beach.

THEN WHAT IS THE CAT DOING HERE?

I tried to feed it but it won't eat.  I placed the cat in the  bathroom downstairs with  food and water.  Nope.

KR went to  Costco  then to FM then to YMCA tree lot and got us a BEAUTIFUL 7  foot tree.  We docorated it with Kurt and Corrina  in  attendance.  The dark gray kitty actually came out and walked around a little.

Corrina went through the jewelry and kept  a few. 

I went to bed late, lik,e 9 30

Friday and the Village Dental Party

So KR had a meeting with the Valor coach at 6 30 so he was out of the house early and he took his surfing stuff with him so he can go right after.  I did a lot of cleaning, including Roombaing the whole top floor and wiping all the counters.  

I even went and walked/ran the dog to the park.   She didn't want to go but I dragged her.  Then I ran the alleys.  My hip was pretty sore. That makes three runs this week. I think I will cool it a bit. Besides I was doing 14.5 min mile.  Very slow.

I went out to lunch with Carole and bought some gift cards for Rebekah.  50 dollars worth.  She does not seem to make much money, so I thought it would help a little.

We went to the  Riviera Dentist Party,  hosted by Greg Shvartsman, which we were NOT invited but we bought our own drinks, and crashed the party.  We did NOT stay for the raffle.  There was a 50" TV too!!  I did meet the rep for several vendors, like Nobel and  another  one that  makes bone plugs that  I  might ask  for free stuff. 

We came home and KR  took Angel for a walk and I cooked pork chops and they had it with the left over couscous and potatoes.  Kurt then went to spend the night at Corrina's

Thursdad MUST be work

 I had two  7 am patients.  Both are kiind of prissy and PITA

KR came in for his RCT and one patient had COVID and the other one just needs to have crown bildup on the RCT that KR did a week ago.  The tooth was really hallow.  I think I used three compules of composite before it was closed up.  I also saw Diamond and did $4 which w as a large decay under MOD amal,.  I took out the amal and placed MTA near the pulp and placed composite over the top.  She will prolly need a crown.  Later.  I gave her 50 dollars to go to El Super for groceries and she bought 46 bucks of stuff.  Mostly fruit and vegetables.  She should have bought meat for cooking at home.

I stopped at El Super and bought meats.  I then cooked some chicken soup with the vegetables we got from  FM.  

KR had THREE BEERS today and was asleep when I got  home.  We went down to the beach  to watch the sunset.  No green today

I ate the left over chicken salad sandwich and KR had chicken soup and Kurt worked and came home about 6

Wednesday

 It is Farnaz's birthday.  And Ian's birthday.  And Wyatt's birthday.  And Mutt Lee passed away in 1998 or 99.  So long ago.  December 3, two years ago Gracie passed away.   

KR goes to screening and I go to office meeting. He got off pretty early and went surfing.  Said that it was fun.  I walked   around then eighbor  looking for more stuff to  give to Steven.  The guy around the corner.  I  also went for a 2.7 mile   run  in t he  alley.  Didn't  see anything.   I also biked  3 miles around t he  neighborhood.  

KR had  Del Taco  for  lunch and dinner.  Kurt had work  all day.

Tuesday

 So I tried to get KR to go to the screening but he  said no. So I  went

He had Bible Study and came home and I left for lawndale school.  We  started right on  time, and got  done  about 1.   KR was asleepw hen i came  home.

I went over to the house around the corner and there were more clothes for me to bring to Steven.  I  also got the Amazon delivery containers  out of the dumpsters in the alley and he wanted some of those.  KR took Angel down to the beach and Kurt was at work.  He didn't start until about 12

We had Bible Study and it was discussion of the Hot Topic; CHURCH and STATE.

It was a very  lively discussion.

Nice Day Monday

 I always like Monday when Andrea comes to clean.

Of course I got the house ready by taking out the chicken cage and trying to vacuum some of the feathers.  Kurt called in sick and did not go to work,   I gave him two dayquil  and he sounded much better.

After KR's Monday morning group, and after Andrea came, we took Angel to the Fire Road and then stopped for Bagels.  We still cannot get the free coffee because we could not pay with a gift card.

When KR took a nap, I rode around for  5.5 miles and then picked up a lot of clothes from the neighbor  around the corner and dropped off at Steven's. They are moving, and  the house is an ABSOLUTE mess. The drapes were shredding and falling off the rods and the carpets were a mess.

We had left over dinner and read a bit and went to bed.

 

Ciclavia Sunday 12/3/2023

 So we didn't go to church.  KR first walked Angel up the Fire Road.  I didn't go and just got ready.  

Corrina did not go as she had to work at the Dojo.  We left about 9 and drove up t o the eastern end of the route.  We rode about 12 miles and  got a bunch of freebies.

We stopped at Jim Dandy's for fried chicken.  We also got some fried clams.   We ate heartily and then they went and took a nap.  I did not, and s tarted cleaning for Andrea tomorrow.  KR took Angel for a walk and I cooked  some breakfast  steaks.  Corrina came over and KR watched some football.  

Kurt bought some stuff from Amazon and one of which was this interesting lighter.  

We took a shower and after reading some Bible,  and went to bed.  

Saturday 12/2/2023

 We were up not  too early.  At least I  was not.  According to my watch, got  8.5 hours of sleep with 85 sleep score.  WHICH IS VERY GOOD

I did Kurt's laundry and he came home after spending the night at Corrina's and hung the laundry.  

We went to Harbor Rock Open House in Lomita and had some breakfast/brunch of eggs and pancakes  and bacon and fruit.  Very good.  Dan is doing good with women.  He needs another resident though. The house is old and the back yard more dirt than anything.  

We went to FM and didn't get much.    Some nice strawberries though from Gaytan Farm.

KR had a nap and I tried to sleep no go.  I did ride around the alleys and stopped around the corner.  This guy is cleaning out his house and I got a fan and a heater and some other stuff.   

We had left over pork chops and steak and rice from Sarah.  

Tomorrow is Ciclavia.  Last one of the year but Corrina cannot join us.   She has to work a birthday party at the Dojo

Friday FIRST day of December

 What happened to Friday?

I think I threw up.  Yup, I got up and was not feeling too well so KR says ok lets see and we started driving and I said NOPE let me go home and I came home and threw up and felt a little better.

What is up with t hat?

And this computer is driving me crazy with the spacing.  Sometimes no space, and sometimes one, and sometimes TWO !!!

KR took  Angel either to the beach or fire road. I don't remember.

After lunch, I  went for a run.  2.5 miles around the alleys at 14.25 pace.  Very slow.  My hip was hurting a little too.  Even with the stretching, with the bands, still hurt.

We went to the beach for a walk, and he stopped and bought some two buck chuck, which is now 3.5$ from Trader Joe

I was in bed by 8 45
