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.
