CANT BE Halloween 2025 Friday 10-31-2025

 So the last time was the 18th of October.

So much has happened.  Where do I begin?

Saturday Tyler's 31st birthday 10-18-2025

 We had a wonderful morning, then it was cardio dance and KR took Angel to the beach.  I made some shank meat and Kurt and Corrina had a counseing appt and they had a burrito each that I made before they left.  Kurt also did his laundry.  

I am typing on the other keyboard.  So much bette.r  

IT IS ALSO A DRY DAY

KR got some vege from FM and I cooked the soup and he had bbq shank with rice.  

I AM GETTING FAT  Need to eat less

We went to SBCC for 5 pm service.  There was a LOT of people there.  It was on Ruth and Boaz.  We had light dinner and Kurt went up to Corrina's.  We left Angel in the house and Kurt only left her for about half hour.  She did well.  We shall see tomorrow

OH MY SLEEP SCORE was 71 last night.  WOWOWOWO

Friday 10/17/2025

 Friday is always so nice.  I went to Cardio Dance, and then to my Botox touchup.  KR drove to the beach with Angel when I was at the Y.  He went to the cliffs when I had the touch up.  It is gonna be nice that I cannot move my eyebrows.  HAHAHAH

My knee is bothering me.  I made app for left knee to be checked and I am getting Orthovisc injection on my right knee next month.  I cannot get it unless three months have elipsed after the cortizone injection.

I also went for a ride, dropping some books off at the little library, and then the alleys.  NOTHING to be had.

Maggie and Bob had stayed at the condo the last three nights.  Said the guest shower had started to backup.  The association had someone come to snake it.

Wednesday KR screening and +-Thursday working

 So I got this keyboard from Skyler and is better than the one on the apple so I think I won't have to buy another laptop for a bit.  Wednesday I worked all day cleaning and going shopping and cooking and KR had screening.  He was done at 11

He went to Job I was too tired and I wanted to sleep early for going to work the next day.  I was in bed by 8:50 and got up at 4 50 to go to work.  I went cycling and did almost 8 miles.  Step only 9222

Thursday work was easy, I was early at work and was nice working with Johanne and Dr Kim.  Desiree T came for her check up and I finally remember to give her the gift card.  I showed Anita my photos of the trip.

I stopped at El Super as KR asked me to get avocados, I bought meats too.  Mike Keon had come by and asked KR to print out something from his phone.   KR could not, and I tried to get them to follow instruction for printing.

It turned out that KR had a LARGE beer and HALF CUP OF CAPTAIN MORGAN's rum, he didn't tell me about the beer.  So he had FOUR drinks before 11 am.  THAT IS NOT GOOD.

I didn't say anything, knowing that I should not say anything until he sobered up.  At night I approached him and he agrees that he should not be drinking as much as he should.  He said that the folks from Bible group and Monday group would think that was WRONG thing to do.  At least I know how to keep my mouth shut. 

RAIN and screening

 I had both  today.  It was rainingn when we woke up.  Annd it continued to rainn .  KR had his Bibble study  and he  took me to  get the Honda.  I didn't want  to get the Prius wet.  I left as he was cominng back.  His computer is not holdinng  a charge and he  wants a nnew one.  I will get oen from Costco.

Touch  screen  and for 400 bbucks  HAHAH\

Screening  was at William Anderson Elementary.  VERY fast and  we  were done byt  11 30.  KR had appt with  Dr Lee at noonn.  I stopped and got Chipotle’s burrito for their  dinnner.  KR had chicken legs  and a  beer after he came back.  I ate some vege and took a  nap with  him.

Cardio dance at 4

Kurt nad work all day  andn  Corrina  came  over

Monday 10/13/2025

 KR had screening  so after checkingt he s urf h e  was  off.  I did  a load of laundry  and cleaned the houyse  and the dog just  wanted to  follow me up and down.  I batted down the house for  the  rain that is  suppose to come tomorrow.  

I swept the yard and rearranged the barrels, gave the chicken food.  

KR came home and went surfing.  I went for a bike ride when he came home for lumchc of curry.

Kurt had appt with Corrina, he didn't come home last nnight and came home around mnoon to pick  up computer and stuff for  work.  Guess  they  made  a bit  of   money at the garage sale.

Sumi came by  and picked up her  basket but  I  forgot onne.  Charity said she was coming over to drop off cookies, maybe I  will give to her for Sumi

Sunday

 Maybe I will   be able to keep  up the  blog.

KR  went surfing and I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned some more.  My back is still a little sore.  And my  left knee.  KR went to  church and I did online  with  the  pup.  Kurt stayed at Corrina's and zoomed it.  I thought Dan's message was really  good. 

KR then  had  a LARGE beer and  two shots  of Southern Comfort and slept  for over two hours.  I knnew it.!!!  I went  for a ride and he was asleep when I left and was asleep when I returned.  That boy needs to stop dri nking

I cooked turkey  cheese burger with bacon annd mushroom.  Very  good.

I am getting fat.  Not eough  exercise.

WAS IN bed by 9 pm  KR  has  screenign tomorrow

Saturday, Sunday and now Monday 9/29/2025

 Natasha's 68 birthday came and gone.

Kevin's accident  date came and wennt

I had yoga class, then  went cycling, and sleep score 33  DANG that is bad

Sunday KR had church  duty  as usher #1 so Kurt and I stayed and zoomed.  I coughed for hours on  end, would not stop.  Nose sprays and Allegra nope, four hours of coughing.  I have been trying to stretch first thing in the morning to limber up a little.  Seems to help a bit.  I went  cycling, and sleep score 34  GAD BAD DANG

I also went to Prayer and Worship, and it was great ad powerful.  HOWEVER, I must have ran a red light and got stopped by the cops on Plaza Del Amo.  First thing they said was to roll down ALL FOUR WINDOWS, as they ran KR's plate and sees that there is a CCW connected to the car and didnn't want me to pull a fast one.

I was such  wreck that I started crying like mad and they ended up giving me a warning and I went on home and told KR  what  happened.  He was already in bed dowstairs wiith Angel.  She is  doing better, running up the stairs if we don't have the 'gate' put up.

It was a bit cloudy today, Monday.  Kurt spent the night at Corrinna's and I ran, YUP went running about 7 am annd almost 14 minute mile for 2.3 miles.  HOW ABOUT THAT.  I also found a bunch of drinks, beer annd soft drinks.  KR had two of the IPA's.  He was gonna go surfing with Flip but there was no surf.  Sleep score 45  BAD BAD  I went riding to get the frig filter.  KR picked up half bottle of hair connditioner I would like to try.

I cooked VERY good shrimp and scallops for his lunch.  He weedwhacked annd cleaned up the yard.  Kurt worked all day.  Tomorrow should be a better day

Friday and the BRIDGE DOES NOT fit

 So I was scheduled to pick up the bridge from Jason at Louie's.  KR took the pup for a walk and picked up for me.  He had tried to go surfig with his NEW surf board that he picked up last night but no go so he came back.

Angel and he had a good night last ight downn stairs.

I had a bad sleep score.

I went to the bank, Wells, but forgot to bring the Chase James' credit card statement so  I could not go to Chase.  Then I went to El Super and picked up 76 dollars worth of meat.  The bridge would NOT seat annd I just don't know why.

I finnally took a another impression and went to Jasonn's to ask what the problem was.  Maribel also brought David to see if they can take the braces off next month.  Well, the right bicuspids don't touch annd the frotn space is not quiet eve.

I came home and KR went to nap and I went for a ride and I was so so  hungry that I  came home and ate a WHOLE tendonn  and soup annd felt so so bloated.  Well I also ate some chocolate ad some chips.  I just laid around and moaned all afternoon.

Kurt came home and went to Corrina's

KR went to Friday  night light annd I went to bed

Thursday 9/25/2025

 WELL,  I had a g reat  sleep  score.  Combo of  MAD and tape and 75, really?

KR slept downstairs with Angel.  I went to Cardio class while   he  took  Angel to the beach.   Thenn he ate and  went  to  Valor meeting, which started  at 11 30 and it is now 3 30 and he is nnot back  I did a lot of paperwork downstairs, so that Anngel won't be lonely.  She is still convalescing with the surgery.  She did eat though and I gave  her  the pills with cream cheese.

Maybe because of the sleep score, I did NOT feel like a zombie during the  day,  and did not want a  nap.  I  went to the 4 pm yoga class.  My  knees are a  little  wonky.   The vertigo is ot too bad, not like last Friday.

The week of Angel's surgery

 So  we got  back  Monday  and Tuesday the  jetlag  is  not bad  but Wednesday,  oh  man,   complete fog and had  to nap in  the  afternoon.   This  computer  keys  are  driving me crazy.     Guess  I  either  get a  new one or  just  clean it up and get  a new battery.    

KR went to FM and  we had a little pickle ball in the morning. I did only 25 min and it was enough.  KR had bible study in   the mornnig and we had bible study here at  night.   KR was so so  tired that he fell  asleep a little and I threw  a  battery at his   arm  and  he  didn't eve  feel it and  George thought we better cut i t short as the  jetlag is bad.

So w e  did

Wednesday another  day  of jet  lag, but  we hung in there.  KR went to  play pickleball,  with  Johann's  group.  He also took Angel to  ACCESS vet  and had the  connsultatio  with  Dr Laurent Guiot DVMwho  had  a cancellation  for surgery TOMORROW !!!!   YIKES  I  didn't feel well enough to go to Job  with Dan Parkins.  DARN

Thursday I  went to work annd  KR dropped  Angel off  at the  vet.  I g ot  home and  we went to pick  her up.  She was so so groggy  and would  nnot put weigh  on her right foot.  All  kinds of meds and innsntructions and we are  home, trying  to  make sure  she  does  not  go up and  down stairs.

We brought  the full size bed to the  living room and slept with  her there all nnight.

Friday I felt TERRIBLE.  Tuesday through Thursday felt like the VERTIGO WAS GONE, but maybe the stress made me so so dizzy adn  not good.  Kathleen  came over with s ome  dog  food  and  I  did NOT get off the bed.  Angel  is still groggy.   KR went  to  Friday nnight  Light.  

Saturday  was laying around all day  and KR  went to FM.  Marie is on vacation.  We got  some food. 

Sunday KR  was usher so Kurt and I did  Zoom at home with Angel.  We also put the bed downstairs.  I CANNOT get up off the floor to pee in the middle  of  the nnight.  So  I slept  upstairs and KR slept in the living room.

We also decided to put the  mattress back in the  downstairs room and KR and Angel sleep there at night.   It was too hard to keep clean.

Anngel is also not likign her   pills.  First the meat balls then the sliced turkey, we settled on  BUTTER, goes down  smoother.

Monday KR went to play pickleball and I went to  yoga ad   cycled a bit with poor  sleep score of 35  SHEESH

Tuesday  KR wentto  FM and got  a LOT of  cornn and cantaloupe   Plus wepicked up fish  from Jeff.  Rita McKenna  was there.  I did yoga and the cycled a bit.  

Wednesday today, I did yoga when I woke  up in  bed ad then  Cardio Dance at  8 30 and then some weighs ad KR took Angel down to the  beach.  Sleep o good at 37.  I kept waking up to pee.  I had pilates  at 11 also.  KR did't play  pickleball.  We tried to orgaized the photos for the   slide show, annd went through a lot of pics.  KR also had traiinng for TRAK i  PV, nnot at Kinngs Harbor, with dinner.    

Our Triip to Iraq, Turkey and Greece

 It is over a  week  sinnce we returned  from our trip, and I am  just starting  to  recount the amazinng  two weeks with  John and  Yvonne.

The  flight to Istabul  was   9/1/2025  LAX and Kurt took  us  there.  We sampled the  lounge food.  KR had  pho.   The plane took off about 7, Turkish Airline.  Should have taken anothere.  We realized KLM busiess has a 1-2-1 connfiguration while Turkish  has a 2-3-2 nnno wonder the  space was so much smaller.  Dinner was GOOD !!!  And  of course I  kept the salt and pepper shakers.

We went to the Turkish Lounge ad it  is NOT the s ame one as the  one  I was in  2018.  They had built a new airport and now there is no race car drivingn and no  golf, but the masseuse was still  there  and I got a massage and so   did KR  Six  hour  layover ad we flew to  Athens.   

Then  it  was a  cheesy  Athens Lounge, that   opens at 4 30 am.  We flew Austrian Air  from Athens to Vienna, then  the  Austrian  lounge then another  flight  to Erbil.  John picked us up after we took the bus down to where the  people get picked up.  It was at least 105 HOT HOT HOT

We drove to Duhok and had dinner at the mall  We were very tired.  It was abougt 2 hour drive.  I thenn rode with  Laurenn who was comingn to the village to visit friends with her son,  Ziles, who cried half of the time in the 2  hour  ride.   We  went on to Johnn's house  and they  gave  us  their bedroom.  We went to sleep.  End of 9-3-2025

KR's 68 BIRTHDAY  !!!   Last year we   were  in  Kenya and this year in  Iraq.   I  had  brought  a  bunch o f  birthday  decorations and Yvonne put  them up.  We had graduation to  go to tomorrow so KR picked grapes   We wnet  to the Learning  Center  and  hten  tot he camp where I  did the volunteering   years ago.  We then went to the Tigris River where the three countries meet Syria, Turkey and Iraq and saw the  catacomb of the  Fiirst  Church.  That night  we  wennt to  Zakho  to s ee the  new park  and bridge.   It was beautiful with  boat  rides inn the river and lights and people all around.  We brought  food home and had birthday celebration, with Lauren too.  She had come over with Zilas

The next morning, a friend of Johns came over for prayer adn then we packed up and went to Happy Park for graduationn in the afternoon.  It was an amazing event hosted by Yvonne.  She has so much energy and the  girls are so amazinng.  There was a kissing scene in which I didnn't kow many  girls don't kiss their mothers in Iraq but i made a  lot of them do it.  Praying also that I was not Covid Mary  hahahaha   We had so much  food, pizza and cake and all kinds of stuff the mothers made.

Next day, Saturday was church and it  was very interesting.   We went out  to  eat after   The  rest of the day of sending off another class at the Learning Center.  We just could nnont pack the house and go to Happy Park again for another graduationn.  We all  went to bed late.  Tomorrow is the TRIP

Sunday we rushed around and got the house closed and started driving with Odometer  reading of 1108368 KM

The Iraq/Turkey border was  so so tedious.  There were evenn  a  mechanic hole innn  the ground to inspect the under carriage of the car.  PLUS  at least six checks of registratioins and passport.   The car  was packed to the  gill as J &   Y have to go to France for a wedding  after they d rive back to Switzerland.  The  first stop of  Torihi  Kiwex, shitorical Kiwex Garden  where the Yazidis had an abandoned village.  Some Germans are tryingn t o  restore it.  We had a nice picniic there.  Y  and  I  sat in the back  the whole trip.  I slowly  jogged  to the top of the hill where  the peacock temple was.  

Next stop was  Mardin.  We stopped at a monastery annd thento our hotel IMS Carsi otel  What a dump.  We dropped our stuff and went out  to eat and happens to notice                                                                         THE TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE MOON

Next morning we drove to  Halepli Bahce Park, whre there are bunch of   Christian ruinns and had a great lunch at the diner inn the park, for only  less than TWO DOLLARS   Then  we  drove to the  beach  but we  didn't like  the  look of  the restaurant so  we drove on to Adana and had a great dinner, then crashed at the Ibis  Adana hotel

Brekkie next morning was great.  

We  drove  out o f  Adana and the  highway  had a HUGE traffic jam.  We took  the side street  after KR started on the main highway,  he actually reversed and drove  the  wrong  way on  the highway t o get  out.  We went through the mainn townn and it was nice to see rural life of Turkey.  We arrived at the Derinkuyu  Underground City a nd t ook a  tour.  Then  it was otel Ihlara Cappadocia.  Our room had the onnly jacuzzi,  even though it  leaked a little, we used it.   We had dinner at a  charming little restaurant in town.  Ailem Lokanta  &   Pida & Kahvalti,  whatever that means.  Nnext morning we  had a  charming breakfast  before gettig on the road.

We stopped by another underground city  but  did not  go inn.   Too early.   

We  arrived at Ihlara Valley Cave Churches annd it  was  a  long walk but we only did  a few churches.  We drove through the Cone dwellings off the side of the mountain.  It was bed at Pamukkale nices econdn  floor  room.  WE ATE  AT  OPET DIENR ON T HE  W AY.    I didn't order.  Too much  food. with three orders.

Next morning 9/11/2025 we had a  great breakfast andn met  our guide,   and drove to Laodicia, as the  locals say it.   There were  many  amazing r uins and it was HOT HOT and HOT>  

We then drove to Ayvalik where we could NOT get insurance for the EU with  Iraq plate as John  did  not buy insurance in  Iraq as he  could not  find it.  We stayed at the Antikhan Guest House where J &   Y's  shower was about two inches above their heads.  We had a great dinner at Tik Mustafa'nin Yeri with many good reviews.   Food  was great.   

Next  mornning breakfast was great,  even  though everyone smoke in Greece annd Turkey.  We started driving to  Greece as we could  not take the ferry.

We were afraid that we would nnot be admitted without insurance, but alas GOD IS GREAT, we crossed and drove estra 12 hours to Athens.  On the way, we stayed in Kavala at the Blue Apartment adn had a great dinner by the sea.  Apiko on the main water fronnt drag.

We drove to Tessalonikii, Greece and stopped  at Church of St Dimitrios,  Patron of Thessaloniki  We  then went to t he  water a little swim at I think Leptokarya, all three of   us except Yvonne.  It was Asproneri Beach  at Kamena.  Onward to Athens.

We got to  the AirBnB and settled into apartment 3.  Very nice two bedroom and KR and  I went  to get din er.  We decided on Chiese.  We  wennt to bed.

9/14 was all   Hop  on adn Hop off  Bus.  It was great not having t o drive and park.  We  had dinnenr at a great restaurant called A Taste of Home.  We fell asleep adn took an Uber to the airport at 1 am.  Y & J slept onn.  The flight to Istanbul  was uneventful.  I appropriated about 2-3 pounds of baklava from the lounge to bring home.  They  were 25 euros at the airport per small  box and  I  was NOT  gonna buy any.  Alan brought us home and we cleaned up and KR took him to the airport for his flight home that inght.

Friday and what a day 8/29/2025

Well, my cortisone flare is still flaring but better.  My back though, feels like I need to lay on a tennis ball all day.

KR and I walked  Angel to the park and I went to yoga and Kurt went  to work and KR went to mom's to  trim the tree and all that

He also went and had lunch with Flip,  who is still with the hooker, and Jackie was there.  Sheesh. What is wrong with that man?

I tried to  ce my knees and nap but no  go.   KR went to the pool and I went for a ride to the bank.  HOWEVER,  I overdrawn on the Chase bank and had to drive to Wells Fargo to  get money to  deposit into chase.  

I  took out  2500 dollars for our t rip

Thursday

 Boy Am I glad I don't have to work.

THIS CORTISONE FLARE is very painful.  My knees were still hurting a lot  annd I took an ETor earlier and then two tylenol four hours a part.  We also went to the jacuzzi, very helpful.  I spoke to Johana she finally has an orthopaedic appt and not until middle of September.

MEDI-CAL SUCKS

Kurt had work and Corrina didn't leave until about 9 30

I tried packing more and spent a lot of time with ice packs.  KR weed whacked the y ard.  Kristina and Luis  came by  and we asked them to take care  of  the  pup for two days an  hour each.

Also gave them the keys to the condo so  they can hang a bit and just relax as their remodeling is gonna be like maybe six months.  WOW THAT WOULD DRIVE ME CRAXZY

I cauliflower rice and all the vegetables Sumi brought over:  cabbage with   carrots and spinach and mushrooms.

Honey  is getting more and more raggedy and  limpy.  She might go.  Told Kurt where to bury if she goes while we are gone.

Suday through Wednesday 8/27/2025

 Well, now I am lagging again.  Ramon and Kristina are busy  drillinng adn I wonder if KR could ap.

Sunday  we wet to church  and Corria and Kurt  are still i  Cabo haviog a great time.   He  did step onn a sea urchin and s craped his  knee  and shin.  HAHAHA  I can't remember what we  did

Momday ad KR had his group  and I did laundry.  Helen  went to  pick  up  Corrinna and Kurt and me and KR went up  to  El Torrinto for dinner with t he Monday  moring   group  and  wives.  There  were 12 of us,  very nnice group and dinnner.

I also saw Dr Andrwis ad had x rays of my kees and cortizone injection of both knees  He says I have some arthritis of the right knee in particular but the left is the one that hurts the most.  Oh well.  I have to think about the tendon release procedure after the trip. We were a few minutes  late  for the dinner at RO.

Kurt  let the chickens  out late and fed te cats.  

Tuesday  KR had his morninng group and I had a class cardio dance and I thought it  would  be ok, but my knees hurt ow .  We had bible study  and of course Cristian brought food.  Kurt also showed us the pics of his trip.  Cabo has changed A LOT since we were there.  Andrea and Maribel also came to  clean.  

Wednesday  dawn bright ad early.  KR weed whacks the serreity garden and then a nap.  I start packign for the  trip.  So much to do  My knees are really hurtig today.  Maybe iti s because of the cardio dance class I went  to yesterday,  which   I  just  looked up is  called 'steroid flare'  which  is a temporary  increase i  pain or swelling.  GREAT

Icing  really helps so I iced all afternoon.   Got five cans of  wet fancy  feast from Debbie and some creamer t oo.  Kurt got chicken  and  milk and Corrina came over for dinner.  Sumi is going to Europe tomorrow and dropped off a LOT  of  food.  We are set for Alan and everyone for the next week.  I took a tylenol and two advil, but still hurts

Sleep score was 73 today    Even though I got up three times to pee.  WOWOWO  I used the MAD and tape.  Only  wet for a 4.6 mile ride due to my kene pain.  

Well SATURDAY 8/23/2025

 I am ON TOP OF THINGS!!!  HAHAHAHA

Not really.  KR went surfing with Abby Brown this morning and she really likes it.  I told Zoe she has to get Abby a license and a car and her own surfboard and suit and then she will become a surf babe  HAAHAHAHAHA  Wonder what Jesse thinks of that

I clean  and cleaned and cleaned.  The garage is looking great.  Brought a whole bunch of stuff to the garage.  KR went up to Jeff's for fish but Jeff was not there.  So he just left a bottle of wine.

He went to FM and got some melons.  No lettuce.  But we are getting the sprouts from Katie so that is ok.  Ramon and Kristina's remodeling continues.  They removed a lot of the cement in the front and will be doing a footing soonn, I am sure.

I even vacuumed the garage.

I took several naps.  Just felt so so sleepy.  I also rode the bike around.  Got a set of 10 pounds weigh, plus a nice suitcase, carry  on size.

Went back and another lady was rootign through the stuff so I need to see if there is  anything tomorrow.

We went up to Jeff's again adn got a lot of fish.  Rocky, Patty, Ramon all got some

I bbq the fish ad KR had taco salad.

Friday 8/22/2025

 So KR was mad yesterday and he had an IPA PLUS the hard kambucha, and he doesn't  even like that  stuff

HAHA  i told  him he is letting the devil win, and he could just  pray.  He says, yup

I had a yoga class.  One yesterday and one today and I am SORE

He went  surfing  and   I  started cleaning the downstairs bedroom 'closet'.  Text Warren and he wants his stuff so I  guess I won't  throw out.

Then KR went to Costco and got some stuff, including a 24 PACK of IPA.  At a cost of 27.99USD$

He better not drink that too fast. 

He went  to play pickleball after a nap and I went to drop off the leather folio of dad's from UCLA to Flora's house.  I also rode around but didn't see anything.  I  did  clean the garage of some stuff and brought clothes to Karin to sell and clothes to Steven's for donationnn.

We had left over pork and went to Friday Night  Lite

 So  here we are  Thursday night and nary a post for the  last  four  days.

Originally I had an appointment with Dr. Eng but she called me last week so I did not need to go  Alan also drove down El Cajon in  the afternoon

Tuesday KR went surfing and gashed his leg terribly Andrea came to work and clean the house very well. I had to work Tuesday afternoon from 2 to 4 as Dr. Desai was taking her mom to see Dr. Kelliny to finish the root canal

On Friday I had a cardio class at the YMCA plus I had a little bit of cycling plus I played a little bit of pickle ball would KR before he played with the New Horizon Pickleball people. I just stood around near the net and not chase the ball too much so that my knees and hips don't hurt too much.

It was very nice to see everyone. Patty told me Leanna is having a baby girl. I am very excited for her and them. I did started a large project in the garage. I took out all my dental supplies and sorting through everything. I had told Willie Tan that I was going to Iraq and he had me contact Ginny and I will bring a lot of instruments.

KR's 50th High School Reunion Saturday August 2, 2025

 Oh what a day

KR was up early.  Excited I am sure.  Kirk came over and they went to the condo and loaded up all the wine and the limeade and other stuff and brought up to the library.  I went to a cardio dannce class at 10.  I have not been to one for weeks, and I am out os shape.

KR came back for a shower and a change annd I drove him up there.  Stopped on the way home to pick up cereal for Lovely and then got dressed myself and went and parked in the hanndicap parking right in front.

There were about 230 people.  Way too many and crowded and noisy and KR was having so much fun.  Denise finally showed up and they had a moment of silence before the prayer and the food was good.  We had a photo in front of the fountain.  I was VERY DIZZY.

There was Italian from Gaetano and hors d'oeuvres during 'happy hour'.  I ate too much.  I left about 5 30 and was really really tired.  I finally called KR at 9 as he said the venue closes at 8, well, he was talking and talking and we brought home a LOT of food.

Mostaccioli, rigatoni and penne and fruit salad.

I went to bed but sleep score was BAD

THURSDAY and I don't gotta work

 So KR went surfing and came back pretty early.  He had a gash above his left eye, and bleeding, PLUS he broke a fin on his back, tore his wet suit and has a gash on his back too.  BUT He HAD to play pickleball with Joann at 9 and then with Alan and Isaiah at 12.

Lovely had cleaned the garage so so nicely and we found some dishes that Kurt needs to figure out if he wants.  She has the whole front patio full of stuff for Savers or Sally.  

I made bacon early and made Kurt a sandwich.  Alan and Isaiah came after playing about 2 30 and ate some.  I sat out at the pool for about an hour and KR came for a quick swim and we came home.  I went to Sumi's to drop off her pan and my knees are hurting less today.

 I was able to change my appt with Dr Andrawis for this Friday.

I was on the phone with CheapoAir.  I should have book TWO one way tickets to Turkey, but no.So now I am going to try to book Athens to Iraq.  I also spoke with Grace at Orbridge on the trip to Italy and Switzerland.  Interesting, with Williams.  Into Italy and out of Zurich.

I then went to JJ and bough Dr Kelliny office some pastries.  |Met Monica and her mom there and Dr K opened the tooth, lots of pus and will finish in two weeks.

KR met Kirk Starbird and got the stuff innto the garage and condo for his reunion.  He also went swimming, after drinkig a beer and came home when Sumi was here bringing us bread pudding and scones.  WOWOWOWO

Angel wennt to the vet and had some antiemetic meds and fluids and ate some dinner and did ont throw up.  Emily said might be dog flu.  REALLY?  She threw up four times and I did so much laundry lasterday.  Twice on our bed, once on bed here, once on Kurt;s bed and once on the carpet here.  AND once in front of her crate.

Monday and what revelation ABOUT MY HIP

 I had such weird dreams last night and the sleep score is still no good.  Something about being on a train and going too far and taking the bus back that was 45 cents but  i only  had dollar bills.  I think Bill Wickwire might be in the  dream, maybe  kind of like a reuion or some kind of get together.

I went to see Dr Tiffany Rogers and she said I do NOT have a back problem.  She thinnnks the cup is ot placed right and I should see Dr Andrawis for a possible revision.  REALLY?????  I have been thinkign that theere is somethign wrong with the cup placement but Shrader just said nope nope it is only soft tissue.  

After that I went to the office and dropped off the meds for Dr Desai's mother.  I stopped  at El Super and spent 100 bucks on meat and stuff.  The rib eye steaks are now 15 dollars a pound.  WOWO

Came home and KR was doing yard work.  I went for a ride and he went to repair the pickleball net and went for a swim.  Kurt had work all day.  He didn't get home until about midnnight.

I spoke to Lovely and Maggie and Melissa about the hip issue.  Guess I am going to have more tests and see what is what

We saw a burger place called Fat Smitty's in Fairmont and stopped for a burger.  The ceilings were full of tacked up dollar bills.  We got to sequim and saw Bert and Tina and the kids, Gracie and Joseph.  We went to a picnic kind of a 4th celebrationn.  There must been a 100 people there.  All church goers.  Food was great.  We did not stay for the fireworks as Seattle did not get dark until 10.  We went back to the 'trailer' that we were stayingn at and promptly fell asleep.  I didn't even get up to pee.

The enxt day Saturday we went to Lake Cresent to paddle board and play.  It was so beautiful.  Maybe 45 min out.  Couple of hours later we went back to town at Mexican annd had a yummy  meal.  After sayingnn goodbye we went back to Seattle and stayed at The Dylan, a Wyndham property.  Well, it was juyst acquired and  used to be called the Kings Inn.  More like a drug den.  I didn't know when I booked.  But it was innn the middle between Pike Market and The Needle.  We slept on a full bed and they had grab ad go breakfast consisting of a pastry, one bottle water and a granola bar.

Sunday we walked to Pike market first, but the  linne for Original Starbucks was too long.  We saw paroski next door and bought some and they were fabulous.  Then we went back to the hotel to  get read for the Needle.  I had bought the needle ticket and the glass garden ticket the day before.  It was not crowded at 8 30.  We took the fast elevator up and it  was magnificent  view.  We even walked the glass floors, with me whinging all the way.  Then we went to Chihuly Glass Garden.  The stuff was amazing they make with molten glass.

Then it was lunch at Pikes Market.  We had oysters and then more pyrosky and some drinks and seafood chowder.  We staggered home tired.

Monday morning we checked out and found from the front desk Kerry Park up the hill really close by had a fabulous view.  HE WAS RIGHT !!! We drove up there and can see the Needle and Mt Ranier and all that.

The flight home was a mess.  We took a Uber and got  home by 4 30.  It was so nice to be home.  Angel was glad to see us.

Thursday off to Seattle

 What a morning.  Just   feels like there is so much to do.  KR went surfing after we walked to Hickory Park.  I just worked like a mad man cleaning and getting stuff sorted.  Took all of Lovely's stuff to the condo and picked plus.  KR lugged the large box of games she is suppose  to take back.

We had left over, I finished the soup and he ate the turkey sandwiches.  I also had to help him upload the innformation needed for his CCW.  Which was not easy, but done.

He watered and packed.  We brought two suitcases carryon style, back from the garage.  Uber picked us up at 2 40.  Will continue after we return.

Well we left at 5 15  and arrived at Seattle at 8.  Took  the  renntal car shuttle to National.  I had the thought that if I had thee National app, I might get in the front of the line.  We did.  the guy says : take a car, any car.  We got a hybrid Toyota Camry.  VERY nice car.  Ate some chicken sadwich at Super Chix in Tukwila Washinngton.  then went to the Best Western I  booked with  poinnts and passed out.

Wednesday Office meeting

 What  a day.  First is walk to the park then pick up Gains soap, FREE then office meeting.  I adjusted my Snoreguard and pulled my crown (#18) off, and had to cement it back myself as Monica had to meet with the social media guy for the office, and he was late.

Then it was PT and then blood work, at LabCorp.  My appt was 1:25 and they didn't take me in until 1:55.  What is the point about making an appt?  NO IDEA.

Came home and tried to put the house in order so we can leave tomorrow.  Went to  pick plums at the condo and cleaned the  garage a little.

I also cyccled about 6 miles.  Didn't sleep too good.  I thought I did

Tuesday FM and Bible Study

 Well, I didn't sleep any better but at least I slept next to KR.

He went to Bible Study and I cleaned until my Senior Cardio class.  The classroom mix up means the class didn't start until 9.  Oh well.  Andrea and Maribel came to clean.  KR got a lot of zuks and cantaloupe.  We served watermelon and cantaloupe and plums for Bible Study.

I also went to Ralphs about 7 am to buy  milk and lots of maple flavored bacon.  KR went to Mom's to make the bed as the sheets were dried before going body surfing at the beach.

Angel went crazy after a squirrel and I shot at it and missed.  KR finished it and she got blood all over her face.  I threw it on top of the container.  Let's see if it is still there tomorrow.

Bible Study was good.  KR founnd out Zen Del Rio had committed suicide by jumping off the PV cliffs.  He went up after BS to see if he can see Roman up there, who is suppose to be sleeping there in a tent.

Geez, that is just terrible that your father commits suicide.

MONDAY nightmares and last day of June

 What a night.  Nightmares

I had appt with Avi at Rose Hills but I didn't get a piece  of paper signed so  I had to go get Lovely to signn.

Came home and  KR was eating lunch after having   a beer, and  nnot telling me, but hey, I found the empty in the recycling.  He took a long nap.   

I went to the condo, totally exhausted, and did the laundry and hung them out and ran the roombas and picked up all the plumbs.

Came home and tried to nap.  NO GO.

PT at 3 was good

Went to the jacuzzi and then brought the sheets back in and came home   KR  had left over and I just lazy around and read the papers.

GEEZ

We were up and DIDN"T go to church.  I cooked ribs and fish and and KR had some and went back to bed.  I went for a 10 mile ride and stopped at Adele's.  Of  course they were not home, but one of her brothers was there and  getting  ready.

KR slept for four hours.  

We got dressed, and I was rushing as the traffic now says 49 min and we left a little late.  I could not  find my eyelash curler.  Has been ages and ages since I used one.  We were by the mall when I realized that I forgot MY SHOES !!!  WE TURNED around and went bnack for them.

WHAT  A WEDDING

According to Adele, they spent maybe about 500,000 USD.  Yup, that much. 

Julie and Aaron saved us a seat and it was full about 5 15 pm.  The rabbi started down the walk at 5 30.  It was warm outside.  The invitation said BLACK tie annd there was still people in suits, and ladies in short dresses, ONE EVEN HAD ONNE ABOVE THE KNEE

After the ceremony it was suhis, time with  cheese and fruit.  VERY GOOD.  The flowers were absolutely amazing.  Then the trumpetters sounded and 7 pm we enter the 'Crystal Ballroom' to  a 12 piece band singing their hearts out.  With more amazing table decorations and flowers and we were assigned a great table.  We sat with Julie, Aaron, Sumi and Bruce, Isaac and Harry  and Jeff and  Julie and another couple no one knew.

The danncinng and the food  and the music and the HAVA NAGILA and all that

We were exhausted and KR had at least 6 drinks and cough syrup and he was so so tired that I was afraid he  would have a relapse of the cold.  

We left after they cut the cake, but we didn't stay for any.

I drove home and had a terrible night sleep.

Saturday 2/28/2025 James' 68th birthday

 KR is still sick

We were up early, and KR took Angel down to the beach.  Later we walked to Lago Seco Park.  There was a baseball game or twoo so there were a lot of people there.  KR took a nap when he came home, then ate something and took another nap.  He is thinking of not going to the wedding.

I went to my 10 am cardio class.  It was a teacher I have never seen before and she was great.

KR went to bed early.  I had to drive Kurt and Corrina to Aquarium of the Pacific for an 'after party' that Marathon Oil was putting on.  Kurt and Corrina took a Uber home.

Friday Pickleball and Bible Study

 Well, so KR is sick.  

He slept downstairs last night and got a great sleep score.  He is coughing a little but more congestions than anything else.  Tried to surf but no go.  He   took a little nap before our 11 am pickleball ball at NH.  We first shim the washer,  and he  smashed my finger  lightly.  Then we played about 50 min, I was  very tired  and got some blood down my arm.  Guess I scratched myself.  I also returned a volley with my right thumb so that is bruised too.    HAHAHAHA

We came home for lunch and  he took a  nap.  I tried but did not.  Adele and Joe  and Mary came by and we went  to the  condo  and  gave them a key.  

Then Kurt came home, early, they had Orange Coast College visit today and brought two extra lunches home.  GOOD BOY

We walked Angel to the park and had light dinner and went to Bible Study.

Jason Gallegar is driving me  crazy with circular logic.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 6/27/2025

 So three days have gone by.  HAHAHA   

KR went to Bible study and I went to strength class.  Then I had pilates right after that.  I went for a ride and found some books and a vitamix but it did not want to turn on so it is for electronic recycling.   KR went to FM and got some flowers from Marie, and some tomatoes and not much else.  

John W  came by and we fed him dinner and  he went to spend the night  at mom's condo.

Wednesday KR and John annd Doug had breakfast at Hennessey's.  I had found some mushroom chocolate, yup, some ROAD TRIP Mushroom chocolate in  Kurt's room.  I was so mad.  KR went to the jacuzzi and didn't come back for  an hour.  He said there were too many people there.  So I went for a bike ride around, as I didn't want to face Kurt by myself.

Well, we had it out.  He is SUPPOSE to be trying to find a place.  Chris the guy he was hoping to move out with is in debt due to his DUI.  Well, duh, what did you think?  You can drink and drive and not get caught?

Well, it was just not a good night

Thursday I worked.  6 45 - 1.  Not that many patients, but my hand was hurting.  I took 15 mg mobic and it was ok until the end of the day.  KR had TWO LARGE BEERS!!!  And napped for two hours.  Said he thinks he is getting sick, so he slept downstairs with Angel.

Kurt had work all day and went to see Corrina.

 We were up early and KR goes surfing. Kurt had spent the  night  at Corrina's and he went to COTB and they went surfing after.   KR came home and  packed  and got ready.   Mike T came at 1 30  to  pick   him up to carravan up to Kernville.

Sleep score was 70 and I started working on the curtains and moving stuff around at mom's.  I moved the single bed so it is parallel to the window and placed the end table next to the wall.  I also took out all the pads and tried to give them away, but no taker.  I needed the twin bed lowered so the low end table can be accessed.  

I also made the bed up in the master, so the whole day was exhausting.

Went for a ride and delivered some squash.  I cooked some inn the soup too.

I went back again about 9 30 and the Navarro's were arguing and I guess someone called  the police and  they gave this Prius that was parked illegally at the corner a ticket !!!!

I went to bed at 10

Thursday, Friday and Saturday

 It is now Saturday night and now I can't remember what is happening.  

We walked the dog to the park at 9 30   I also biked to pick up the book on Kent street.  Also went to the bank to pay 4100 USD of James' momney.  His check actually came in from Sag Aftra over 5000 dollars.  HAHAHAHA

Then I went again  to the alleys.  

I am sore all over Thursday.  My deltoid, etc.  Sleep score is bad at 40

Friday was easy day.  49 sleep score.  Cycling all the way to Fernando's to pick up my kangaroo pillow.  I love it.  Sleep is bad.  KR tried to fix the washer and no go.  Patty said it was rattling around so much and we did everything and is still rattling.

I posted on BNT and a lady Lisa was giving onne away.  Front loadiong.  HMMMM  Well we shall see. 

Bible study by Jasonn and I just don't agree on 24 hour day for God's creation.

Satrurday KR went surfing again.  I got us a new washer for the condo.  It was so heavy and Kurt and KR and Corrina all went to help.  I  will make curtains tomorrow.

I went to ARMED chruch for the Mother Daughter tea and it was a great event !!!!  Diamond and Christine annd her other daughter inn lawwas there.  I had a great time

We went out to dinnner with Mike and Carole.

Job bible study and Pickle Ball today

 It is going to be 82 today.  KR went surfing, but only did a little body surfing.  I vacuumed the downstairs and the garage.  KR came back and started cooking the beets annd then getting the carrots ready for juicing.  Sleep score is bad again, plus I have an abrasion inside my  nose that hurts.

We went over there by 9 to play pickle ball.  VERY first time for us and wouldn't you know it, I tried so hard I could not move.  So we played for an hour and half and we were all sweatign up a storm, and KR is so so good at this evenn though he never played before.  Patty and Tom have their own paddles andn there were two in the exercise room so we played.

Tom and I were the team and we lost 1 - 3.  I had to leave at 10 30 to take Kathleen to her PT and I was starvinng and hypoglycemic.  I wennt to Sams to buy cat food and then dropped all the food off.  KR had came home and was juicing the carrots.  After picking  up and dropping off Kathleenn I went to the jacuzzi when everything was seizing up.

I laid around ALL AFTERNOON and my back and hands and shins and feet all hurt, plus my head. I did NOT go to Job.  SAD

Headache all night long.

Bible Study Tuesday

 So KR went to his class early and then to surfing and  quickly to FM and then to meet with Mark Regan again! to discuss his jaw situation.  Sheesh.  Mark still has not done anything  to get the monney from his brother.  I had a weight class and then pilates.  Patty annd Tom played pickle ball and  then came here for lunch.  I cooked the brussel sprouts and they had turkey/roast beef with cheese sandwich and I had some lengua, and they also like that.  AHAHAHAHA  Being chinese and all.

They went back to play  golf.  Wowo, and KR took a nap and I  tried but no go, so I went for a short ride and tried to get rid of all  the  vegetables.  We had some overripe  cantaloupe  but they  were good.  So we served that with some strawberries and couple bits of watermelon.

Cristian bought a lot of sushi  again !!!  Plus turkey  sandwiches and we  had the cheese platter, and added crackers.  The topic was the 9th commandment and the  discussion was 'lively'.  Burt says this is the most  unusual small group he has ever being in. I just flat told the group that I will continue to make small 'white' lies,  like  "YOUR dress look beautiful".  Pam did NOT approve but  hey,  that is why she never married, I guess.

Went to bed late. 

Sleep score bad today

Monday Dinner with Patty and Tom

 It was a nice sunny day.  KR had his group and I had some weird sleep.  I thought was good but the score was not.  Oh well.

I did a load of laundry and cleaned the house.  

KR went surfing and then had lunch, my yummy taco salad.  I went to cardio dance class at 8 30 then a pilates class at 10.  

I napped all afternoon, it seems.  Also cleaned the garage, getting rid of the bench was really good.  

Patty, Tom, KR and I plus their two kids, Nicole and Keith went to Waraku Japanese Restaurant for dinner.  Patty and Tom played TWO hours of Pickle Ball in the afternoon.  They are goingn to try out the jacuzzi too.  HAHAHAH

We were in bed by 9 30

Fathers Day 2025

 It was a good day. 

Corrina went home, we were hoping she would go to church with us.  It was a guess speaker and I just could not follow him too well.  KR did not stay for Q&A as they were going to have a Father/Son bonding day.  They put the bikes up and then went down to the beach.  They rode along the strand and had lunch at Playa Hermosa and then came back for some swimming and body surfing.  

I was home and fixed my bike kick stand and vacuum and organized the garage and  cooked the taco meat.

We all had a nice lonng nap.  

I had a sleep score of 68 with 7 hours of sleep.  Wow

I cycled for 8 miles and tried to go running first but my adductor was too painful.

Tyler text KR and  tried to call him but KR didn't answer.  Will finally text KR at 8 pm wishing him a Happy Fathers Day.   SO SO LATE

Tyler tried to call me but I would not answer

Saturday flag day 6/14

 I changed the top sheet.

We walked Angel to New Horizon and tried to start the curtain wire.  Well, one of the insert was stripped so I need to order some more and return that one.  SHeesh  

KR had to go to the beach to help Donna with Royal Family Beach day.  Then we went to FM and got a LOT of brussel sprouts and I gave a lot away.  I dropped him off at church.  It was BBQ and beer day, so he ate a lot of hot dogs and drank two beers.  I picked him up, and he took a nap.  

I went for a ride and got six very nice plates, plus a bunch of recycling.  KR and Kurt wanted Jack in the Box, Corrina came over and had dinner with them.  I didn't eat.  I had too much lunch oatmeal/cranberry cookies.  

KR weed whacked and I watered the yard.  Tomorrow is Fathers Day !!

Patty and gang were suppose to arrive tonnight

Friday Bible study

 We were up early, and  I didn't sleep too well again.  KR always have better sleep score.  We went to the YMCA for the fathers day lunch it was very good.  BBQ chicken, pork rib and sausage.  KR didn't win anything though.  

Came home for a nice nap, by KR  I went for a ride.  at 4 and got some clothes.  

Bible study was Jason on Genesis.  I just don't believe in the first few chapters that the DAY is actually 24 hours.  Will have discussion with Lovely about that when she comes. 

Working Thursday 6/12/2025

 I had some weird dreams and woke up several times, and finally at 5 30  to go to work.  The new  extern is nice and KR came in at 9  30 to do  RCT on  one of Maribel's sister.  #19.  He did a great job.  I had to do the build up as he had a board meeting at Valor.

I got done at 12 45.  My right hand hurts.  Sheesh,  and I felt like I could  not scale tough calculus too much.  REALLY???

I went for a bike ride and KR brought  three tacos  home.  I had a bite and we all took a nap.  I was up for my 5 pm class at the Y and  then we walked Angel around New Horizon.  She was very  excited about all the new dog smells.

Kurt cooked the orange chicken, and mac and cheese and I grilled zuks and bacon.  Corrina came and ate with  him and spent the night.

Wednesday more Job

 Well, guess I did't sleep too well again.  Bad sleep score.

Went to cardio class at 8 30 KR went surfing.  Was not very good he says but he just got some exercise.  Kurt went to work all day.

I did laundry, washing the large pillow that smells like Angel

Gave BunBun flea medicine.  She has been scratching

Went cycling and I forgot to mention, yesterday I found a new air fryer.  I will give it a try to see if I like it.  Also went over to mom's and got all the stuff for Savers and stuff for Steven and dropped the stuff off so the garage is alot better now.

Went and walked Angel at Lago Saco Park.  KR got a swarm of bees from the water meter box.  After Bible Study he went back and got them and brought them over to John Crookston and I went to bed by 9 15

Tuesday 6/10/2025

 KR is being weird for the last few days.  Who knows.

He had Bible study and I was fast asleep until about 7 20.  I thought I had better sleep, felt like it but nope.  Sleep score 45, bad bad and bad.

First is strength class at 8, with a new instructor, and I liked her.   Then KR came home and went to FM so I went to the cardio dace class, the SENIOR one.

KR had a meetinng with the Reunion Board and he had lunch at Lunada Market and I went to see Dr David Suh for my impression of "Mandibular Repositioning Device".  They took a CT and then a pano and Dr Suh scanned me and will be ready in about 2 weeks.  MAYBE

Came home and tried to take a nap.  NO GO

Bible study, 8th Commandment

Monday

 Don't even know what happened.  I guess I had bad sleep with the mask, and attended two classes at the Y.  First is cardio at 8 30, Then pilates at 10.  Came home and hung the laundry out.  We had taken Angel to the park first thing in the morning.

I think he went surfingn and I had ran the Roomba in the garage, and he cleaned them, after I asked.  The garage floor is so so nice now.  Even under the cabinets.

Kurt had work all day.

I didn't go to bed until late, listening he the Reacher story, but I still missed a bunch and had to repeat some.

Oh KR did go surfing after we walked the dog.

Sunday 6/8/2025

 I didn't even get up to pee and I thought the score would be great as I had some weird dream about me looking for KR and escaping from a high rise bburning building.

NOPE, score of 46 but I felt pretty good.

Went to church.  Kurt stayed over at Corrina's and didn't go to church.  Said he did it online.  He was gone all day.  

We walked Angel to the park before church.

Right after KR came back from Q&A we went to Desi's graduation party at their house in Gardena.  I had picked up a whole platter of Rascal chicken salad from Mike Ryan and we kept half of it and brought the other half to the party.  There were a lot of people and a lot of food.  We ate and came home and took a nap.

I went cycling to pick up some pants for Will.  I will give them to him when I  go to the tea at ARMED church  in two weeks.

KR baked a apricot cobbler after walking Angel.

I changed the top sheet  so dirty.  I also spent the whole day vacuuming the garage with the Roomba's.  WOW  it is very clean now.  And so much dust and dirt picked up.

Desi's graduation AND the quinceanera of Brianna

 WHAT A DAY

I got a great score of 77, but still felt tired

We went to the fire road, then I left for the graduation at Hope Chapel Hermosa and KR ate and went to the Amberg memorial.  He was suppose to go to FM but HE FORGOT !!!!

I went cycling for 8 miles around town.  Then a nap.

We left for the quiceanera at 3 and got there about 5.  Maribel says they start on time.  WELL, THEY DIDN"T.  She went to one too the same night and hers were VERY fancey with glasses and sitdown and all that.  Ours were plastic cups and Costco plastic plates and people were dressed fancy and not so, like t shirt and jeans.

We had a great time, and Gloria was very nnicely dressed and KR danced with Briana as the other abuelo and he was very good.  We got to bed about 11 30 and was exhausted.

Friday BLINDS got put on and I don't feel too good

 6/6/2025  D Day and Mike Gooch's 66th birthday. 

I got an 81 sleep score.  KR took Angel to the beach and I went to the cardio class.

We then went to mom's and got the blinds put up, and tested mom's bed  HAHAHAH

KR did a great job measuring and putting them up.  I cleaned and cleared all the stuff and posted the bubble wrap and they all got taken.

We decided to go out to lunch and tried Ubon Thai at Torrance rossroad.  VERY GOOD.  They have been there 11 years and we never tried it?  We order THREE items plus mango sticky rice.

I felt terrible all afternoon.  Queasy, even at lunch I felt a general humming and just not hungry.  Came home and took a nap for an hour and half.

Still didn't feel well and my knee locked  Had to use heatinng pad to get it unlocked.

KR went to Friday ninght light and I stayed home.

Thursday NO WORK

 AHAHAHAH  I love it now every other week work. 

KR tried to go surfing   No go.  I went to the cardio class and KR went to clean the condo.  Ic ooked ribs and zuks from FM and he had them foro lunch.  KR was at moms for hours and it looks very nice.  In the afternoon the blinds were delivered and we will go over there and put them on the windows.

I canceled my core conditiooning class as my knee locked up again.  I used the heating pad and it went away.  This is so weird that my  left knee is locking up so I cant bend more than 45 degrees.

I went for a short bike ride.  We walked Angel to the park.  Kurt had work all day.  His sunflowers are blooming at the ofice.  

KR's plantings are doing great and we have so manny monarch caterpillar 

Tuesday, Wednesday

 If I forget to post, I just cannot remember what happened.

I went to my cardio clcass but had to leave early as it was way too loud. So I finished the time on the stair climber.  KR  went to FM and got some zuks and some onions and  lettuce.  Not  much  We  went  to  Kalveras for  lunch,  cheap and fast.   

We tried taking a nap.  KKR had an appt with Dr Emily about Angel's leg but  it was getting better as we were giving her Mobic.  She said the bump on Angel's forehead is ok, nnot to do  anything.

We did nnot have Bible study which was good.  I didn't feel too good.  Tummy weird.

Wednesday  was OFFICE MEETING, and Mark and Lisa were there.  I asked him again  when they were gonna update  the website and  he  got pissed.   I guess I don't really care.  We ironed out the schedule and I am not working anymore than I told them.  No more subbing. My right  hand hurts.

All day I felt bad.  First my stomach.  Then I was at mom's working  and my knee gave out while I was trying to put the curtain rods together.  Then my knee WOULD NOT BEND!!!!

In the afternoonn we were going back to mom's to  clean and Angel banged into me, and knocked my knee and not is it actually just fine.  Sheesh.  

We had Bible Study on Job.  I was so so exhausted. 

I used the nasal pillow onnly a few hours.

Monday June 2, 2025

 What a lousy night.  Tossed  and turned and could  not sleep.  Finally got up about  4 30.  Put the dishes away and ate a banana.  

Went walking t o the park with  KR and  Angel  then to the classes at the Y.  First was weigh, and I think  I did my shoulder in, and now it is  sore.  Then it was pilates.  I was too hungry so I left at  10 30 and came home and ate.  

KR had gone to  Armstrong and bought a  lot of plants.  He worked for hours planting and weeding, all for the butterflies.  I washed Kurt's blanket.  He spent the night at Corrina's.

I also cleaned and went for a ride.  Got a big jacket.

Cooked some pork stew, with celery.   Very good.

Took a long nap.  An hour and 20 min    Felt queasy most  of the a fteroon

Church and Nap Sunday

 So I used the nasal MASK last night and sleep score was 61.  An improvement but I don't like the  mask.

We walked Angel to the park.  She is limping less but KR is still taking her to the vet to have the bump checked out.  Today was the last of her Mobic pill.

We went to church.  Kurt was slightly  late.  He had an appt with Corrina (counseling) again at 1.  Wonder who sees them on  Sunday.   I cooked fried chicken and KR already had some breakfast, he had lunch ad we took a nap.

I had a weird dream that I was on a levee ad there was an  alligator inn the water and the levee was tiltign and I  was falling into it and I woke up (still in the dream) and was telling  KR about my dream when I really woke up and HAD TO TELL HIM MY DREAM AGAIN.  It  was so so weird.

I went for a ride pickcing up some Dove body wash.  Gonna  leave at the condo.  Getting everything ready for the guests coming.

I could not sleep  ad went to bed about  10 and tried the maskk and said NOPE  and took it off and could  nnot sleep  all night. 

Oh so many CAULIFLOWER Saturday anniversary of Father's passing THREE YEARS

 This is the last  day of May.

Father passed three years ago now.  I talked  to Mimi, Seems like no one  misses him.  Warren wants  a  divoorcce I guess  because he had a girlfriend.   Like father like son.  

KR went surfing after we walked Angel at Miramar Park.  She  is  still limping a little.  But she is onn Mobic so is getting better.  

KR went to FM and got about 50 heads of  cauliflower.  We m ade cauliflower rice annd  soup with cauliflower.  

Kurt went  to the airport to pickc  up Corrina.  They were in Boston for Connor's girlfriend's graduationn or something like that.

He stayed up there until 2 or so.

We went to the jacuzzi and then dinner.

Friday night light with Jason

 I was not sleeping well.  Sleep score 50  Sheesh

First went to cardio class.  Rather  slowly.  Then it was yoga  

KR went on a  bike ride with Flip and then had dinner at Baja Sharkeez  whicch he had only one beer.

I was home most day.   Did not feel too good.

Went to Friday nnight light with Jasonn and I don't believe the 7 24 hour period in Genesis, neither does  Lovely.

Working Thursday, sort of

 I was up and ready for work.  It was so weird to go to work after having almost a month  off.  Last time I worked was May  1, and today is the 29.

However, half  of my patients canceled so I was done by  9 30.  YIPPEEEE

I went to El Super  and bought over 100 dollars worth of meat and stuff.

Came hoome and KR did NOT HAVE ANY ALCOHOL !!!   Cat was away and the mouse did NOT play.

I made tendon and then brisket and cooked all the vegetables.  Very dizzy so laid around all afternoon.  KR went surfing in the afternoon after a nap and I went to the 5 pm Core class.  I needed it.  

Kurt had work all day.  I even prepped his lunch this morning.  Fried chicke, yogurt, banana and Gatorade.

social security done

 So I  got poor sleep score.  We went down to the beach and only walked Angel around Miramar park.  She is still limping.  I went to the Social Security office and there was 15 people already lined up.  I was there 15 min early.  

By 9 30 I was done.  They recorded that mom had passed away on  5/7 and   no more checks would  be forecoming.

Stopped at Optum and got the list of  the dentist that  will be making my Mandibular Repositioning device.  I called Night Owl and made an appt for this  Friday.

Came home and  KR HAD ANOTHER BEER, a large one. I thought after yesterday, in which he drove while with .05 BAC that he would not drink for awhile.  

I WAS WRONG

He finished the floor board and I went to mom's and spent about an hour and half cleaning the windows and all that.

We had light dinner and went to church for Bible Study on Job

Tuesday 5/27/2025 Diane Krieger's Birthday

 I was up before KR's alarm went off, dreaming about cutting out a silhouette of a snake but someone lost parts of it.  Weird dream.

I did laundry and KR went to his class.  I canceled mom's account with chase.  Will be calling social security to stop the payments and the insurance too.  A lot of things to do

Sleep Score was 79, just like yesterday
