Easy Wednesday last day of April, 2025

 Lovely's topic is BUSY Wednesday, not mine.

I could not sleep with the CPAP last night, felt like I  was being water boarded but the sleep score was 82.  I called the Sleep Coach and they turned down the humidifier to 4, but it has been on 5 and no problem.

SHEESH

After a little session, KR went surfing and I went to the weigh training class.  I could not  do a lot of the knee stuff, so I didn't.  KR had Sarah's chili for lunch.  She dropped it off.  I went for a ride to LuSieng and then went to the garage.  Tim and company had moved everything out of the garage rafters.

It was a very dizzy day.

I tried napping, no go.  KR had a nap and Doug came to visit and KR had a chiro appt 

I had some meatloaf and went to bed early.

WORK TOMORROW

Carr screening Tuesday

 THIS IS THE LAST ONE !!!!  I went to North Torrance to screen.  The nurse and the students were great.  It was Big Sue with Sandpippers, but I told Tracy she was working with her. 

We were done by 11 30 and we got some of their lunch, teriyaki chicken and rice.

KR went for a run o the beach and the lunch with Flip at Kalvera's taco tuesday.  He took a nap while I went to Chiro.  Only  20 min.  My back did't like the adjustment too much.  Shoulder sore, hip sore.  Baker's cyst sore.  Sheesh

I also went for a 6  mile bike ride.  Lovely RUNS  6  miles  everyday  and I can hardly  ride that much.  

Then I  took an hour nap (3:30-4:30) before my 5 pm yoga class.  

Kurt had appt with Corrina this morning and then work.  KR took Angel for a walk and the it was left over sandwich of Kurt's for dinner with salad.  He didn't go to FM.

I was in bed by 8 30

Monday and still very dizzy

So the back is better and the sleep score is better but in the middle of the night I had to take off the CPAP as it was driving me nuts

KR had the Monday group and I had yoga class at 9.  Had cardio but I canceled.  The back is still a bit weak.   

KR tried to go surfing but no go so he did a lot of yard work.  I cleaned out the games and posted them.  Then  I text Lovely a nd she said she wants them.  HAHAHAHA   So I have to  retract the give. 

I gave away three yoga mats.

I went for a short ride.

We went for a walk up Fire Trail.  EXCEPT Angel was having none of it so we fed Prince and  came home.

I made turkey meatloaf and potatoes and frozen vege and they had yummy dinner.

Kurt had work all day.

Yesterday he said he was moving up to Corria's for a week of 'trial'.  Really?  Does that mean he is not paying rent at either place?  I text Diamond and she and Will are moving to the back house of her aunt?  Guess they  can't pay  rent.  The car is still abondoned at Lowe's as Will cannot afford to have it fixed.  Sheesh.  Just junk it then and have some cash.

Sunday and it rained again

 I had 9.5 hours of sleep and 82 sleep  score.  I guess the CPAP is working.  However, the asal pillow kept leaking annd KR had to nudge me awake to fix it.  I finally took it off about 3 or 4 am

We went to the beach for a walk and then it was church.  Kurt went up to Corrina's with my car as I took his truck to take the desk inn the garage to Savers.  I managed to lift it onto the truck without wrecking my back.

I tried taking a nap after KR came home, but did dnot sleep.  I went for a 6 mile ride.  The back was ok.  Not great, but healing.

I heard that Will and Diamond are moving BACK to the  Johnson's again !!!!  They cannot make the  rent and had to move.

Sheesh

Recovering Saturday 4/26/2025

 My back is recovering   KR and I walked to the park with Angel.  He then went to Men's Breakfast.  I did  practically NOTHING  all day as my knee and back were not happy.

He came back with two halves of breakfast burrito.

Kurt came home from Chris' about 11 and was asleep all morning, the watching video all day.

I tried making a sock for Bun and she tried to chew it off so  the cone had to stay on.

It was take back drugs at Sam's club so I went to Christine's and Kathleen's and picked up their stuff ad dropped of at Sam's.  IT WAS POURING RAIN on the way there.  It rained for about two hours today.

I even took a NAP !!!!   WOWOWOWO

Lovely is  down in Taitung cheering on the Tri team.  She  didn't get much sleep.  I just cannot do that.

We walked Fire trail in the afternoon. 

My new XS sleep pillow for the CPAP came and seems to fit better.

Dinner was soup and left over burrito and not much for me.  I just don't seen to have much energy.

Friday and my back is recovering

 I had 9 and half hours of sleep !!!  The machine says 100 score but the watch says 79.  That is a lot of sleep.

KR took Angel to the beach and I wrapped Bun's foot and took her cone off.  She is much happier, able to groom  herself.  I also  cleaned the back patio and getting ready for the rain tomorrow.

It is suppose to rain tomorrow 10 - 11 and that is it.

Only 35%

KR had lunch with Kirk and Doug and we took a nap.  I was OUT like a light and slept for over hour and half.  KR cooked the fish and we walked to the park before the Friday night Light at the church.

Bob Paruka was the speaker.

Thursday and no work 4/24/2025

 KR had screening at Carr so we walked Angel to the park.  It was cold and gloomy.  Maribel called for he to help, as Larry Hashimoto forgot to tell her that he could not make it.  HAHAHA  KR is going to be working HARD.  I told Maribel I had too many things to do and Bunbun is not well.  And Angel will be home alone.

I went to a weigh class and it was good.  I never get to do her class but since I didn't have to work...

I tried making socks for Bun but she is not having any of it.  Freda and Charity came by for some fish.  

I went for a ride and my back went out. Yup, I didn't do ANYTHING and it was so painful.

I laid around all afternoon and all night and took some advil annd some tylenol and went to bed by by 8 40

It better get better tomorrow.

Wedesday and what a fiasco for KR

 Well, we walked to the park first.  KR had screening at Jefferson, right here on Carson but instead of opting out, the nnurse had the kids op IN so there were hardly anny kids.  He was home by 10 30 ad wet to take Angel for a real walk.

I went to San Pedro to drop off the bunny cage and some towels from mom's.  Then dropped off the play  pen and the electronic recycling at Savers.  Then to Mary's to look around and talk to her.  THe place is almost empty and Sora and friends are going to clean the place and remove the rest of the stuff.

Came home and Doug dropped off a hunk of fish.  I cooked some and it was amazing.  Had some as sushi too.  KR had a sandwich for lunch and then fish and rice and vegetables for dinner.  We gave a piece to Patty and Chuck  and Christine / Ramon.  Not much left.  The cats like them too.

Bun is very unhappy with her collar.  But she has to wear it or she chews her stitches.

KR went up to Jeff's to pick up fish and pick up bees.  We have LOTS of fish.

Went to bed with the CPAP and felt like I had pretty good sleep, but alas no.  ONLY 65

Last night I forgot the watch so no score

Tuersday and back at the Y

We walked Angel to the park.

 Finally I go to cardio dance.  After last  nnight's Core  Conditioning, I  needed more classes  Out  of shape.  My heart rate went all the way up to about 150

KR had screening  at Jefferson.  BUT the nurse really screwed up.  Instead of kids opting out, they had  to  op in and of course no one read the forms.

So he was back by 10 30.  He took  Angel out  to PV for checking the surf.

I had so many errands to do.  i went to San Pedro and dropped the hamster cage off, plus a bunch of towels I got at mom's.  We don't need that many.  I also went to Kathleen's to empty her commode.  Which is not really bad.  Just pee and toilet paper.

I also went to Ralphs and bought a pizza and some other food.  I thought I bought cottage cheese, but ended up buying sour cream.  REALLY????

I dropped off clothes at Steven's and the leaf blower from Freda that did't work at Salvation Army.

Finally came home and was tired.  We got fish from Doug.  I cooked it, KR went to pick up bees at Helen's and fish from Jeff.  We gave a piece to Ramon and Kristine, one piece to Patty and one to Chuck.  

Then KR got a whole lot from Jeff.  SHEESH  so much fish.

Kurt went up to Corrina's and took the tealights as Rene is gonna ask Inaya to marry him tomorrow or something.

Monday oh what fun TWO times LAX

 So it was gonna  be an interestinng day

KR had group with the Monday morning, and I cleanend and waited for Abby to text.  Her plane was about half hour late.  Went to LAX to pick her up, and the traffic was nnot bad.  Stopped at Wells to get her 4000 USD of Lovely's money, then came home  and tried to buy extra luggage for her two extra's, one suitcase and onne guitar.  NO GO

We called and no onne could figure out why so much, Lovely tried to do it inn Taiwan and no go.

So we left the guitar here and she paid 120 USD for the extra.  WOW

We then went to the Marinna Cafe in Wilmington Harbor to have lunch with KR and Kurt.  We drove separately.  It was VERY interesting to be down at the harbor.  Never seen so many decrepit boats, and many boats on sale. 

I drove Abby back to LAX and she left. 

Came home and met Tim and Jim and Kit, they brought the secretary over, and we decided to put it in the garage.  Tim and Jim had lunch in the condo and I chatted with them.  Showed them the remodeling as they have all seen the condo before.  I vacuumed a little before they came.

Dinner was not much as I am getting FAT.  112 plus pounds.  NO NO

KR had left over lasagna with the burger patty.  We also picked up two packs of wagu beef that we bought.

Easter 2025

 Where does the  time go

We were up  early early  early  for the sunrise service at COTB  Corrina spent the night and us four went down there and Helen came too.  It was great, sermon by  Jason with  a little skit.

We came home for fresh  squeezed OJ, and eggs and bacon  and  toast.  Then we took a very short nap and went to Branch.  Kurt and Corrina took a nap and then went up to her  house.  They had Easter dionner with Helen.  We  came home and KR prepared the salad and we went to  the  Gooch's.

We had turkey a nd  h am  and  chicken and mac and cheese with  our  salad   and pasta salad and strawberry  short cake.   YUM

Peter  and Paula  and Katie and the  other  lady  who mentors at  Royal Family, the Egyptian MD was there.  We came home and  I  took a LONG nap.

Dinner was nothing  for me.   Getting fat.  KR had salad

Kurt came home late.

Abby will be here  tomorrow.

Mary should have been with us at COTB.  What a week

He is RISEN

NOT very good sleep Saturday 4/19/2025

 We went to Veteran's Park to walk Angel then we stopped at mom's garage and I movd t he ccar out and got the  upper rafters ready  for Mary's stuff that she wanted to save for Sean.  Tim and Kit moved almost everything to  the top  of both garages.

KR went to FM, got very little stuff.  He bought stuff for the salad we are bringing to the Gooch's tomorrow  Very little lettuce for the chickens.  I  think everyone was getting ready for  Easter dinner or something.  

Then Reggie told KR that there was free compost in San Pedro.  He asked Kurt to  go with his truck and Kurt brought back a whole truck load.  KR put  them everywhere.  He was very tired.

I went for a ride.  Dropping some earthquake food off for Naby  and posting a lot of stuff from the garage.  The toaster oven, the corn hole game, the  tubs that  are too  large, etc.  Almost all got picked up including  the shower  chairs and the porta potty.

Corrina came over and they went over to Amanda's.  Corrina is spending  the night and they  are all goingn to the 6   am sunrise service.  Yipee

Good Friday 2025 Sheets changed

 Well, it started with Bun getting an  x ray  and her toe is broken.  SHEESH  We made an appt for Tuesday  at the Culver City pet orthopaedic clinic and then I managed to get a Monday appt.  We sent the x ray to Eric who is in Hawaii with Colleen.  

KR and I walked Angel to the park.  It was a cloudy day most morning.   I changed the sheets and the wind dried the sheets pretty good.  

I gave Bun some Gabapenti  for pain  as she is not putting wt on her left front  paw  at a ll.

After speaking with Eric, we decided Jerome's wife, Emilie can just  remove the toe at the tune of 1500 bucks and not go to Culver City.  SHEESH

That Angel dog, I don't know what she did to break Bun's toe.

We went to Norm's for lunch.  I had BOGO trout with coleslaw and mashed potatoes and it was great.  

I actually took a LONG nap.

I went to MY orthopaedic appt in Manhattan Beach with Dr Feder, who looks like a very nice Jewish man, who worked on Neil Kaplan and he did a bunch of   x rays and did  some movemets of my shoulder and said Celebrex for two weeks, plus diclofenec topical three times a day and see him in two weeks for a cortizone injection.  We shall see.  I  do have a torn labrum

I rushed to Good Friday s ervice, KR says I got the time wrong.  It  is 6 pm at KHC and so I went hjome, and stopped  at the garage.  THERE are so many boxes from Mary's and Tim and Katherine were just leaving, I had them restack some stuff so that we can get to the camping stuff.  More are comingn.

The service was interesting, did nnot see Mike D at all.  Some other kid led the service.  Well, he looked like a kid.

We came home and KR had some light dinner, is left over fettacini and went to bed.

Working Thursday

 I didn't get up  until 6 1 5 so it was a mad dash out the door.

It was not THAT busy but steady.  KR had screeningn at Torrance El with  Maribel annd Tracy.  I got home at 12 50 and went for a ride.

He took a  nap and  I  went  for  a  ride.  I first  met Katerine at mom's garage to show her how much room was there  for her to storage Sean's  stuff.  I also w ent up  to  Steven's  and dropped off a bunch of  suitcases and clothes.  He was gardening.

KR took  Angel  to  the golf  course.   I stopped  at Ralphs  and bought turkey and  made  turkey meat  loaf with  potatoes cooked in bacon grease.  It was very g ood.

Vertigo still  bad

We were up and KR went to study at church and I had 81 sleep score   WOW

Tried to call Optum Pulmonogy but their phone was bad.  I went cycling at 4 pm,  only  for about 5.7 miles.  Getting slower and slower

My fingers all  hurt  Right and left hand.

After taking Bun to the vet, which cost me 200 bucks, I went to Mary's place and got a pair of pajamas and some other stuff.  I had a good cry.  Tim was going through her stuff in the garage and Sher was going through  her stuff i the house and I packed up the dishes and stuff and her quilt.  I came home and ate some lunch.

Anita came early  as i text her  to  come for some wine and stuff and she did   We had a very  lively discussion  and Cristian brought so much food again.  What a man

Monday and the Rose Hills fiasco

 So I missed my 8 30 cardio class.  Oh  well, I had to clean the house.  And get stuff ready for  Rose Hills.

Bun is limping badly.  I made appt for her at Western Vet for tomorrow.  Poor kitty.  What did Angel do to her?  

Kurt had work and I made him a very good sandwich.  KR went surfing and then got bagels.

Mary left  us a week ago TODAY!!!  Really a  week already?  I realized I call her alot when things are ot  well  and I don't  feel too good with the vertigo.  Megha got my day canceled tomorrow.  

We went to Neighborhood Watch meeting at Hickory and saw a lot of neighbors.  

I cooked some breakfast steaks for KR.  Was a bit chewy but hey, it was cheap.

I also had my consult with the CPAP lady at 7  30  Almost 25 min of me asking questions.  If I don't use at least 4 hours a day, for   21 days out of 30, I have to  PAY FOR IT !!!!!

Sunday 4/13/2025

 KR went surfing early and I did laundry.  Kurt and I drove to church  and KR was late coming back but he had a good time.

We came home and Kurt says he and Corrina has  an appt, with whom he would not say.  He left  and I  had cooked some chicken legs and rice and broccoli.  I took some food over to Patty and Steve.  They had just  gotten back from Italy last night and thought they might need some food.

KR came home and ate lunch and then tried to nap.  I went for a ride.  The vertigo is so  bad.

MY SLEEP SCORE was 82.  AND I had a funny dream, due  to the CPAP and two hours of REM sleep.  WOW  I was somewhere that I needed a walker to walk around and then me and KR had to go to Bismarck to do something with Kurt's sports team, which I could not remember what kind of sport.  I did not remember the dream until KR said I slept long enough to dream and I remembered the dream.

Will called me and said that his car is giving him fits.  I guess he never did get the car to the mechanic and ran out of oil and he added three quarts and he is going to drive to Grandma's and Diamonnd is goinng to pick him up.  THE USUAL that Will ruins another car.  I am NOT going to buy him another car.

KR took Angel to the golf course 

Saturday

 We walked to the park

I went to Wilmington for the 5K race that was so so hard.  I was dizzy and gasping for air.

I wennt to Freda's for some bread

KR tried to go surfingn but was no good.  Did a lot of yard work, and we went to the FM and got a LOT of broccoli and lettuce.  I went to the Y  to sit in the jacuzzi.  Plus a shower

Sher and Tim were at Mary's.  Sad

KR read the instructions to the CPAP.  Should be good to go

Friday and what a bad VERTIGO DAY

 So I managed to get 8 hours of sleep, but still poor sleep score.  

AND the vertigo is bad.  I went to cardio dance, and then yoga.  Maybe it is the yoga that does it, the up and downn and up and down.  The rest of the day felt like crap.

I miss Mary Eileen

KR went over to Tim's and had Tim and Sher read the speech   he  wrote about ME.  Tim made some suggestions, like how KR met Mary.

KR went on a bike ride with Flip, and Flip managed to take a BAD tumble on the strand and KR had to get the life guards to come wrap him up and then he drove and picked up his and Filp's bike and they had lunch at Kalvera's.  Oh  my

I also wennt to Ralphs and bought a lot of food, plus Walmart for vitamins.

 Dr Sata is taking over every other Thursday  YIPPPEEEE  I am so glad I didn't have to go in.

My right fingers are starting to ache me also, just like the left.  SHEESH

KR went surfing and I stayed home and cleaned and went to mom's and cleaned.  I forgot a few things so had to go back and forth to resupply

We also went up to Fire Trail before KR's doctor appt to walk Angel.  KR had to see his ear doctor at the House Ear Clinic and he took my car.

He took a nap.  I cleaned the garage pretty  good.  Sorting through all the mason jars and giving away the last of the hedge trimmer.  I tried napping no go so I went for a ride and then to the 5 pm core class.  Have not been there for weeks and it was HARD WORK.

I cooked shrimp and rice for their dinner.  

Wednesday and a day of rest, kind of

 My computer is giving  me the  fits.  Too many  spaces on the space bar and the letter N is not coming up or too many n's at a time

We  were up  earky and I did not sleep well.  KR did of course.

He went  surfing and I went to mom's to cleann and  get soaps and stuff organized.  Lovely put a lot of stuff away in places that I would  not use  but it is at least just a place for all our guests.   I wonder if Alan would want to stay there when he is here over the summer

Sher and Tim are doing as well as to be expected.  Teresa Hom, or Te Ho is in the hospital.  Pain annd vaginal bleeding, maybe uterous.  Who knows.  I just didn't  have any energy to call her

I went to Lowe's and got Command hooks and then to  Aldi for some food.  Made pork al pastor and pizza for dinner.

Kurt worked all day and went straight up to Corrina

Guess I am running a 5K this Saturday

Tuesday and what a weird day

 I woke up thinking of Mary

Kurt went to work.

I stayed  home and Maribel and Andrea came to clean.  I called Delano prison and talked to Lt Houtie who  said that we cannot go see Sean.  I spoke with Tim and told him all this.  However, Sean tried to call me and I could not answer the phone nnot knowing what to say.  I finally answered after he tried calling three times and told him to call his Uncle Tim

Finnally Tim told him Mary had passed.  He took it ok.

I was so exhausted.  KR had Valor Meeting for three house.  I cooked bacon and chicklen on the BBQ and they had it for dinner with the yummy vegetables I cooked too.  Two potatoes and a bell pepper and a head of cauliflower and some onnions and spinach.

Oh Mary Mary.  My  dearest friend is gone.  12-10-1954 to 4-7-2025.  She is onnly 70

Monday Lovely goes back to Taiwan and Mary goes to HEAVEN

 Oh What a day

We were up and Lovely  was packing and shopping and packing.  Jesse wennt over to mom's because Lovely told her but I didn't know and he came over.  KR had take Angel for a walk up PV and came back and we all went to Seafood Town for a yummy lunch.

Jesse left and Lovely went out with Angel Go and I went to see Mary.  She iis not too responsive.  She had a bad bleed and did not want to go back to the hospital.  She said  just to let her go.  I think as  she  was able to talk to Sean she was ready.

Abby and Lovely finished the  mac and cheese  and  we loaded the car and left for the airport about 8.  After dropping them off, I went to Mary's but Sher did not answer the phone so I sat there a bit and went home.  I text Sher that I will have my phone on next to the bed as she said Mary's breathing was labored.

I didn't hear her text and I woke up about midnight and saw that she had text.  Mary left us at 11:16 pm

I got dressed and drove over there and prayed for her and Jim and Tim and Sher were there and we just hugged and cried.

OH MARY

My Mary is gone

After about an hour and half the hospice nurse came and then Jim and I left

Sunday 4/6/2025

 Abby went to Gardena Baptist church and we went to Branch.

Lovely started cleaning the condo adnd Mary text me annd urgently wanted to see me and KR.  I think he brain is being changed by all the meds.  The manicurist Jan came to do her nails and I went back to the condo.  I did all the plants outside and cleaned the patio. 

Lovely did her magic on  the condo  and  looks amazing.

Pam picked her up and she and Pam and Suz all went out.

Abby took a long nap.  I made mac and cheese and hard boiled eggs for her for dinner.  KR had taco salad

He also wrote Mary's obituary and went over there to talk to her about it.  She seems a bit out of it, KR says.

Saturday

 So I forgot to post yesterday

Lovely and Abby came back in the afternoon.  Kurt and Corrina and  all of us went to the Kaplan's for Sedar and it was amazing.  There were maybe 30 people there and  they  had  t ri  tip and brisket.
