WELL, WELL!
The Physical Therapist arrived, and only startled me a little. I thought the pleasant OT was scheduled. Nope. She’s finished…what a shame. I did everything G want’s…sit, stand, walk, sh...
Officially
We almost always go to the “meeting by the bay.” Zoom is such an easy way to attend meetings. I would go to meetings via ZOOM all the time if my fellow drunks wouldn’t look down their noses a...
GREENERY

MY FRIEND DIXIE
I met Dixie Anna at 14 and I was fifteen. Dixie was of great value to me as was her brother. Oh, teen agers. We three went to an alternate High School where we were not the brightest of s...
WIRING: THE HOUSE’S AND MINE
George has been struggling for weeks to get the TV cable running again. Not. We had dead air, screeches, scattered and broken images, ‘we are starting, we are booting, we are welcoming you, we...
day one: a landing
Not bad at all. The MD Anderson Cancer Center has gentle and kind well in hand. The pictures on the link below make it all look much better than it is too. If you arrive at noon, all is chaos…....
SMILE
Our TV has worked on and off for the last three weeks. Yes, I caught some of the first day of the hearings, but mostly the cable box isn’t working. We have internet. This is good. Littl...

LOST MY BLOGGER BLOG
Yesterday, as I was leaving, I noticed that Blogger put up a notice, probably on all blogs. It let all bloggers know that they were going to notify European users about cookies. After I c...
VETERANS DAY
There’s lots of fuss everywhere this year. Perhaps more than usual. I’m doing the laundry, and G is working. Such normal sort of stuff when many of us are celebrating holidays. CBS gave...
FALL
Fall is finally approaching Southern California. I have the heavy quilt on the bed, and even some leaves are changing colors at last. Most days I do a doctor thing, yesterday was that CT ...
NOVEMBER ORTS
• That little cottage once on the corner of Narragansett and Sunset Cliffs is gone now. They bulldozed down the cottage, the trees, and the ambience of old OB, and replaced it with 1990...
HURRY, HURRY
“I understand you are in a hurry,” said the doctor. “Only because the cancer is,” I replied. The surgeon finally released me to the Pulmonary man. Hurrah. Before going into that office to...
MORE 1
Jerry sent all these photos with the label More 1, More 2…etc. Here we all are, almost fifty years later, posing in front of number 20 Second Avenue. Mother and her brother, Uncle Charli...
PHOTOS
My cousin Jerry sent me a wonderful accumulation of family photographs. Yes, I had many of them, but I had this entertaining one she didn’t send. Here’s a grandfather I never knew and my...
A SAUNTER

ALIVE, ALIVE-O
This is the last free week before chemo. As far as I know. I’m planning to go with G to the park to see the new show at the museum then go to the Zoo. They used to have a low cost member...
BREATH WILL COME
Each time I wake up from another test, I feel as if I am going to live forever. I know there are more long train trips ahead, there are paintings to be hung, and there are quilts just wait...
CHARMED

OUT
I’m trying to poke G to get out and about today. I’m stirring the pot, jiggling the bowl, and moving the masses around. He’s playing one of those games. I’m not. “Why do you always lea...
A WAR ZONE
It was quiet until a minute ago. Now there is a heavy duty cop-chopper circling, and sirens ring from every side. G says he’s not at all curious what’s happening one block down the street. ...
