I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND
This week has moved right along at last. Monday the surgeon. Tuesday nothing. Wednesday the new heart doctor who we loved. Thursday the surgeon again, and Friday two tests ordered by th...
MRI
That was me. My head was in a little cage, but my socks were a darker blue. I did laundry yesterday, and I will do more today. Life consists of laundry days and Doctor’s appointment days. T...
VOLUNTEER PICNIC
Newly donated Vietnam era Jeep on display at the volunteer picnic. Neither G nor I had the energy to fix food for the picnic, so we bought a carrot cake at Vons. Everybody likes carrot c...
HOT, HOT, HOT
I can’t believe it is August. In the 1950’s, July at Mrs. Duffy’s Ranch Camp for Girls was hot. In August it was unbearably hot. Here at the beach, it is just warm. My family are in the 80’s...
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
“Your estimated wait time is less than three minutes.” I call for the last appointments this morning. Some negative note is attached to one, but I still get the MRI scheduled. The other heart ...
SQUEEZING ME IN
Mother and Gunny on their wedding day, Balboa Park, 1939. I now have a surgeon. I often wonder how mother felt about her cancer, her surgeon, and the decisions they made in 1948. She had s...
LIKE
…with her mouth open. The actual test itself wasn’t too bad for me. The machine worked this time. We got there at 0730, and I got out of the recovery room around three PM. Most everyon...
A NEW DRAGON
Zoe picking a new dragon. Granddaughter Zoe saved all year to buy a bigger dragon. The little one she bought last year was $39.99. These dragons run to almost three grand for the really bi...
UNDER THE FLIGHT PATH
The old FORD Building now the Aerospace Museum under the flight path. Outside all is grey. I know this familiar night and morning coastal fog will burn off soon, so I am truly enjoying t...
AGAIN
This is my favorite shot of me, selfishly, from Comic Con this year. My tooth is missing. My sense of humor is doing pretty well, and both granddaughter and me are reading in the break before ...

IT’S ALL ABOUT LOVE
My daughter Milaka calls sounding just like daughter Margot. Margot calls sounding just like Laka. My brain seems to be left behind in confusions these days. I listen until I can figure out ...
BAM, CRUNCH, SMASH
The Society for Creative Anachronisms creating a delightful chaos. Late yesterday afternoon, the hospital called and with insurance approval. I will get my Interventional CT Guided Needle Bio...
DAY FOUR AND WAITING
Life is not boring if you go to Comic Con. About me…I’m still waiting for the specialist to call. After showering, saving more photographs, and washing the sheets, I will call my Pulmono...
DAY 3 AND A NEW FRONT TOOTH
Mage, without her front tooth, and Zoe at the NASA panel. We are both reading. Thursday afternoon, I didn’t just manage to break off one front tooth, I managed to break off two front teet...
COMIC CON DAY 2: FINDINGS
Look at that leather cut work. Yesterday I took both my broken plates to the dentist. One tooth was missing. Only one plate will be fixed until I find the lost tooth. Today I went to t...

COSTUMES FOUR: 2014
These are the almost last of the 2014 costumes. Most of these were cropped and Photoshopped in 2014. I have hopes that I’ve grown better at it since then. On the personal front, I spent...
PAPER ONE
Selling large to small items. We are off to a Padre’s game. George won them in a raffle. I’m taking a book. No calls from anyone medical yet, but I’m getting tons of advice from one and a...
COSTUMES THREE
2013: The Queen. I couldn’t find her anywhere last year. Bobbie tells me that she is really glad that she doesn’t know what is happening today. Me? I’m really glad to stay in the day....
COSTUMES 2 AND MORE
Steampunk. Here is a slightly different collection of costumes mixed in with a soupcon of bad news. The results of that last test are in, and the spots in my left lung are cancerous. No...
COSTUMES
The A family. Costumes. I wish that G would try on his blue boiler suit. He thinks it will fit, and I have firm doubts. I’m still collecting the last pieces of my costume together. A sma...
THE REPAIR MAN COMETH
Three days ago, our internet died. No computer, no cable so no TV…and we are left to our own devices. Very 1950ish here. George still has all his computer games, and I have all my books…...
