The Accomplishments....
…of the day. I cheated and skipped the pool today. Yes, I did. But I got dustballs off art, I cleaned corners in the upstairs bathroom, I finished a book, I recreated the Excel spreadsheets fo...
Wonderful
It’s really rather exciting when life begins to return. I was able to call in a prescription in the morning. I even understood what I was doing. I talked with Bobbie and understood her too. W...
Orange
Slowly I replace the jpgs that were moved and saved before the latest computer collapse. Missing a granddaughter yesterday: brought granddaughter back today….that sort of thing. The only photo...
Lavendar
Verve
My colds usually hit harder than G’s, and often last six months or more. I smoked more and longer than he…dumb me. Now asthma, allergies, and continual bronchitis lead all colds to my lungs. ...
A Picture a Day
No matter what he does to it, my computer boot system is still not functioning. I’m better, but still wallowing in the cold. G has been waiting on me hand and foot. They don’t want me at work...
Ah, Balboa Park
Here the magic of his notes are echoing down the colonnades. I love going to Balboa Park. The core of the park buildings were constructed for the 1915 California Pacific Exposition in an ersatz...
Achooooo...
I must confess. I’ve got his cold. A shared cold isn’t exactly a better cold, and I am sinking while he is getting better. He reports this will be a seven day cold. I’ll let you know. Hims...
A Rose is a Rose
My apologies to you all. I hadn’t known that I was writing negatively. I hadn’t realized that I was sharing my tiredness and feelings of age with everyone here. I hadn’t even known that I was...
In Focus
The last PT for the shoulder yesterday. I’d given my last exercise list to G thinking it was a receipt. Now that I’ve found it again, perhaps it needs to be laminated. I’ll take it with me to...
One Donation, Two donations, Three.....
She read a lot, and she loved Christmas. All her caring friends knew about these wonderful habits of hers. They gave her books, and they gave her a little something every year for Christmas. S...
Such a Surprise
We were struggling with the start up on my computer, again, when the doorbell rang. I let G answer it as I thought it might be nothing important. Happy, joyous voices greeted my ears, and I st...
Great Progress
George deals well with cranky computers first thing in the morning. It took about two hours to get me up and running again, but he did it. I go to a lot of strange sites, he told me. (The sit...
Photos by Braille
No dropping the camera this time. Progress. I made a real effort to find something besides roses in the images I was shooting…ants, bees, or aphids for instance. Unfortunately, I didn’t find ...
Us Convention Goers
I’m feeling more like myself now that I am home and tucked into routine. George isn’t. He’s fighting himself by going on the Atkins diet once again. He’s been quiet, withdrawn, but dogged abo...
The First Rose
The first rose of the holiday. And it was a great vacation/staycation that had roses everywhere. Sunshine, friends, conversations, gatherings, and meetings. We had a flat out wonderful time. ...
Celebrating
George’s company will not be moving the business down the coast closer to our house. He will be able to continue working from home in his PJ’s…he does have some truly delightful robot PJ’s too....
Book Day - no foolin'
I’ve become a very bookish lady in my old age…if seventy three is old. When I was a kid, I had one bookcase in my room. When I came back from the Army, I had gramma’s old white bookcase then ...
Bits and Bobs
All of life is made up of bits and bobs of things. Ones plans fly out the window if one, that is me, doesn’t remember that Bobbie gets out of her pool at 0930. No pool for me today. G got M...
Centering
We puttered our way through The Ocean Beach Library’s big book sale Saturday morning. One of the ladies who volunteers at the Discovery Shop laughingly yelled at me that I didn’t need any more ...
Desktops
For years I had an image of a rusty old railroad engine boiler as my desktop. Green on the bottom, terra cotta in the middle, and blue grey on top. Simple. Quiet. I was able to work on top o...
Busy Bunnies
We are being very picky about our bunnies, our chicks, and our décor at the store this year. Somehow, last year’s bunnies won’t do for this year, and they’ve been donated to us by the acre. Th...
Busy Birthday
Rush, she forgot her glasses, wait, rush again….you have had mornings like this. Yesterday we did. Zoe’s birthday, and we met Zoe and her mom for breakfast at Perry’s Breakfast Café for our hi...
Home 2015
I confess, we are celebrating Zoe’s birthday today as well as making potatoe salad and chocolate chip brownies. Zoe’s Birthday is the most important thing, but an AA Guru will be speaking at ou...
Renewal
Now today I got up on the right side of the bed. It’s nice to start a day like that. Of course, I didn’t want to go to the pool, but I did. I’m practicing standing on one leg in the pool. A...
