My mouth was numb pretty much for the rest of the day on Monday after having that filling. I was very hungry but I waited an hour or so before eating, and I deliberately tried to chew mostly on the other side of my mouth. I spent a little time working on Arlene Taylor’s web…

City and County Curfews
Tuesday, June 2, 2020: Because of all the rioting and looting taking place everywhere, including Oakland north of us (and who knows in all the other directions?), the City of San Leandro issued a curfew last night from 6:00 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. The Walgreen’s a mile east of us was trashed and looted and…
Acupressure by Video Appointment
Yes, COVID-19 is still going on and will likely continue indefinitely. But certain essential pieces of our lives must go on. The 30-day Richard Osborn Challenge Starting on May 2, we launched The 30-day Richard Osborn Challenge for Adventist Vegetarian Diabetics. My personal goal was to walk every single day a minimum of 30 minutes…
COVID-19, Week 9
Sunday, May 10: Mother’s Day. I was hungry for Kentucky Fried Chicken, but that’s not going to happen for a while. Linda didn’t feel up to riding her scooter today, so Emily and I went by ourselves in the trike. Yow! My legs were so sore from yesterday’s almost-5-miles ride. I barely made it around…

COVID-19 Week 5

COVID-19 Week 4
Sunday, April 5: Palm Sunday. I woke this morning to the continuing sound of the rain. I know there’s a lot of church services streaming, but I just don’t want ANY noise first thing in the morning! Now I remember one thing I forgot to mention in Week 3. Last Friday at 6 p.m. a…
COVID-19 Week 3
Sunday, March 29: When my front doorbell rang at 11-ish this morning, I thought it was an Amazon delivery—but there stood Daughter #1 with a paper grocery bag in her hand. I had to step over Emily’s poop that I hadn’t picked up. And I went to the bedroom to get Emily to come out…
