Tuesday, October 5, 2021 Alameda Farmers’ Market Ron (the egg guy) told me that their main supplier, a family poultry farm for generations (Great Valley), is going out of business at the end of October. But he said he has found another farm with pasture-raised poultry where he can get the eggs. Pain Group Online…

Spa Day for the Girls
September 28, 2021 We began our Alameda day with a visit to the nail salon. Our toenails were in desperate need of cutting, and we needed the self-care of the leg massages that accompany a pedicure. In spite of the more than double cost of a pedicure since the pandemic, it felt worth it. The…
Emotional Detox
Thursday, September 16, 2021, 10:00 a.m. We had waited for five long weeks for Linda’s first consultation appointment at Stanford in Redwood City. Her orthopedist, Dr. Martin, whom her primary physician had referred her to, had referred Linda to Dr. Goodman at Stanford. Linda is good at following GPS instructions, and we found a good handicap…
Retrain Pain
Today is our 8th wedding anniversary (legal wedding in 2013). It was also our Tuesday food shopping day, including Alameda Farmers’ Market, then Trader Joe’s and Safeway. It was hard to wake up (between 6:00 and 7:30 a.m.), but otherwise was a fairly routine day. Online Pain Group at 4 p.m. was with just Francis,…
More QiGong
I was so sleepy today! We all had such a hard time waking up this morning and didn’t get to the Alameda Farmers’ Market until about a quarter after nine. There were no more yellow crime scene tapes around the vendor kiosks. Ron (and everyone else) did not have masks. I didn’t even think about…
Pain Group Online Again
We began this day with coffee in the car, headed to Alameda at 10:30 a.m. This was to be our first nail salon appointment in many months! We drove around a lot before we could find a suitable parking place. I put Emily in the black soft carrier and left one opening a little unzipped…
Acupuncture with Sophie #8
Tuesday, May 18, 2021 Linda has been very sick after her second COVID vaccine shot on Sunday. However, she seemed to feel better this morning, well enough to get up and make coffee then drive to Alameda. So we got eggs at the Farmers’ Market and then went to Trader Joe’s and Safeway. When we…
Group Acupuncture Again!
Tuesday, March 9, 2021, 1:50 p.m. It’s been more than a whole year since the last time I was in group acupuncture! So I knew there would be protocols, possibly having only 8 chairs in the room instead of the usual 16 chairs.
Acupuncture Session #6 with Sophie
I’m starting this post on Thursday, January 7. I responded to a phone call from the Kaiser Acupuncture Department, telling me to call for an appointment if I still wanted one. So I called today.
