November 6, 2018 Linda and I spent an hour after supper last night discussing candidates (easy) and issues (harder) and filled out sample ballots to take with us to the polls tomorrow. Feels like studying for a major exam but we can take our class notes in with us! At least we know we will…

Individual Acupuncture Therapy #7
Monday, November 5, 2018, 2:10 p.m. I so needed this today. So much stress, peaking with the Daylight Saving Time change yesterday. And with finally going online to Harborside and not finding any suitable tinctures that are affordable. To top it off, at 2:30 a.m. I had what was my fifth migraine since last November….
Gifted
October 19, 2018 I had been whining on my Facebook Timeline that “my Fitbit has bit the dust.” Then I explained, “Oh, it still works (I think). It’s just gotten to the point where it requires a new battery every few weeks! All I really need is a decent pedometer, just one that shows steps…
Hearing Test
Thursday, October 18, 2018, 11:10 a.m. Today I had the scheduled hearing test. We got stuck in a traffic jam due to road construction, and were afraid we were going to be late. But we got there with just one minute to spare. The same friendly Filipina woman who had scheduled my appointment now checked…
Pain Physical Therapy #7
October 15, 2018, 3:00 p.m. I’m having a great deal of trepidation about today’s physical therapy appointment. My eyes are teary, and I hope to God I can hold it together when I’m actually in the treatment room with Francis. It will take a great deal of restraint on my part to not dump on…
NewWest Summit 4.0
Oakland Marriott Convention Center Linda and I planned our “family day” outing to attend a rather nebulous event based on “the future of cannabis.” We had no way of knowing that there was a strike going on at the Oakland Marriott Convention Center! We drove around and around and were almost ready to just call…
First 24-hr Fast
I’ve spent this week in various forms of fasting, that is, mostly 24-hr. fasts, never going more than 28 hours without food. On that day, I posted: I did have allowed beverages, including fat and cream in my coffee, and half-and-half with which to take my pills. I lost from 131 to 125 but gained…
Individual Acupuncture Therapy #6
October 4, 2018, 1:50 p.m. Acupuncture day. I so need this today! Acupuncture, combined with meditation and mindful breathing, is the height of relaxation and stress relief! When the assistant called for me, I followed her down the hall to Paul Simon’s acupuncture treatment room. She logged in at the workstation, as she usually did,…
Fall Board Meeting
Saturday, September 29, 2018 It was nearly a year ago, during last year’s Kinship Fall Board Meeting in Alameda, though it was a different month, a different date. Then it was the third weekend in October, Saturday afternoon, in the middle of a board meeting session, when I got an email from my childhood BFF….
Pain Physical Therapy #6
September 17, 2018 Unfortunately, I was unable to keep up with the momentum I had established after my last physical therapy session, when Francis, at my request, mandated that I walk a minimum of 3 times a week. We had a wonderful time walking at Pacifica Pier on August 11 and my enthusiasm lasted about…
