If the pandemic had not hit, I would have had my routine appointment with Francis, my Pain Physical Therapist, on April 24. But, in the throes of the pandemic, that day came and passed and I thought about emailing Francis and asking him…well, I didn’t know exactly what I would ask in an email. So…

F&F Fast
Saturday, June 6, 2020: I did not sleep well last night. It was just like that night last week when I failed to take my PM pills. And, when I did sleep, I had troubling dreams. In my dream, Linda was rearranging everything in the bedroom without asking me. Lisa was in the dream, busy…
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 Video Follow-up
Wednesday, May 27, 10:30 a.m. Sophie Tu We had a follow-up video appointment 9 days later. For whatever unknown reason, I wasn’t able to activate my microphone this time.

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 6
Sunday, April 19: Linda is feeling better today but still has only one egg. Emily has gained from 6.6 lb. to 7.2 lb.! I think this quarantine is hitting Emily harder than anyone else! I’m not feeding her more, but she isn’t getting her weekly long walk through South Shore and I know she misses…
COVID-19 Week 5
Sunday, April 12: Easter Sunday. Did not feel any different from any other Sunday, or any other day, for that matter. I did not watch, did not want to watch, any streaming Easter services. Did not feel like being productive, but I did do some work on Arlene’s articles. Friday, April 17: I’ve had a…
