Went in to get tested, it was pretty easy actually. I signed up on-line a week before when the girl who works at Trader Joe's didn't back down from visiting and staying with me. What I didn't expect is that other family txt'ing me saying they're all positive! Doing the math, out of possibly 10 … Continue reading And now, I wait

Bonding w/ my brother
Over guns...How crazy is that? My background check cleared, took another field trip out to the Pro Bass Shop in Manteca to pick it up. If it weren't for their free car charger, I never would have made it back (with air conditioning). My hopes were for my brother & I to bond over sailing, … Continue reading Bonding w/ my brother
Day 30: 30 down, 15 more to go
Or so we hope.... Every day I write a list of what to do that day, just dumb things like, "practice piano" or "wash hair." Today is actually venturing out to the unknown, San Leandro for a car tune up for the warranty. I got this car in December, it's a Kona electric with almost … Continue reading Day 30: 30 down, 15 more to go
Day 20: Master Class subscription
Tired of writing about something that has taken over the whole worlds psych and is all anyone is even talking about, including me. These Master Class ads kept popping up on my FB page, a few days ago I watched a live Bobbi Brown, mostly out of filling up the day, the hour speed by … Continue reading Day 20: Master Class subscription
Day 8: Zoom meetings
If this has taught me anything it's that as unsocial as I can be at times, the internet isn't a good replacement for human interaction. I got our piano group set up on Zoom, just to see if it was a viable replacement for our cancelled meeting. Besides the video freezing up, the sound worked … Continue reading Day 8: Zoom meetings
Day 5: Our lives are changed for awhile
Before 9/11, my mom had retired then worked 2 jobs. She was still substitute teaching, then she got a job with American Airlines again in the unaccompanied minors section. She had been a stewardess in the late 50's, early 60's and had to quit when she got married. When she retired from teaching, they hired … Continue reading Day 5: Our lives are changed for awhile
Jealousy
Or success envy mostly. We saw "Where did you go Bernadette?" yesterday, girls day out with my DIL. Weird watching that movie with one of us on the Bernadette side of things and the other one just starting out life with my son. It's the modern day twist of "Shirley Valentine" of what women go … Continue reading Jealousy
Writing practice
This in itself is practice... Cruising through one of the surviving Barnes & Noble stores the other day I found this sale book called, "Coffee Break Writing" by John Gillard. There's hardly a time I buy a hard copy book anymore, when Kindle came out I was one of the first converts. Everyone labeled me … Continue reading Writing practice
Pacing myself
This has been the summer of the kitchen so far, my work day starts up again after I write this. Instead of writing this un-read blog, I did submit a few articles to AOPA magazine and Latitude 38 for sailing. Of course, haven't heard back from either. It takes awhile, they get a lot of … Continue reading Pacing myself
Re-group
This past week has just been getting used to being home again, I feel like I've been gone all 2019. That's not a bad thing, it's just my life here consists of doing laundry and packing. With the kids finally launched, next on the menu is new floors. That is my mission for the day, … Continue reading Re-group
