Let the construction began…

Monday was another great day. I got up and they were tearing down the rails on my ramp and part of my patio, they are definitely going to pour the concrete this week. We all decided to go out to breakfast, it's so nice to have everybody around. We had to wait but it was a great breakfast. I had an egg, bacon and avocado burrito that it was so big I could only eat half… But of course I ate all of the hash browns. We came back and I decided to take Robby for cruise through the lagoon, to the lighthouse and to the end of the wharf and back. It kept going from hot to cold, the sun came out every once in a while but it was really muggy. Rosa came to put me to bed and we all decided to play cribbage, it was my uncle and aunt, David and Grant that my mom and I. Grant had never played before but he caught on really quick and I think they even won a couple of games, he was my aunt's partner.






Tuesday was another great day. I got up in time to say goodbye to my nephew David and his friend Grant, there was such a nice visit with them. They started setting up the frame to pour the concrete, it's really getting exciting. I took Robby for a cruise through the lagoon and to the end of the wharf and back, it was already getting hot. We rested for a bit and then went with Tom and Kelly down to the tie-dye shop, a brighter world, to get some more of my shirts that Jeremy dyed, I just let him do whatever he wants and they all look great. I think I'll take some pictures of them to put on my blog. Kelly went with me down to tonic to make an appointment to get my hair dyed and cut, it has been way too long and I can see lots of grey. The lady that did it the last time, Heidi, wasn't there anymore so I'm going to try Kay. We came home and rested again and Rosa came to put me to bed.

Wednesday I stayed in bed. I knew it would be the last day I would be able to stay in bed and relax for a while. I just slept on and off all day and at night Lee and Claudia, my uncle and Kellly and my mom and I played cards, my aunt was unable to play so Kelly filled in.

Thursday was a great day. Teresa and I went to San Francisco and cruise around and bought some cowgirl cheese and some salami. We had Ramen soup for lunch and checked out the farmers market then went to the succulent farm and saw a bunch of great ideas, I think I might have these guys redo my front yard. My cousins are going to design it for me but I need to find somebody to actually do the work and these guys seem to do a great job. I think I might have to wait a while because my computer crashed and I had to buy a new one but at least I will have the design. We had dinner at a place called show dogs that Teresa saw on diners, drive-ins and dives, the food was awesome. We came home and Teresa put me to bed, everything was perfect today.
















Friday was another great day. I got my haircut and dyed and the lady did a great job. I took Robby for a cruise and Tom texted me and said that my brother and my nephew were here from Georgia. We visited for a while, it was so nice to see both of them. My brother Stanley and my nephew David came from Modesto to spend the night.

Saturday was yet another great day. I got up early and standing me breakfast, eggs and bacon. My computer crashed Wednesday evening so we decided to drive to Los Gatos to the Apple store and get a new one. We took it to get repaired and apparently you're supposed to take it in every four months to get the dust blown out of it, mine is about five years old and I have never done that, The cost of the repair would be a little less than buying a new one. I got a really nice one that runs faster than the screen is bigger so I am happy. We all went over to my aunts for dinner and had hamburgers, stuffed pasta shells, a killer salad that Kelly me and fruit. My brother Stanley and David decided to drive home because they both have appointments on Sunday but it was great to see them again.













Sunday was another great day. I got up early again and Tom, Kelly, David, JohnPatrick, Seth and I went to Zachary's for breakfast. we ended up waiting about an hour so Seth went home because he had an appointment. We had a killer breakfast and a great visit and then walked back home. Kelly made a corn beef brisket so we have that for dinner plus mashed potatoes and gravy and corn on the cob.

Looking forward to Labor Day weekend…

Monday was a pretty good day. I got to talk to Otis for a little bit, I keep missing him on Mondays. He is so fun to talk to I always feel like I'm taking up too much of his time. I took Robby and Google glass for a cruise through the lagoon, down West Cliff and back, down to the end of the wharf and back and down to the end of the boardwalk and back. They were safety testing the new ride at the Boardwalk, Undertow, so I took some pictures and a couple of videos and I think people will love it. It was getting warm so we came on home. Rosa came by and put me to bed.









Tuesday I had an appointment to get my kidneys ultrasound, she said that everything looked all right. Before my appointment I took Robby for a really long cruise and of course there were dolphins playing right on the shore at the Boardwalk and I tend to have Michael glass, that always happens. Maybe I should just start wearing them all the time because you never know?

Wednesday I wasn't feeling good at all. I have been bloated a lot, more than usual, and I think we finally figured out why. I haven't been taking my evening pills and those are the ones that keep me regular. We did some personal care and then I got to take a nice long hot bath, about fixes everything. I just went back to bed and relax for the rest of the day. Lee and Claudia, my uncle and aunt and my mom and I played cribbage… My mom was my partner and I lost five dollars. It's a good thing we had so much fun?

Thursday was another disappointing day. I'm glad I found out why I'm having stomach problems but it still sucks. Of course I was having problems again this morning so I decided to stay in bed, this is getting really old and Robby keeps giving me dirty looks… Or maybe it's just my imagination? About 10 minutes after Karen left Robby hit my bedroom door with his butt and close the door. I thought about calling somebody to have them open it but I kept getting distracted. Teresa came and brought some tacos from Taco Bell, they are so bad for you but I love them. That's about it.

Friday was a great day because I got to get up. I almost didn't get up because I'm having problems again/still with bloating, I am so tired of this. I got a nice long massage and got dressed and got up in time to take Robby for a cruise before the last concert on the beach. I started to go down through the lagoon but I could see a dog down the street off leash so I decided to turn around and go the other way. We cruised through Depot Park, to the end of the wharf and back and to the end of the boardwalk and back. I didn't expect to make it that long because I thought it was going to be really hot, it was supposed to be 79°. I don't know how hot it got but I know I didn't get that hot. I came back and rested for a while and had a bacon, tomato and avocado wrap before Tom, Kelly and I went to see Papa doo run run at the concert on the beach, the very last one. I almost decided not to go because I thought I was going to be really hot but I'm glad I went, we all enjoyed the concert very much. We came back home and Teresa put me to bed. Last week at the concert Tom and I saw the crazy hat guy but the battery on Tom's phone was dead so he could take a picture, this week Kelly got to take a picture of him. I'm so excited because I have an artichoke growing in my yard, it's so big and beautiful.


 Saturday was such a great day. For the first time in over a week I felt great. I got up and took Robby for cruise through the lagoon and up to Bay St., Park where I ran into Lee and Virginia on their way to have lunch. I decided to text Kelly to see where she was and what she was doing and she was having coffee at the picnic basket by the wharf, we decided to meet back home and make a plan for the day. It was so beautiful outside we just sat in the driveway and talked for a while and then decided to get something to eat. Heather made some corn and crab chowder so he did that along with some chicken with olives that she made and some kale, there was a great lunch. I took Robby for another cruise and when I came back home and Kelly had some friends visiting so we sat on the back porch and visited for a while. Rosa came up for me to bed and we did some personal care and I got to take a nice long hot bath, that felt so good.

Sunday was a perfect day. Teresa came by to get me that up and brought me a sausage, egg and cheese croissant sandwich and some hash browns. I can't believe I hate that so soon after having stomach problems but I did and it was really good. I got up and took Robby for a really long cruise through the lagoon at around the circle church. The circle church is a bunch of neighborhoods that no matter where you go you always end up turned around back at the church. I love going up there and taking pictures of peoples yards with my Google class, I found some really cool yards today. I came back home and rested for a while and my nephew David and his friend Grant were here visiting from Oregon, Grant is from Modesto. They checked out the Google class and then we visited for a while and had a really great barbecue, hamburgers and hotdogs but they were really good. My mom had some baked beans and Kelly made a melon, Apple and jicama salad. I thought about taking Robby for another cruise but it was just too darn hot, it got to be 80° here today. Rosa came and put me to bed that I just relaxed for the rest of the evening enjoying the memories of the day.
