Josh brought in Chinese food and watched the hockey game with me last night. The Sharks beat Phoenix 4-3 in an overtime shootout. It was good to get the two points, but it was troubling to give up three goals in the process. I am feeling a little better today. Also, the rain has stopped, at least for a while.

I just got back from having lunch with Julian, and Beech, and Annie. I spent a good part of yesterday and this morning in bed, but I am feeling a little better now. I woke up last night in time to watch Charlie Rose. I should be well enough to watch the Sharks game tonight.

I am late sending this message today because I have not been well. I have been napping, so I am gradually improving. I received a grocery delivery from Safeway. Yesterday I watched the hockey game. Josh had to work late, so he could not join me. The Sharks beat last year’s Stanley cup winners, the Boston Bruins 2-1. I hope tomorrow will be a better day.

Yesterday I took a shower and went to PAMF to h have my catheter changed. In the evening I watched disk one of the Netflix DVD “Any Human Heart.” After I started watching it I realized I had seen it before years ago when it aired on PBS Masterpiece Theater, but I had forgotten most of it, so I enjoyed watching it again. If it were a movie I would give it three stars. I feel good today.

Yesterday Josh brought in Mexican food and watched the hockey game with me. The Sharks gave up five goals to the LA Kings, which included an empty netter at the end. The Sharks lost 2-5 and so have fallen out of the playoff standings, at least for the time being. However, they still have nine games to play before their season is over, including two more against the LA Kings, so they still have a mathematical chance. Josh and I are pretty discouraged though. I feel good today health-wise.

It has been a while since I took my blood pressure, so I just did and the numbers are 132/82 with a heart rate of 58, which are relatively good numbers. Yesterday Joshua brought in pizza and watched the hockey game with me. The Sharks scored the first two goals, but then lost to Anaheim 3-5, so it was a disappointing game for us. We also switched to the Warriors game from time to time to watch the Chris Mullin retirement ceremony. The Warriors ended up losing that game too at the very end, as often happens. I read some more on my Kindle too. I also watched a good interview with Isabella Allende too on PBS, before Charlie Rose.

Yesterday I finished reading Science and also The Economist. Then I read more on my Kindle. Because there are nothing but fundraisers on PBS I watched disk one of “The Way We Live Now.” It is a BBC dramatization of the Trollope novel, which has two disks. I find it quite good, even if it is tiresome to watch more of the British struggles with manners and how girls get married. I feel good today.
