Yesterday I drove to San Mateo to have Easter brunch. Vanessa’s brother was there with his two kids (his wife was home sick) and Maureen was there with Gary. I was able to pass on a three months supply of The Economist to Maureen. The kids had a great time hunting Easter eggs and Julian and Vanessa had prepared great food. It was the first time I had driven that far, but the traffic was light and I had no trouble. In the late afternoon Jason picked me up and drove me to Umbach’s for Easter dinner, so I ate out twice in one day. Jason and his family gave me a ride home in time to watch the new episode of Upstairs Downstairs. I feel good again today.

Yesterday afternoon Jason picked me up and drove me to Los Gatos.for dinner. Marty and Kathleen and Ryan were in town and were there too along with Jamie and Chelsea and the twins. Joshua showed up too. After dinner we watched the Sharks lose to LA. They gave up three quick goals in the first period and lost the game 1-3. They now lead the series 3-2 and play Monday night in LA. I feel good today.

I just got back from meeting Helen and Jim at Starbucks. It is the first time I have been up to meeting them there since I went into the hospital. It is good to be back in my old routine again. I don’t drink coffee anymore, so I had a hot chocolate. For some reason The Economist came on Thursday this week instead of Friday, so I finished reading it last night after the Friday PBS shows were over.

Yesterday Guy Plumbing came over and checked out the leak under my kitchen sink. He is back this morning with a new faucet to fix the problem. I hope it works OK. Last night Joshua came over to watch the Sharks game with me. He was late coming because my cable system was not working until just before the game started, and I thought I was going to have to listen to the game on the radio. Anyway, it was a great game that the Sharks won 6-3. They now lead the series 3-1. If they beat LA again on Saturday night at home in San Jose, they will move on to the next round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. I am feeling good today.

I just got back from Sharon Heights where I went to the bank and did my week’s Safeway shopping. I threw up a little bit when I got back, but my stomach was mostly empty, so I was able to contain it. Last night Josh brought in Boston Market food for us and watched the Sharks 3rd playoff game against LA. We were pretty discouraged when they fell behind 0-4, but we were thrilled when they came back and won the game in overtime 6-5 when Setoguchi scored. They now lead the series 2-1 and will play the fourth game in LA tomorrow night. In spite of throwing up, I feel pretty good today.

Last night I watched PBS shows. This morning I called Guy Plumbing to come out and fix the leak under my kitchen sink. They said they will come between 2 and 5 this afternoon. I had a good sleep this morning and I feel pretty good today. I have had no more trouble with throwing up.
