MMessage 1429

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.

Message 1424

Yesterday I had lunch with Julian, Beech, and Annie at the Oasis. It is the first time I have been to the Oasis in many years. In the evening Joshua came over with burgers and fries and watched the hockey game with me. The Sharks beat Detroit in overtime. It was another hard-fought game. I feel good today.

Message 1423

Yesterday I drove my car for the first time in over two weeks. I had to go to the local shopping center to pick up my laundry, get some cash from Wells Fargo, and pick up a refill for my Prozac prescription. I managed it just fine, but I am glad I don’t have to do it often. After the Friday PBS shows were over last night I read some more on my Kindle, then, after the local news, I watched Charlie Rose and turned in. I feel good today.
