New beginnings.


Dad and I went to Uncle Joe and Auntie Isabel's.  Then we all went to lunch at Zorn's Restaurant in Pleasanton.  Lots of fun today.  Luigi is feeling much better and his test results all came back good.  We may be able to get his teeth cleaned for $147.50.  I'll follow up on it tomorrow.

Auntie Dorothy's house has sold.  I drove by there.  It sure makes me a little sad.  I guess that's natural.  It pulls on my sad strings.  I want to be positive and be happy and believe she is in heaven.  I feel a sense of loss and longing.  Kinda selfish.  I miss her.  This is just life.  Life goes on.  Sometimes it hurts.  Sometimes we wallow.  Guess I'll wallow for a little while.  Maybe it's good to feel a little pain sometimes.  Maybe it makes you feel human.  But, I prefer feeling happy.  Happy Days Auntie Dorothy!  I Love You!

Good news.  Turns out the jacuzzi - someone had just pushed the Emergency Red Stop Button.  It's back up and running.  Now, I'm too lazy to go over there.  haha  Maybe tomorrow.  I don't like my new swim suit that I ordered online.  It has a hook right in the middle of my back where I cannot reach.  Called Ross Stores tonight.  They said they have women's swimsuits in.  Think I'll run over to the Castro Valley store tomorrow and see if I can pick up a new bathing suit.

Bill and Sadie are here.  Luigi is playing hard with Sadie and having a ball.  Sounds so good to hear Luigi healthy again.

Took Luigi to the Veterinarians today.  Not happy.  It may just be infected anal glands, but it cost $200 today and they are talking about coming back once a week for 6 to 8 weeks to express the glands and have injections.  Also, talking again, trying to have Luigi's teeth cleaned.  I feel I am being gouged.  They even sent a bottle home with me to get his urine sample.  Please!  They are going to call tomorrow with the results for the blood and fecal.  I seriously am ready to find another vet.

Otherwise, had a really nice day.  Lots of running around and getting things done and enjoying myself.   Although, tonight the jacuzzi is not working again.  Sigh...

You're someone worth believing in.

Dad and I visited Rose Lopes today.  She celebrated her 92nd birthday March 16th.  She fell recently and hurt her leg and hip and now has a real problem with sitting, standing, walking, etc.  Hopefully, time and physical therapy can help.

Then we stopped by Rite-Aid for Duggans for dad; the Dollar store for cookies; and Subway - we picked up Meatball Footlongs and brought them home for lunch.

We had Luigi with us and one block from where Rose is, drove by Sargent Avenue trying to find Diane Buchanan's house.  It's been so long since we've been there.  After we got home, I went on the computer and found the address.

Luigi began doing so much better today, but tonight, he is really drooping again.  Hmmmmmmm.

Go for it!

Dad and I are meeting Uncle Joe and Auntie Isabel in Castro Valley for lunch at Wendy's.  Lately, Auntie Isabel seems to be not doing as well.  I think it is a lot of little things.  Aging sucks!

Sure hope Luigi is going to be okay.  He has had a tough couple of days.  He yelps when he gets up or down the furniture.  He yelps when I try to give him a hug.  He doesn't want to play with his ball - which he wants normally 24 hours a day.  He just is very clingy, and wants to stay right next to dad or I.  Part of the time he walks with his tail down, between his legs, and occasionally he has a nice happy, up and wagging tail.  We are just keeping an eye on him so far.  He goes back and forth between better and worse. 

This last week, I have been going to the jacuzzi every day.  Pure heaven.

This is your year!

Dad and I are going to the movies this morning and see "21 Jump Street".  It's a comedy with Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum.  Good movie.

You're someone special.

Today is the Cousins Family Lunch.  Al and Lyn are headed for Hawaii, so they won't be able to make it.   Lisa, Kenny, Debbie, Deaunn, Kim, Annie, Dad and I.   We are meeting at Fuddruckers in Pleasanton.  Had a really fun day.   Annie too 401 pictures on my digital camera.  Should be fun  getting through all of them!  lol! 

Came home and jumped into the jacuzzi.  Ordered a new bathing suit on eBay. 

Determination is powerful.

Nice rainy week.  Dad went to exercise class and they had a birthday party for his exercise teacher, Sue.  I ran all over town and got lots of errands accomplished.  Very good day.
