Yesa re Nopa (sorry)

 

The Ferry Building has so many good restaurants these days and yesterday I met my old friend Karen for delicious fish chowder and chatter at Nopa Fish Restaurant which Amy had recommended. Oh, yum. Karen lives in NYC and is happy to be back in her old stomping ground and we will see more of each other in the next week or so. I am still in recovery so a quick trip for lunch and conversation was about all I could handle. But still, great progress. 

a technical Tuesday

 I bought a new refurbished Mini #13 iPhone from Amazon (I know, sorry) because my old #8 would not accept some apps I need in my everyday life. Luis the Mac computer guy and I spent a sometimes tense few hours transferring everything over to the new phone yesterday. Everything works. Success. Exhausting. We both worried that Consumer Cellular would be difficult, but they weren't. Yay!

one year ago

 Such great memories. Here we were on the Danube leaving Budapest. And now, oh happy news, the tremendously resilient citizens of Hungary have ousted the horrid dictator Orban. I just love watching all the celebrations and of course it is a smack in the face to our own would-be tyrant Trump. We who love democracy are feeling such hope currently.

the return of the blogger

 That is my neighbor Cristina in the top photo ~ she works on the ferry boats and this was her response yesterday when I reported that I am really on the mend. Dancing Jen provided won ton noodle soup for lunch and Neti brought lentil soup for dinner. My usual GREAT appetite is finally returning thanks to all of my dear friends. Good sleep last night solves so many problems. xoxoxoxox

the road to recovery

 My wonderful Care Team (Heidi and the Blogmaid) got me in to see my doc yesterday and she dripped saline and water into my depleted body. Plus some anti-nausea meds and today I am thinking that normal life might just be possible again. I have a bit more energy this morning and my outlook is more positive than it has been all week. So grateful to all my loving friends and dear Sis too.

tummy issues

 A few down days here as I recover from some sort of stomach virus. Thanks to Heidi and the Blogmaid for super nurse and advice services. 

the French chef

 My tenant, Ari, prepared Easter lunch yesterday before he hopped on his bike to head out to Baker Beach. He is a delight and so easy to be with and interesting. A lazy Easter for me, for sure.
