getting stuff done

 It's still so satisfying to cross off all the mundane details on my To Do List. The Blogmaid and I leave for Maryland a week from tomorrow and I'm still recovering from Ashland and  then swimming 5000 laps (joke) up in Davis last weekend. My devoted cat Annabelle begs for lap time and what's a woman to do?

and more treasures

 

Well, obviously the middle two photos are not part of the Egyptian Pharaoh exhibit at the deYoung where I met Neti yesterday for a very fine and thorough visit yesterday. They have done a beautiful job with these ancient artifacts that have held up so beautifully for so long. A very good day.

assorted needles

 I started the day with acupuncture and then hit Kaiser in the afternoon for the flu and Covid vaccines. So not a very exciting Tuesday, but my body thanks me. There is a promise of sunshine today, but so far the usual morning fog. 

all things Italian

 Of course you remember Cristina, my neighbor who is currently in Italy, and shown here with her mama on the left. Well, my next tenant, Lorenzo, is a young Italian orthopedic surgeon who will move into Emma's Room on Oct. 9th for a month. He came over to visit on Sunday, bringing Italian espresso and he is already in love with SF and I urged him to visit North Beach to visit his country men and women. A very nice guy ~ yes, fortune smiles on me once again. 

sunshine and luxury

 Susan's home in Davis was much like a 5 Star resort stay for me as she cooked three healthy meals a day and I swam and enjoyed the warm weather and total relaxation. Our early-to-bed, early-to-rise schedules meshed perfectly and we talked non-stop about everything and nothing. Driver Caesar took me to/fro and yes, I could easily get used to luxury living. Fogged in here with fireplace and cat this morning and that works just fine too. 

going swimming

 This morning I'm heading to Davis to visit my friend Susan ~ leaving the fog for some warm weather and I know that you are admiring my swim cap, as well you should. I'm not taking my MsBook Air so we all get a day or two off. See you Monday morning with a glowing report, or so I hope.

and from Australia...

 Thanks to Terri for recommending The Airport Chaplain on the Flix®. This warm and touching series features Hugo Weaving as the busy religious guy who handles all sorts of airport emergencies in unusual ways. I am hooked. I love the diversity of the employees and  the travelers from all over the world.
