slice o' life
yes
things are good for me right now. i'm getting a (dental) crown at the
berkeley free clinic tomorrow. I helped out with Augustus yesterday.
He's a fun little tike. walked Fido and Taco today. happy cinco de
mayo and national teacher's day! I had dinner at 801 with Tom and
Jeannine Sunday night. I helped mom garden (also at 801) on Saturday.
Someone left two big bins full of lego-style blocks out on the street today near me
in bkly which I picked up! that'll be a good gift, maybe in a year. I
showed my folks all the instagram photos of Augustus, Sara, Pierre,
Marcel... We used a neighbor's wifi. I'm going to Royaneh in July for
the big 90th party. I'm housesitting/dogsitting at the end of this
month (22nd-25th). I had a delicious gourmet cookie (choc. chip) this
morning at the San Leandro library, with a cup of coffee. I have my
usual kaiser group on thursday mornings, followed by walking marcel, in
oakland. I'm reading Night Watch, another Terry Pratchett book. I just
got new brake pads on my bike (at the new Sports Basement store). my
kaiser med refill just arrived in the mail. my money situation is good
(i'm frugal and get mostly free food) -i like to tally my budget, it's a
fun exercise (for me). Anyway, yes I'm looking fwd to Ben's party! I bought a lottery ticket for tonight. You can get a
music device for when you swim. If I win, I'm getting that!
