Haley’s eyes = good
Haley had her annual eye exam on the 13th and all is well. 20-20 vision and no other problems. She got the good eyes, unlike the rest of us!
Back MRI
I had an MRI on my back on 9/10. It was really uncomfortable because my big belly meant I had a lot of pressure there, and it was hard to breathe. But I put up with it for 45 minutes. The doctor says I have deterioration in my lower few vertebrae, and narrowing of the nerve channels there. Yuck.
Panel on Informational Interviewing
I participated in a panel on “Informational Interviewing” for the Jewish Vocational Services, on 9/11. About 20 people were in attendance, all in various stages of job searching. Jeanine at the JVS really helped me with my resume and other skills, which I’m sure contributed to me landing my great job at Guidewire.
Lunch with Francesca
Francesca and I also try to get together on a regular basis. On 9/10 we had lunch at the Pho Saigon Meat and Noodle House in San Mateo, and just chatted and strolled afterwards.
Breakfast with Freda
Freda and I had a “catch up” breakfast at Bay Watch in Burlingame on 9/10. We try to get together regularly to keep up on ecah others’ lives.
Vegetable Family Evening
Diner was fun tonight. Early in the afternoon (OK, right after she woke up), Katelyn said “Can we make a big pot of vegetable soup? And a big salad to eat while we’re waiting for the soup to cook?” How can you say no to that? So we made a trip to the store and loaded up on good stuff, everyone chopped and advised and stirred and seasoned, and we had a fabulous dinner while watching “Spirited Away“. What a wonderful family evening!
A Shot in the Thumb?
That’s right. On 9/5 I visited the doctor who’s been treating my broken/dislocated thumb from my fall in February. It’s been “clicking” and really sore. Turns out I have a “Trigger Thumb“, so I ended up getting a steroid injection n the base of my thumb.
Jennifer & Selena + Marilyn & Val = Games & Fun
Jennifer & Selena came over on 9/1 for an evening of games and relaxation. Always a fun time!
Dinner with Out-of-town Family
On 8/31 I went to San Francisco and had dinner at Max’s Opera Cafe with Susan, Joel, Joe, and Kathy. Joe and Kathy were taking a break from their busy life in Manhattan to go to a wedding in Napa. It was a quick visit, only a couple of hours, but nice to see everyone. The kids couldn’t go because they were at Glynis & Susan’s, and Val wasn’t up to going out yet.
Solar Panels
Got our 10 solar panels on 8/29. It was exciting because quite a number of companies had told us they wouldn’t install on our metal Cal-Pac roof. These guys did it with no problems at all. Final inspection is Monday, after which they’ll actually turn on the panels.
