Earthquakes and Pickle Juice

 Good Morning from sunny California!  Although it has been chilly the last few nights, the days have been quite amendable.  This is the sunrise, looking the exact opposite direction of the sun.  Not really anything to write home about, but it's better than cold rain!

Here's something we've been having a few of here and there.  Earthquakes.  The red line is the San Andreas Fault that will make California fall off into the ocean.  Lucky for me, I live far from the fault line and rarely feel anything.  It takes a 5 or 6 point earthquake for me to barely feel it.  It's a sensation you get in your head and ears, which makes you immediately look to the overhead lights and ceiling fans.  This was a small one!!

Here we are on the couch, where I recovered from the leg cramps and the ANGRIES.  Some times it takes awhile when people you know do stupid stuff to purposely hurt people you know and like.  It just boggles my mine that people can be so mean and cruel, then laugh about it.  I'll try to get past it, but it's going to be hard.  This sweet boy will help!!

Jonathan is still hanging out, discoing, talking and screaming up a storm.  Surprisingly, he's none the worse for wear after that long trip in the tiny van cage.  He makes me laugh every day ... when the first thing he says is WATCHA DOIN'???  DISCOOOOOO .......

Thank you everyone for the leg cramp remedies.  I'm not a fan of pickle juice, but I always have it around.   I already drink lots of water, so maybe a little salt in the bottle will help.  On the other hand, Nurse Patty came up with the best suggestion of the day!!  It's salt, right?????

I had four things to do on this day.  Meet with accounting clients, hit the Post Office, drive the van and pick up some oil to make banana bread.  It seems all three of my bottles of oil went rancid at the same time.  

Everywhere you look around here you see these almond trees in full bloom from the lovely sun.  Sneeze sneeze!!  Everyone's allergies are going crazy, including mine.  This picture does not do them justice ... acres and acres of gorgeous white blossoms.

I met my first client at her newest residence.  She's 92 and has fallen a few times, so has moved into a senior facility.  I was surprised it looked so nice.  Kind of like a hotel.  At the moment she has a single room, but will soon be moved into a two bedroom apartment.  The cost is outrageous!  $6,000 a month for 250 square feet.  I suppose they supply meals and activities, but that is unaffordable for most everyone.  

She had her grandson set up two computers so I can take one home and do her books.  It didn't work.  He copied all the files, but not the program that runs them.  We'll work on that.

Whereupon I completely forgot about the post office and wasn't feeling it when it came to the van.  I couldn't forget the oil however ... banana bread is one of Jonathan's favorites!!  I put in a Walmart order instead.  That's when I was reminded that the running light on this side of my truck was not working.  

THIS is a pain to get to and even harder to replace the bulb.  I guess it will be the surgery of the day.  

There was more bookwork done, three walk-bys of the puzzle table, a big save of Mr. Clean stuck yet again under the same chair (will he ever figure that out?) and lots of list making so I don't forget the post office yet again.  All the while, Mr. Jonathan was yawning like crazy. 

Apparently it was past everyone's bed time!!  This doesn't look very comfortable to me!!

It's Sunday ... a day of rest ... not that I haven't rested up every other day of the week!!  Maybe after the truck surgery, I'll get up enough energy to drive the van and charge the batteries!!!  Yes I got a battery charger, but I don't know how to use it.  I'm taking it to Bingo on Tuesday in the hopes someone can explain it to me!!  I'll take notes this time!!
