Is it only Friday?!!!

 

This has been “molasses week” for me.

 

It should be AT LEAST Saturday, if not Sunday!

 

One week from right now, God willing and the creeks don’t rise, Charli and I will have been on the ground in Costa Rica for two days and a couple of hours.

 

But right now, it’s three days before my final three days with Lisa Twining, my best friend forever. So, Monday seems a millennium away, but the next two days after  that will fly by.

 

I feel sooo caught between

 

HURRY UP!!!

and

STOP!!!

FINAL USA AGENDA TO DOs

 

Today I’ll be saying goodbye to Judy Grover at around noon here at my place.

 

Update:  We had a terrific visit and she remembered to remind me to get a selfie!  AND she gave me a wonderful handmade farewell gift, perfect for a writer:

 

Sunday I’ll be saying goodbye to Yolanda Red Smith Markle at El Toro Restaurant on Canyon at 1pm.

 

Monday I’ll be moving furniture to Lisa’s and Doug’s apartments.

 

Tuesday I’ll be handing over my vehicle to its new owner, hanging with Lisa, and sending Patches home with Lisa.

 

Tuesday evening I’ll be giving Charli her first dose of gabapentin.

 

Wednesday morning I’ll be  packing the last few items into my luggage, giving Charli her second dose of gabapentin, and then hanging with Lisa until we head to the airport in Lisa’s vehicle at around 2:30 p.m.

 

I need to be at the airport no later than 4p.m. for an international flight and — being anal — that means I want to be there at 3:30.  Leaving at 2:30 gives us 90 minutes for what is usually a 40-minute drive, traffic jams notwithstanding.

 

Wednesday night shortly after 7 p.m., Charli and I will be flying to San Francisco and then on to San Jose, Costa Rica.

 

I walked again this morning

 

I’m at 6,960 steps so far today at almost 11 a.m. Will walk again later.  I walked over 10K steps yesterday.

 

Had a sweet but short dream about DeForest Kelley last night.  I’ll cover that in my next blog post, coming later today.
