Earthquake in Japan

my Prius is in the background of the house, spring is here.

Happy St. Paddies Day! My soda bread with yeast was better this time but still needs work.

Kirk was coming over, but I'm still queasy and he strained his back working on a retaining wall. I need to light a fire, give him one of m muscle relaxers and pain pills and put on some nice music why we each collapse on a couch. He says he's walking gingerly. He had a 3 day sail to Angel island overnight this weekend he had been looking forward to. I once camped out overnight there. (It was a Japanese/Chinese immigration station and generally all visitors have to be off the island at night. This was scheduled through the Sierra club I think.) Fortunately he had a dry run dinner last weekend. A very interesting man.

Poor Japan, I can't imagine the wave and melt down. How horrible.

I had lunch today with a lawyer and he will do my living trust. i need to get my medical power of attny,. directive and will updated.
Terry is nice, about Bob's age, in relatively good health for a man who underwent radiation 3 wks ago,

I am really enjoying Kirk. He's the photographer, my age that cooks. Last week he made a loaf of bread for me to take home. He's got the hot tub and we take turns cooking,and hosting. Initially we individually cooked. That knocked me out. So I requested we share the preparation.

Still haven't heard about the disability ruling.

We see each other once a week but he's been making me want to see him more. This week because he is sailing all weekend and sleeping on the boat, we are seeing one another on Thurs, I have a craving for egg rolls, so if I get inspired I'll make those and or orange beef or oyster beef and brown rice or shrimp scampi with salad.

I made some bread on Mon, with some yeast he gave me. Didn't make his good w wheat bread. Made 2 loaves of white Amish, One as a cranberry, raisin cinnamon and the other plain. As a consequence, I made pancakes Mon., Tues. french toast and today oatmeal with raisins, vanilla and cinnamon to settle my queasy stomach. It's been bad for 3 days.

Today the Thai chicken satay and summer roll probably didn't help. I knew not to get my usual yellow curry. I just had some rice to mop up the acid in my rolling belly, chicken carrots and broccoli w teriyaki chicken.

I need to let Efrain go. Patrick too needs to go.

Jim, despite the age and he smokes is OK to do things with sometimes. We may go see the King's Speech or Lincoln Lawyer or The fighter. I didn't like social network much despite the fact it skipped. Red box took it out of play and gave me a credit. I like those machines.

1. Four places I go: home, Starbucks, Savemart, Noah's bagels, Kirk's house, Trader Joe's,

2. Four favorite smells: Garlic, Clam chowder , strawberry pie, tea, earl grey, freshly made bread, especially Kirk's


3. Four people I think will respond: Karen, Kim, Caro, Marilyn,


4. TV shows I watch: Grey's Anatomy, Brothers and Sisters, desperate Housewives, Private Practice and Jeopardy


I read all 3 Swedish novels on The girl with the dragon tattoo.

I need to repack the car and my backpack for disaster with shoes, boots, food for me and Lacy for a week, my tent, sleeping bag, tent, stove, mess kit, water, flashlight, garbage bags, bleach, first aide kit, utensils, shovel, money, credit cards, clothes, crowbar?, gloves, duct tape, safety pins, clothes, leach and maybe the carrier for Lacy. sunglasses, passport, waterproof sack backpack cover, go to school if I can not stay in my driveway or back yard. I also have a backpacking hatchet, so I need matches and or a lighter. In 89 or so after the Loma Prieta earthquake I started carrying tennis shoes in the car in case I was stuck in dress shoes. I wore heels today and couldn't stand it. I can't walk on the tiny heel and put my weight on the sole any more. I'm fallen out of the habit. I need a crank radio and would also like a hd radio.

I do know the ocean won't get over the Santa Cruz mountains to me. I will make Michael my contact person if any one wants to know if I'm o.k.

This morning Lacy was sitting in the window looking out at the deck and backyard when Vinnie the small dog from the corner came barking his head off at her. She sat peacefully, until I got a leash and took him through the house to the front door. She flew down the hall to the safety of our room.
His owner David, The crazy man on the corner was looking for him and told me I have a hole in my fence. That is how the tiny hot dog of my house keeper, kept getting out. I will take the extra boards I saved from my fence replacement and plug the hole temporarily. I was going to make a new gate.

Just made some Irish soda bread with raisins. I cheated and added a bit of yeast an extra egg and buttermilk, It's better but still soda bread, but it beats the boring Monday white bread. That had no texture bubbles. I hope that and the soup will sop up the acid in my tummy.

I'm learning to tweet.

This weekend I'm seeing Rudolfo Anaya's, Bless me Ultima. Then, a movie with Jim and taxes on Sat. The fighter is out on Red box now.
