December 14th

It sure did feel good not to get up so early and know that Julie would be just fine.  I txt Julie and thought I'd be there at 10.  I miscalculated a bit since I was talking with Pam and Steve.  I also stopped and got a bite to eat on the way.  It's becoming a very easy trip now that I know the way.  Something about repetition that makes things simple and easy.

 

Julie is moving very well and very careful about her pain meds, making sure she's not taking too much but not allowing the pain to become intense either.  I'm so proud of her and the woman she's become.  We watched a different version of my old favorite the "King and I" and since it was the first time for me, I enjoyed it immensely.  It was noon when we finished and time for lunch.  I put together a salad that Julie suggested ingredients for and we had a wonderful lunch.

 

Julie was up for her first walk so off we went.  There was a park just a block over and an open house in between.  It was a 2 bedroom 1 bath very small and mot fixed up listed for $499,000. we were both appalled.  The yard was nice and long in the back but the house was 10 feet from the next door neighbors.  The price of real estate is high in Alameda.  We continued to park and enjoyed sitting for a while and the continued around the block.  On the other side of the block we found another open house and was going to see that house but it was worse than the first and we didn't even want to look at it, so didn't.  Julie did very well and we probably walked about 5 blocks stopping as needed but she's doing very well.

 

At Julie's we watched Happy Gilmore.  I enjoyed since again I hadn't seen it.  At the end Julie was falling asleep so I left her since it 4:30 pm and I wanted her to sleep until Mason got back from Dicken's faire. 

 

I came back to Vallejo and stopped at the Black Bear Diner, where I enjoyed a great meal.  I listened to the book I had been hearing in the car so continued my story.  On my way home I saw that I was almost out of gas.  I thought I had a lot in the morning so didn't get it and all of the sudden I was almost out.  I got great gas only spending $2.63 for it and felt quite happy.  I do love a bargin,

 

I returned home to Pam's and enjoyed a quiet evening until Pam and Steve got there and heard about the great time at David's.  So sorry Julie and I couldn't make it.

 

I'm so glad I can be here to enjoy Julie and be with her as she recovers.
