One business group finally gave up the one Zoom meeting we were having each month. We now meet in person every week. I am so eager to avoid Zoom meetings.

Onward.

The family went to the house in Cazadero. We sat by the creek with our feet in the water. It is a short walk from the house. We had some conversation. We simply sat surrounded by beauty and peacefulness.

True relaxation.

Two friends and I have been meeting for lunch for years. Now it is alternating weeks. One of the women said she would not join us this week. The other woman did not show up. When I called, she had forgotten.

She is doing this more often.

Susan and Murphy, her dog, have been with me on my morning walks for a long time. They have accompanied me three days a week. They are moving to the east coast and I said goodbye today.

I am sad.

Isaac’s first year at Oregon is over. He flies into Oakland on a Monday night and leaves early Tuesday for his job at Camp Tawonga. His parents are picking him up at the airport. I shall drive over and see him at the curb. A ten-minute drive for a hug and greeting

Worth it for sure.

It is the end of May and it has typically been warmer. I am wearing sweaters, using a blanket, and usually have a jacket. People are complaining.

Climate change

I had a manicure In Santa Monica. Decided to continue doing my nails myself. Historically, I threw out all of the polishes I had. Shopped for polish. Was shocked at the prices. Went to a new “very thrifty” store. Found affordable polish.

Cost contributes to my decisions.

Carrie had the day off of work for Passover. She and I went out for lunch to a place Julie favors. She insisted we order pancakes. We did, with an omelet.

Is there something out of sync with the holiday?

Went to my ophthalmologist for an eye exam. All was good. Next appointment in six months.

The next day I had pink eye.

I flew Southwest to LA. The airline advocates humor for its crew. The person in the cockpit was a riot when he gave his speech welcoming us on the flight. I asked the flight attendant to thank him. She said I would have to do it myself.

I guess she has heard him a few times.
