Jun 2019

On the 1st, Jef started a couple of projects at Big Rock, did some shopping, and drove Kathy to MD.

On the 2nd, Jef finished some projects & Kathy cleaned the Big Rock house before we packed an went back to Borrego.


Project nearly completed at left is shelf for TV, and partly completed - new ceiling fan top right to be completed next visit

On the 3rd, Kathy started late this day, so Jef drove to PO to pick up new bed pump and fixed up Kathy's air bed, which was causing her back pain by going flat when she slept. Called J&T and they came and picked up car, later identifying problem as a failed starter.

On the 4th, a very busy day at the office. Jef took off and drove to MD appointment. Had a blow-out 15 minutes shy of MD office. Had no jack in car, so had to call AAA. Managed to get to MD before he left for the day, got x-rays, and fracture was essentially healed. On way back, on Montezuma Valley Rd, saw car stopped in middle of road, and noticed a cow had gotten loose and was walking along road. Then, halfway down the grade, saw a van being loaded on a tow truck. That not being enuff, noted a bumper along road near bottom of grade, followed by blinking red & blue of cop who was attending to the rest of a car(a car had probably taken curve too fast). Jef made it to work, and worked another 4 hours.


After AAA swapped the shredded tire with the spare

On the 5th, another long day at the office.

On the 6th, yet another long day at the office.

On the 7th, after a very hectic, long day at the office, dined at El Borrego with David.


Dining at El Borrego


David had tacos, which he said were similar to those he sampled in Mexico City, Jef had steak rancheros, and Kathy had a carne asado burrito

On the 8th, Kym & Sharon drove to Slab City. Jef, David and Kathy did some work at the office. The Morgans came over for dinner and to learn how to do streaming.


Jef playing with Roku control for first time ever. Liked the lineup on Amazon

On the 9th, mostly took it easy in bed most of the day, but then made a batch of posole for dinner.


Kathy hearding doggies away from smells on the shoulder of the road, after lap with doggies, Jef & Kathy continued - 4 miles was the longest Jef walked since breaking ankle

On the 10th, Kathy was out sick, so cancelled a full day at the office, Jef caught up on paperwork.

On the 11th, Kathy was still out sick, so cancelled another full day at the office. Jef worked at office all day to try to catch up. Kathy felt well enough for a home care patient. Later that night, she noticed a leak in washing machine. She took drain off to find clog and found a way to drain it without getting too much water on floor, but apparently didn't close drain sufficiently, as when she did next load, Jef walked into kitchen and stepped in water. About 500 square feet of house was buried in a giant puddle. We worked til midnite getting rid of the water. The new shop vac Jef just got on Amazon sucked up most of the water.

On the 12th, Kathy was well enuff to do a full day at the office. That night, Kathy accidentally broke her favourite crystal glass. She shouted for Jef to help her, but he was sound asleep & woke up 15 minutes later after Kathy cut her feet up walking barefoot while cleaning it up. Jef woke up and helped with clean-up, but was still pretty tired.


Paloverdes started blooming again at the office


We dined at El Borrego this evening at the first 2 for 1 special this week - we all got tacos


Sunset at El Borrego

On the 13th, Jef drove Kathy to Escondido for MD appointment. Afterwards we shopped & washed the car. We got back to Borrego before dark, and went for a walk, but Jef was too tired to do a 2nd lap with Kathy.


At the Asian store by Kathy's MD, they sell garlic in big packages. Kathy wanted Stacey to see this, as Stacey cooks with a lot of garlic

On the 15th, Jef, Kathy & David went to the office to work. Jef found the main computer didn't work, so took computer & spare home. After resting a bit, started swapping power supplies with spare, but after getting half way with this, noticed a loose wire. Tightened it up with wire nut and tried main computer. It worked, so took computer back to the office and did a little more work. Jef took it easy the rest of the day, as he was zonked.

On the 16th, took it easy until Mary called. She was to come to our house, but got lost, so Jef picked her up and brought her to Weststar so that Kathy could show her the virtues of streaming entertainment & using an Ooma. Afterwards, Jef & Kathy went to David's birthday party.


Water balloons started flying at David's party

On the 26th, too long of a day at the office, so Kathy didn't get her desired walk in. This threw her off for the rest of the week. Jef's fault, of course.

On the 27th, another fairly long day at the office.

On the 28th, Jef took off for dentist, and then made 7 more stops (mostly at stores) before returning to Borrego. Rest of crew was still finishing up when arrived back.

On the 16th, another very long day at the office.

On the 17th, after a shortened, but long day at the office, we took doggies on walk around the circle and then continued on to old country club, going about 3.5 miles altogether. Kathy was hurting the whole way, but was determined to complete the hike.

Before going on a longer hike, Jef broke his ankle and the trip was cut short - Kathy drove home (with a couple of detours on the way stopping at a couple of our medical frients).

Jef broke his left ankle, so can still drive


Jef's scraped up knee

On the 22nd, went to the clinic, got an x-ray and found my ankle was indeed fractured. Kathy was too wiped out to work, so we cancelled all 12 patients for that day.

On the 23rd, back to work a long day at the office with Jef coming in on crutches and going home with a walker.

On the 24th, a moderate day at the office. Kathy equipped Jef with a wheelchair. A patient loaned us a wheelchair for home. Kathy walked with Kym and the doggies, but without "the gimp".
