the long four days are now over.
lots of activity, including a one=day flight to LA. not the preferred way, but it does work ok. it was a very productive one day including a trip to the best farmers market and then out after lunch to get pedicures for all of us, and i got a mini-manicure as well. lots of fun but a bit ticklish when they file the callouses on the heels.
dinner tonight at Merit Vegetarian, a wonderful place not too far from J&R's house in sunnyvale. they do "chicken" and "beef" from meat substitutes but it does not taste fake. the spicing is wonderful and they have vegan desserts. wow. we got one each cheesecake and mocha layer cake to share among five and it was fine. totally yummy.
my arm is healed and so i took a nice soak in the tub before dinner. that plus clean sheets. what a wonderful combination. now if the cat will only let me sleep in, it will be a complete deal.
so glad this weekend is over. onward and upward. a busy week ahead. and drawing closer to the one year anniversary. almost everyone i speak with has the same reaction: how can it be a year already? it feels at the same time both a much shorter time and a much longer. time is strange. that's all i can conclude. reminders about friday april 10 service at 7:30 PM, and dinner monday april 13 for thai. have to figure out how to do this thai food during passover. technically. i should not have rice. however, one of the key ingredients in sticky rice with mango is (duh) rice. on the "do not eat" list for most. ah well. some things transcend the normal religious rules. imho.
