I REALLY miss the south. I just spent a week at home... it's still warm and comfortable at night. The humidity wasn't bad at all until you did something athletic (driving range). Saw old friends (KB and MC). MC got a new truck. Sigh. Played pool with the locals. Drank pina coladas.
Warm water, gentle breezes, pristine white sand. But unlike 80% of the country, I guess I do love my job -- my reason for being here in Cali.
It's not all bad -- but I guess I wish I could have spent even more time there. Took today off to recover from flying (joint pain) -- plus had my final electrical inspection -- and passed! All contractors gone for a brief while. Seeking a new roomie as we speak and have several good candidates. I do need to do that bathroom eventually but would never be able to find a contractor that fast.
If you have a General Contractor you can recommend, or someone specifically that has experience in bathrooms, please do let me know. I have a great recommendation on an electrician conversely if you need one in Oakland, just ask!
I finally get to see a rheumatologist on Monday. I still think it's just bad luck - not a real arthritis ;) But the wait was so long to see a specialist, I have to be grateful to get in at all. It's amazing how long the wait lists are in SF - almost a year for both seeing a good rheumatologist and an endocrinologist. That's why moving sucks - once you find good doctors, you hate to leave them! Anyhoo, medically, I'm doing fabulous. I do all sorts of work around the house with no more pain than the average jane.
Julian finally met the folks and all was well. Now I have to meet his family...
