zyzylyWell, that was kind of a long week. I suspect there's still some more tomfoolery ahead of us in the coming weeks, but at least there is a hint of dawn on the horizon. We are relieved.
I have lost all track of time, and can't remember when I did what. We went out to the coast a week or two ago and stayed overnight in Montara. We ordered in from Nick's Rockaway and walked along the coast in the morning.
The day before, we stopped in to see all my step-sisters in Burlingame. One of them is recovering from knee surgery, so is laid up at home with a big cast on. A few blocks away, the other two were busy making large batches of Chex party mix.
They gave us a big bag to take home with us. Malida had never tried Chex mix, and took to it immediately. She finished off the bag and insisted I make some more, which we did yesterday. It's not as good as my sister's. She is an amazing cook and baker, and has a catering business that she started after retiring.
We had hoped to take a drive up over the Tioga Pass in Yosemite today, but there is a storm up there, and the pass is closed temporarily. I'd like to get up there again before the pass closes for the winter. This will be the first Fall that I haven't been up that way in a long time. Yosemite has been pretty closed down during the pandemic, and really just opened up without restrictions last week. We do have reservations to stay there over Christmas, and are hoping that the situation allows that.
We went to the museum last Friday to see my photos before they took them down. My other step-sister, who lives here in town, joined us. She is in a multimedia class, and is doing a documentary on me. It's kind of a summation of my career as a nurse. I'll be interested to see how it turns out.

The weather has cooled down considerably in the past few days, and it really feels like Fall now. I like it. I tend to experience some sort of seasonal affective disorder, but in the summer rather than the winter, so when the weather cools, I always feel better.
It's just after 6:30 am here, and there is a hint of dawn on the horizon. I'm enjoying a cup of coffee and listening to the Celtic music show, and it is shaping up to be a lovely day.
