Across the Bridge

the pavement and the cars heading like lemmings toward the Bay Bridge.
After a quick stop at Peet’s since I could hardly face the traffic for the second time this week without coffee, I slid my car into the stream and flowed with the traffic. Unlike Monday, it seemed like the toll lights on the bridge were now in sync with the change to daylight [not] saving time.
We (oncology and me) agreed that an every three month Rituximab infusion for infinity made more sense than planning on every two months for the next two years – then waiting to see what happens after that. Been there, interrupted by Covid and things slipping out of control.

For a change, everything went smoothly and I was on my way home at a reasonable time. Traffic? Not so much, in fact it was worse than a morning commute. There are a couple of routes home. If I had been thinking I would have taken the norther route, but no ….. At least I could stop for treats, right? There wasn’t a line (extremely unusual) at Acme Bakery as I turned the corner onto Cedar from San Pablo. Parking and heading around the building, the sky seemed to open up and I was glad to have remembered an umbrella. Two apple tarts and a sticky bun later, I headed home…

There were computer games calling me…..

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
