I'm afraid, at this stage in my life, they would have to pay ME to get in that crowd. I'm glad you enjoy it @David777 ! I'm sure it's A lot of fun.

he wasn't in the crowd he was outside... that would be me also... not paying that kind of money to be jostled when I can stand outside the fence and hear the music just as well... :D
 

Today I had one of the Insurance underwriters call me.. and they had a form to fill in all about the smallest details of the accident, , either they could email to me or they could ask the questions over the phone..so I let them ask me because of the difficulty typing currently...

we were on the phone an hour and a half.. jeez... :eek:when I hung up, my left arm ( the good arm) went straight into a painful spasm where I'd been holding the phone tightly..

Actually, the venue in very hilly and forested Golden Gate Park is surrounded well beyond the music venues by temporary tall steel wire chain link fencing to discourage quality free listening. As for the dense concert crowd, that never bothers me as long as there are open areas which there were, though such is impossible to see from the photo low camera angle.

Most concert goers today tend to focus their attention on watching musicians play. As a short person often blocked in crowds by standing taller others that has also never played musical instruments, as an adult, have always been more interested in listening to whatever live music and dancing. In the earlier era, rock concerts in our region never had seating in front of stages, thus people were all standing.

I strongly dislike seating in front of rock concert stages that arose later. And am not one to dance in one spot but rather wander about finding wider open spaces to do so. That also allows meeting others socially, versus being stuck in one place. Have a gymnastic skill of rarely ever touching much less running into nearby others, able to rapidly freeze stop, when any others approach too closely then continue dancing dynamically just as rapidly when space opens again.

At each side of the stage were huge screens. So even those way in the back could see the musicians. As a polo field, the venue is 1400 feet long so those in back would otherwise be looking at ants.

👋I doubt people noticed, but I've been off SF for quite a while. So one 'accomplishment' today was getting my laptop back after a week. I'd taken it into the shop with the track pad and keyboard no longer functioning. The shop was out of the specific part my MacBook needed. And a three-day statutory weekend happened to intervened, as well.

Boy, did I have a lot of emails to sift through! a bunch of spam, to be sure!... but I was careful not to trash emails from people & offices important to me.

It feels good to be back here. I'v got things to catch up on. Hope everyone here is doing well.:)

good-morning.jpg
..it's 8.50am... overcast 63 deg... breezy , the high is expected to be 72...

The district nurse is due again this morning.. she was scheduled for tomorrow, but I have to be out tomorrow to take a 65 mile round trip... to the salvage where my old car has been taken, where they are allowing me an hours' grace to retrieve anything in it that is salvable...



I'm sitting by the open window to catch the breeze.... and the cuckoo is driving me nuts with its repetitive calling...:D
 
Everyone is sleeping. It's a darkish rainy morning.
DD and youngest GD came last night. They stayed over and will take GS home with them today.
My oldest GD is at camp. DD and the youngest had mommy/daughter time this week. The same when youngest GD went to camp last month.
3 yr old DGS has his summer camp with us. We get plenty of exercise when he's here!
 
Having the stitches removed from my forehead this morning at 8:30, from the skin cancer being removed last week, and then I'm not sure what I'll do the rest of the day.....the ortho doc told me yesterday, after my first knee injection, to hold off on my daily walk and to limit walking period as much as possible till the rest of the injections (2) are over.

This morning,friend Mary is picking me up at 9, our weekly 'road trip today,local grocery store, Wegmans

I've called in for my dinner reservation in the dining room tonight at 5:30,never know who I'll be seated with.
I remember when I first moved in, Connie suggested I try eating in the dining room a couple times during the week, a great way to meet other residents,it did help

My dinner companions were Judy&Alan who have been here since Gates opened in 2017, I always enjoy talking with them,nice couple
 
Some days I amaze myself. After all the events of yesterday, I highly expected to really hurt today and be a whinner. Besides getting up to pee several times, due to overeating watermelon, I slept good and got up feeling best I have for many months.

All I took before bedtime last evening was a couple of Tylenol. I have sore spots on my back from falling the other night. That falling was from my own stupidity. I am basically a non drinker of intoxicating beverage. It was mildly hot at our granddaughters wedding a few days ago. The iced wine looked good so I had one. I started BSing with a young man and someone kept refreshing my drink. Anyway once we got home late, 3 hours past my bedtime, I fell asleep very quickly.

It was after midnight I got up to pee and suddenly realized I was falling backwards and had no control. Lucky I didn't hit my head and hit flat on my back. I must have hit the door latch on the bedroom door, because something scrapped me very badly. It still hurts and really hurt yesterday when sweat was on it.

So anyway that scrap is still sore and my lower back is still mildly sore from that fall. The amazing thing is all that hard work yesterday that usually tears me up, didn't last night or this morning. I am beginning to wonder if heavily salted watermelon, has muscle and tendon healing properties. That is the only thing that differed from any other yard day.

I was feeling real pleased with myself until I realized I went to the pharmacy, braless.

Oh Lord. I drove to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription. Was almost there when I realized I had forgotten to put in my dentures. I remembered I had some covid masks in the glove box so I put one on and went in. There were a couple of other customers there. The lady behind the counter looked at me and said, "Oh, I'm sorry. Are you feeling badly?" I didn't know what to say because everybody there would probably think I shouldn't be there, spreading my germs around. I replied, "Oh, no. Allergies. The mask helps some."
 
Good almost-noon! I didn't get up until 7:30 and have been hauling @zz ever since.

It's a perfectly glorious day here and isn't going to get too warm again. Yay!

I fiddled in the garden and pulled some weeds/deadheaded a few flowers/then dethatched the parts of the lawn that have been attacked by fungus. Came in and made some breakfast. Called the credit union to sort out some stuff with a real person. Then got the laundry started, washed up some dishes, went to Publix to get milk, home again to switch laundry to the dryer. Now I have to fold/hang up the laundry. >insert whine here< There are some little chores that simply annoy the dickens outta me, and folding laundry is one of them. Another one is refilling the container that holds my meds for a week. It's separated into morning/noon/afternoon/evening compartments. Getting teeny tiny pills into them is a PITB.

Geez, I'm all outta breath!

As soon as the laundry is folded, I'm gonna settle down in front of the telly and veg while playing solitaire on the laptop.

Another rocking fun day ... here in ruraldomshire....

The District nurse came today... cleaned the wounds , changed the bandages...... I was telling her something funny my DD said to me just after the accident.. and she laughed until she had tears ...lol...

I needed to see a doctor at my GP practice, so when I finally got through on the phone after a queue of 17... receptionist told me there was no appts until end of the month.. then when she asked me what it was for.. she said the Paramedic can deal with this issue I have, and he has an appointment available on Monday , so that's good news, because it's an issue that needs dealing with quickly...

The good news is that if I'm unable to drive still.. there is a local bus that goes every hour or so.. which can take me there , and back...

I've done pretty much nothing today.... I'm resting because I have the trip to the salvage place tomorrow.. and not having been out for a month basically.. and still sore in most of my body.... it will take it out of me... so it's prudent that I do little today in prep for tomorrow...

I might however eat cake !:p:giggle:

Younger brother has been here four days. He fixed a lot of things that I couldn’t fix. Got the Farm tractor running again and did some bush hogging.

My neighbor through the woods, who is a deputy sheriff in our county, sent me this picture. He took it on the north east end of our road where all the fancy who-ha houses went up, so I imagine that disturbed its den. He said in 40 years, this is the only second rattlesnake he has seen on this road.

This is what a timber rattler in my area of Tennessee looks like.

I don’t know if he was in his vehicle or on the four wheeler. I didn’t ask him, lol.
