The gimp squad’s big day in SF

So I made my way to UCSF’s Milberry center, where I met physical trainer Heidi Engel, who put me through nearly 90 minutes of exercises meant to help me reconnect my brain to my left side. Heidi sessions usually leave me fairly exhausted: by the time I got home, the combination of workout and chemo fatigue put me right to bed (and besides, the cleaning ladies were here).
I did manage to brine the turkey for tomorrow, and I started the sweet potatoes this PM for finishing up tomorrow: Linda will be doing the stuffing and my other dishes - pan seared brussel sprouts and mushroom ragout, are quick. So I feel reasonably prepared for the big day.
Cassie, like me, just takes life as it comes. Ace painter Jerry Clark (who I am unhesitant to recommend wholeheartedly) showed up and painted the hall bathroom, the hallway, and our newly installed garage door - perking up the house for the holidays. Cassie liked his drop cloths - even with her gimpy paw she could get traction almost anywhere. Anyway, it is what it is: all one can do is take life as it comes…
