monterey is a lovely little town. being right on the bay, its foggy and chilly, ideal for me... were i prepared for it. i left my hoodie up north. *frown* nonetheless. ive gotten out quite a bit. dennis the menace park, fishermans wharf, lovers something or other. drove into pacific grove, very cute little town. story book even.
last night i went to the ER. 2 hours in and out ... amazing. memphis would've taken 16 minimum, oakland... perhaps 24. i had some dodgy swelling in my ankles on the flight from memphis. it hadnt gotten any better. so to ease my mind, and the mind of my loved ones (yes i have them) i surrendered and walked in. im very glad i did. turns out i am fine. no underlying issues, just some superficial swelling and the doc just said to stay off my feet. thats the worst bit. you dont tell that to a chubby girl whos trying to walk and be active. Grrr! what a pisser.
anywy. i havent taken alot of pics here. i have been terribly worried aboout the swelling... so i am relieved. tomorrow samantha is driving down and we are going to the aquarium and having dinner... then we head back to walnut creek til i fly out to anchorage. sigh
i am ready to be in anchorage. im too old to gypsy around like this. lol. its fun, but then at points i just want to go home. jennifer has made great strides in making the place comfy. she even got an suv last weekend. so she is mobile. i am hearing mixed reviews about public trans there. i will get there and see what happens. hell i may be driving again before this adventure ends.
stay tuned!
