Journal - Thursday - Dec. 11 - Preparing to leave for LA

Woke up at 5 am cold.  Checked electrical . Out.  Heat off.  Fuse box fine.  Checked electricity outside Fine.  Looked up .  All the lights out . City Transformer blown again.

Got extrablancket .  Cuddled up with Madigan.  50 degrees.  Got up again 730.  Prayed and meditated.  Outside met Mach.  “The Transormer again.  Estimated return of power 10.”

I contacted Mary Lou and asked her to cancel. 9 and 10 apt.  Without electricity didn’t have Starlink. Without starlink didn’t have my Oscar EMR and capacity to fax in RX.  Was planning on taking my car into storage .  Headed out with Madigan .  Put car in storage for 4 months  Still haven’t had coffee.  Taxi didn’t come after a half hour.  I called back. “This is a Burnaby Company and you are in Coquitlam. I don’t have any cars for there.”  I hung up.  Called the Bel Air Coquitlam Taxi cab.  10 minutes later they arrived and took me and Madigan back to BCRV park.  

Power had been restored.  I called patients and saw 2 already.  Heat up to 70 from 5.  The propane guy filled the tank .  I’ve got electrical and propane heat working. 

I’ve got an afternoon of patients and then I’m done.  All that needs to happen is for me to stow, take in slides and prepare to load Vesp. Maybe today more likely in morning. I have to pull forward to load Vespa.

I am very thankful to God everything is getting done. I’m down to the last items.  Maybe phone Centralia RV park .  Maybe phone after I cross border tomorrow. I’m having a range of up and down moods. I walked Madigan to bridge over the Brunette where Laura and I spread the ashes for George and Gilbert. Thought of driving south with blind Gilbert and him frolicking on the beaches.  Talked to him and George.  

Madigan wants more of my Turkey sandwich.  I could use another coffee.  

I enjoyed last night’s Men’s Meeting, seeing Neil, and George , Dean, Stan, Jack, Tom and Marty. Blair and Mark took their cakes 3 and 6.  It was good. I’ll miss the Wednesdays night men’s.  Must do in person and on line meetings when I’m away. I’d like to do in person in LA.  

Life is good.  God is Good .  Thank you Jesus.
