I thought I’d update the blog with a little bit of what I’m experiencing here in “my husband is dying” land. Hospice. Our insurance (Kaiser) pays for Hospice 100%. Hospice’s “gating requirement” is that the patient has been given less than 6 months to live. So, in actual fact, we could have called in Hospice […]

Our Wedding (a/k/a The Best Wedding Ever)
With my husband sick (dying) with Stage 4 Cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic, I got to thinking back to our wedding oh so many moons ago. I only had one copy of the DVD from the wedding, but the amazing Joe Kenemore and Pat Roth of Cache Mediaworks were kind enough to put it into […]
Gyms & COVID-19
We have to close our gym! What can we do about our lease obligations? What about income? 1. Quickly consider alternative/home-based workouts. Sometimes necessity has to be the mother of invention. Consider setting up a “virtual gym” for your members who may also be stuck at home because of school closings, work closings, etc. If […]

Resistant Starch & Bone Broth
Hi: It’s funny the things that we do because we think that one thing (or another) is “better for” us. I’ll give you an example. I have always really loved (and sometimes had a craving for) white rice. Butofcourse, white rice is not GOOD for you, BROWN rice is good for you. So I would […]
Vegan Keto ? That’s a thing?
So. Hubby has Stage 4 bladder cancer. That means his bladder cancer has now left that general area, and has filled his lungs and is also in part of his muscles around his lungs. I know – sucks. The oncologist said he has “6 months to a year” to live (that was a month ago). […]
My Favorite Travel Bag
I travel a fair bit. I have tried out a lot of travel bags. My hubby might tell you that I’m a bit of a sucker for travel bags. (And gizmos. And cell phone battery packs – don’t ask how many I have. Just don’t.) HERE is my favorite bag (not a sponsored post). The […]
Sanoviv: Fitness Lecture, Staff & Class Comments
Yeah fine – I lied. One more post. We had a great lecture last night by Omar, who heads up Fitness here. It was the more amazing because, while all the lectures here have been in English, he did it simultaneously swapping back and forth between English and Spanish. I really like Omar. He knows […]
Sanoviv: Energy Medicine
Who knows? This might be my last post. We have one full and two half days left. I have done all but the largest one of my client projects, which I have just slated for tomorrow, leaving myself today and part of tomorrow to work out. The plan as it stands right now is to […]
Sanoviv Weekends
Saturdays are still pretty much like a weekday – doctor visits, spa folks, Quiet Room, etc. However, you get dessert for lunch (the photo is of ours this week), and serenaded by a troubadour at dinner ;-) Here’s a photo of our second favorite piece of art at the Mansion (first being the “dancing manatee”).
