well would you look at that...
Hey Look! Two posts in one month!
Yesterday I found out that Lyon-Martin Clinic might be closing it's doors for good as of this Thursday. This comes as a great shock. I"ve been getting all of my primary and obg care there for the last 7 years. I'm currently in the middle of being followed for some serious health stuff that I only just switched to UCSF a week or two ago, but otherwise would be treated there. 3 days notice is NOT enough to close a clinic, especially one that serves a largely uninsured community that's going to struggle to find care elsewhere.
This is apparently the move of some rogue board member. The clinic has no money, so it's understandable where this is coming from. But this is entirely against the staff and clients' wishes and is being done with no followup plan for folks who will be left out in the cold by the closure. Hopefully the news spreading will cause enough uproar to catch city officials' attention and something can be done.
Last week I did ALL the things. I went out dancing TWICE (that's twice more than I have since my surgery). I saw Zoe Keating play at the Independant. I went to both nights of the Edwardian Ball. Did the Dark Garden fashion show. Signed up to be a roadie for the AIDSLifeCycle (you can sponsor me by clicking here) and went to their Red Party. Went to a fancy knickers and wigs themed birthday party and another birthday potluck. All of this while working full time. Shocker, I fell down and went boom. I've been home sick the last two days but am finally recovering. I even got to ride my new bike yesterday!
Speaking of, I have a new bike! It's the first new bike I've ever had. I had a $50 flee market bike for the last 7 years that was way too small for me. With the new knee, I just can't afford to ride something that doesn't fit properly. This thing is so comfy and easy to maneuver. I knew it would be better, but I was still astounded by the difference. I need to take advantage of the sunny days when they happen and build up some cardiovascular stamina. Wanna go for a bike ride?
Momma Moses was here for about week. My housemate was out of town so she got her own room. It was really to get so much quality time with her. It's strange to be acutely aware of the fact that she's getting older. She's growing her hair out and you can really tell how much gray she has. I supposed at 60 years old she's allowed to have it. I look forward to when she moves out here.
The BayList is doing it's Best of again. I came close to winning a bunch of these different best of the bay type things last year and then my knee took over. i'd really like it to happen this time. You can vote for me here. Please spread the word!
