–Dark day, though no rain to speak of. Tree trimmers were all around, including our Chinese Pistache tree–but only the branches that were over common property

–Went to UPS (twice) for (a) pump bottles–these MAY work for Weleda, which is really thick stuff; (b) yet another Homedics toothbrush–I have two good batteries now, and really looking forward to the smart charger I ordered. Spent a lot of time playing with three units/two batteries/12 brush heads, trying to put together the best example. Also, turns out standard AA batteries fit and work, but weakly: they are 1.2 volts compared to the original batteries which are 2.4 volts, albeit with much lower mAh.

–Got a call from UC Davis Health to schedule echocardiogram–in April. Also they gave me a number to call re Zio patch: turns out no one had done anything about getting me one. They are now. Great.
