FRIDAY : 04 JUL 2008
Amanda was off today. We went over to Carrie’s for an early BBQ. Their dog Shadow only likes people in his “pack”, and unfortunately I did not get the opportunity to make friends. LK was very cooperative, but we left early before any meltdowns could occur.
Amanda, her mom, and LK turned in early, or at least tried to. There were many fireworks going off in all directions very close to our townhouse. Amanda was bitter, and after one particularly loud explosion said: “I hope they blow their fingers off!” Harsh.
SATURDAY: 05 JUL 2008
Amanda took her mom to the airport very early in the morning (4:30am), but returned and we all slept in. Sorta, as LK is an early riser.
We had dinner with Jane and David. They had recently returned from El Salvador on a medical volunteer thing. They came over and we all walked to Mioposto. David was a bit sick, but we were hopeful he would boost LK’s immune system.
Mandy came over later. Bryan was out watching a pay-per-view MMA event. She and Amanda knitted while I merely engaged in conversation. Of course, every so often one of us would go upstairs to attend to a gorbling LK.
SUNDAY: 06 JUL 2008
Eve and Karl came over for a visit. It was good to see them as we had not in quite a while. LK does limit the social engagements. And Eve and Karl have been busy wedding planning during the past few months in their small amounts of free time (I believe Eve works quite a lot). Karl is still employed by WAMU, in spite of their many layoff periods, but is understandably skeptical of the future. They have started using Amazon Fresh for some of their grocery shopping and are pleased with the service.
