The heat wave seemed to have ended, but Amanda was still on call. She had a laboring patient the night before and eventually went in to deliver the baby. She got back home before bfast, though, which we had at Geraldine’s Counter. After bfast, I dropped her off at Swedish for rounds and took the Kai to the Japanese Garden.

We spent a lot of time at the garden. We were there early so there were not a lot of people around. We fed the koi for a long time… I was able to prolong the feeding by searching for spilt food from other people once our baggie of kibble ran out. The Kai enjoyed looking for stray kibble as well.

After feeding the fish and turtles, the Kai basically ran around in circles. He ran over a little bridge and then hopped over rocks in a stream with my help. Over and over and over and over. I did not find it as exciting as he did, but it did tire him out.

Amanda’s rounding went a bit late, so I took the Kai home for lunch and then went back to Swedish to pick her up. Unfortunately, right as I got there, she got paged again for another laboring patient. I went home for the Kai’s nap. I also napped a bit myself.

I planned to go back to Swedish with the Kai to hang out and have dinner as she might have to stay for a long long time. I would then drop off the car and take the train or bus back with the progeny. However, her patient went in for a C-Section (good for us, less ideal for the patient), so I just picked her up.

On the way home we stopped for ice cream cones and then stopped by MC-AC’s place to check out their new inflatable kiddie pool.

Now everyone is sleeping but me, but I will be shortly.
