A couple Wednesdays ago (30 JUL), we had our parenting meeting at Pam and Gary’s place. They have a nice apartment right by Pike Place Market. There was no topic really, we just socialized.
Last Friday (01 AUG) was Amanda’s last day of residency. Woot! Although technically her last day was the 5th or something but she had no work to do those days. She made reservations to Nishino (as a reward for me?) for dinner. I was wary of taking LK there, but the hostperson said “no problem!”. Unfortunately, I had just come back from the gym before we left, and sushi is not the most cost effective food in such a situation. As it turned out, I ate four times the dollar amount Amanda did. I probably drank four times the amount of sake as well. Slurp. We stopped by Madison Park Beach before heading back home.
Sunday, we met up with Ann and Mike from our parenting group. Larry and Martha also came over; they were originally going to go to a Cornell alumni event, but then decided to hang out with us. We basically just walked about the shores of Lake Washington and looked at the Seafair happenings. We also took in the last Blue Angels show; the area a bit south of Lakewood Marina is a great place the watch them… better than I90.
Monday, Lonan Kai had his first day of daycare. We are doing half days this week to get him used to the new place. Amanda and I took the opportunity to run a lot of errands… mainly down south in Tukwila visiting IKEA and Target and the like.
Tuesday, I spent much time organizing the office. Since I had been watching LK it had turned into a dumping ground of papers and miscellaneous crap. I also did a bunch of rewiring. We also did mega amounts of cleaning. Like bleaching the floor of the garage where Armando has been ensconced.
Wednesday, we hosted the parenting group again. There was more cleaning beforehand. We had a speaker on baby sign language, but she had problems finding our house. She as also way to infomercial-like, so I personally would not be inclined to buy anything from her or take her classes.
Today, Amanda tried to take Armando to the vet to get tested for feline leukemia, but mysteriously they have started only taking appointments instead of being first-come first-served. She is now having lunch with Carrie. I am working on taxes yet again in the newly organized office. The afternoon will bring more taxes, the gym, and some serious worm bin maintenance.
