The rest of the weekend was quite lovely. I’m still more behind at work that I’d like, but I’m trying to be okay with it. My grades aren’t due until after the Thanksgiving break, so I have some time.
Saturday I went to the dojo for General and Sparring. There we’re only four is there for the General class and I got some one-on-one instruction about new blue belt techniques that I still don’t feel super comfortable doing. Sparring was fun. I ran that class for the first time and my efforts were recognized.
When I got home everyone was out so I cleaned up and did some laundry. In the afternoon my daughter and I went to watch her two friends play an important volleyball game. Their team won and will go on yo the Championships on Thursday!
We went to our friends house afterward to hang out. The moms watched the Warriors game (not a great one) and the girls hung out doing whatever 8th grade girls do nowadays. We headed home pretty early because my husband had been stuck with our son all day and he wasn’t feeling great.
Sunday I made pancakes. Pumpkin pancakes. So many pumpkin pancakes. My son doesn’t like many foods that pack easily as lunches, so every few weeks I make two boxes worth of pancakes and freeze most of them. Sunday was that day. I do love TJ’s pumpkin pancake mix. I ate a lot of pancakes, as did everyone else.
My son and I walked the 13yo to a birthday party. When we got home we left to run and bike ride on the Great Highway. It was a beautiful day and I’m so glad we made it out there.
It was not my best run, but I loved being out with my son and the weather was beautiful. He hasn’t been on his bike and had a great time.
In the evening the kids and I saw The Marvels. I couldn’t find my Goose shirt and I was pretty pissed about that, but I loved the movie. I love Captain Marvel and the Ms. Marvel series too, so it was awesome to see them on the big screen together. And of course Goose stole the show.
I have one (or more!) things every day after school this week, starting with a vet visit for both cats tomorrow. Please think of me at 4pm PST time tomorrow. There is no way or can go well. 🤣
What a good and active weekend. Good for you! Also great pictures. It was gorgeous out. Yes, next week has a 4 day weekend for you but I know it will also be jam packed with family and activities. Best of luck re the vet!
Actually we get the whole week off, so it’s a 9 day weekend! Woot!
The weather really does look so glorious! What a nice day to be outside.
Thinking of you and the cats and hoping all is as well as possible.
I also made pumpkin pancakes on Sunday!!!
Your run/bike ride looks incredible. What a beautiful day, and beautiful location. And. good luck at the vet. Yes, there’s no way taking two cats to the vet can go well, unfortunately- they’ll hate every second of it. I hope you all survive the ordeal!
What a fun weekend with fun and good food. The run on the Great Highway looks amazing 🙂
