Ugh. Again, it feels like I’m swimming against the current. And every day I get home and feel brain dead. The idea of writing here is not one I can embrace, if I even consider it.
But. But! The weekend was okay. Good even? My parents’ anniversary dinner was very much appreciated. I think they felt loved and celebrated and that was all we were hoping for. Also the food was AMAZING. We went to Nari in Japantown and did the chef’s tasting menu. The food was incredible and abundant and not even the pouring rain could put a damper on the evening.
And Saturday was that kind of day where the Tetris pieces all fit. I cleaned the house in the morning. Went to Sparring and High Belt at the dojo while my son had a friend over. Then I got home and had exactly enough time to take them for an hour of bowling before my parents came to pick me up for dinner. I LOVE when shit fits perfectly like that.
Sunday was something… but I can’t remember what. What was it? Maybe it will come to me. Oh I remember! Dinner at my parents’ house with two close family friends. That was really nice. I haven’t seen either of them in a while, so I appreciated the time with them. Oh! And my husband, son and I walked to Whole Foods just to get out in sun after being stuck inside all Saturday. We also grabbed lunch at his favorite walk-up burger spot and got snow cones on the walk back.
Monday the whole family met up with my parents and sister for a hike. We felt a little constrained in where we could hike because of all the rain last week so we settled on spot on the peninsula between their house and ours, with a paved path. It was a nice walk, with some good views and everyone enjoyed it.
The forecast last Friday didn’t show a single “partly cloudy” icon for 10 days, it was all clouds and rain, but we’ve been getting some nice sun. I’m glad because my sister always craves it when she visits in January – London is pretty dark and damp this time of year.
I have more to say, but it’s Thursday and I have no prep and it’s going to be a doozy. So I must sign off. Hopefully this weekend I can write more. If not I’ll see you next week.
You make it sound so easy and delightful. That takes a LOT of organizational skill to pull off. I am impressed. And really appreciated the pictures!
Is your neighborhood/your family going to be impacted by this new ‘crosswalk/no parking for 20 feet’ law? What about teacher parking near your place of work. Do you have any idea where all the street parking cars are to go? It is supposed to be state wide………. And not in the scope of your blog really. Sorry.
Hope the rainy weekend lets you focus on setting up for the next few weeks but also lets you get out to be active during less wet periods.
So glad you had a good time with your parents 🙂
