Spiderweb of Flourish
Aug. 28th, 2025 09:57 pmHoly smokes, I am tired. I got 10,500 steps, mostly in the house, except for the ones expended going to the grocery store. Oh, and the doctor's office, where the PA thought my blood pressure was just fine. The Philosopher and family arrived in good shape, though a little later than expected. This was great for me, because it gave me more time to finish cooking and do a little cleanup. The Sparrowhawk has performed wonders with vacuuming etc. When I got home from the grocery store, he said he was "perishing" and had to go take a nap. I don't think he got much sleep, but enough to get him through the evening.
Aquinas has become amazingly big and vocal, and what he likes best is going up and down stairs, opening and closing doors, and turning appliances on and off. I cooked brisket, potato/sweet potato/carrot mix roasted with a little bacon fat, chickpeas with linguini instead of egg noodles because Aquinas is allergic to eggs, and a salad thing from the NYT cooking page, with tomatoes, avocados, cilantro, lime, bacon bits, and sweet corn scraped off the cob. We've run the dishwasher twice, and only a few things are still soaking in the sink.
Aquinas and family headed for their hotel via a CVS for some allergy meds, but returned hastily due to a massive diaper emergency that required extensive cleanup. I guess they didn't care to check in to their hotel in this state and preferred to return to Grandmom and Grandad's residence of all modern conveniences. We always happy when we can be useful.
