Haley’s Birthday – The Party Continues
As if driver education and a concert weren’t enough to keep up busy on Saturday, Haley’s birthday party with her friends took place in the afternoon. Val and Haley did all the setup because I was away at the concert. The kids has a great time running around in the yard mostly playing the in-person version of their favorite online game, Minecraft. They played pinball, Twister, chess, and played on the Wii, and had cake and ice cream to top off the nutritious snacks they munched on all afternoon. A good time was had by all.
Band Concert
I played tuba with the West Bay Community Band at a concert at the Redwood City Portfest celebration (75th anniversary) on Saturday. Great fun!
Driver Education!
Katelyn had her first Driver Education class on Saturday the 6th. Three more sessions to go. She said it was one of the most boring and tedious experiences she’s ever had. Apparently of the 11 teenagers in the class, 4 fell asleep.
Mills Mania
The kids went to “Mills Mania” on Friday. This a carnival/dinner/movie event at the high school, a benefit for the Mills Annual Fund. The thing that was particularly remarkable about it is that they were both there unsupervised, with strict orders to not leave campus without each other. They did great, and had a wonderful time. They’d even planned on walking home together afterwards because Val and I were teaching a class, but ended up getting a ride from our friend and neighbor, Lynn.
Another shot in my thumb
I’m still dealing with the effects of my fall/broken thumb last February. I got a steroid shot in my thumb 4 weeks ago, and had it repeated on Thursday. We’re hoping to keep the tendon swelling down, to avoid surgery. Grrr.
Read-Ended
Got read-ended in stop-and-go traffic on my way to work on Tuesday. No injuries. The rear bumper on my car needs replacing and the trunk has some dents, but everything is workable for now. I’ll take it to the body shop next week.
I felt really sorry for the other driver. She was 18 years old, was driving her parents’ car, and had just gotten her license two months prior.
