I woke up this morning and Dad was much more responsive than he was yesterday. It probably helped that it was after 7:00 when I called for him. We hung out in my room for a while and then got dressed and went downstairs. We cooked an egg (of course) and then went to buy groceries. Our first stop was Stanley’s, which is becoming a regular part of our weekly outing. It’s totally crazy and not that much fun, but they have lots of cheap fruits and veggies! Then we went to Whole Foods and then to get an estimate to repair our car. Mom was very excited when we got home. Soon after we got in, I got to meet Aunt Claire’s friend, Jake!
I helped Dad cook some food for me and then Mom, Aunt Claire, Jake, and I went shopping. We met up with Dad for lunch at Mac’s, a local joint that we’ve managed never to go to. It was fine, but not amazing. I don’t think we’ll be back. By the time we got home I was fussy from exhaustion — I’m supposed to nap before 1:30, people! I slept for a couple hours and then got up and helped Dad cook a bunch of food for me, including root veggie, Oochey Burgers, and Pea Burgers. I also got to help pack a box to send to my first cousin, once-removed, Nicholas.
Mom and Dad went off to some party and I stayed home with Aunt Claire and Jake. I refused to eat dinner. Aunt Claire handled it pretty well and got me to eat yogurt before putting me to bed.
A year ago I was only 18 pounds!
