Browse Day: September 27, 2006

Going on 31 and 27

The food tonight was awesome as expected. It’s so much fun to order Thai food with the family. You can order to your heart’s content without feeling like there’s going to be too much food. We had the works: chicken AND pork satay, catfish, curry, beef that translates to “crying tiger”, drunken noodles, fried fish cakes, and of course peanut sauce. We also got a nice surprise with the classic birthday cake from Honey Bakery. I had a fun time hanging out with the family and it was a nice way to spend my birthday eve. I also got a kick out of seeing my little brother open his gift. I’ll help you tape up the Holga on the plane, Brother. It should be fun to play with in New York!

gettin’ stuff done

The worst part of taking time off of work is all the preparation I have to do before I leave.  As a “responsible” therapist, I need to make sure that all my ducks are in a row before taking off.  So, I had a “make-up” meeting on Tuesday for the Thursday meeting that I’m going to miss.  And now, I’ll have to use the next two mornings to see as many kids as I can to make up for all the Friday kids.  Otherwise those kids will get screwed out of their weekly treatment. 

Last night I also took care of ground transportation from and to the airport.  That’s another load off.  Since we’re arriving and leaving at such weird times, asking for a ride is just messed up.  Luckily SuperShuttle is cheap and they do door-to-door.  No subway rides at 3:00 am for us! 

I should really do some laundry tonight but we have our family dinner tonight!  Yum Yum…I can’t wait for all that Thai food!Â
