Paid vacation
I took the day off. I got my mammogram, which should have been annual but hasn’t been (hush!). I already know I’m going to get called back, but the breast surgeon said that it was highly unlikely to be cancer. The way the system works, I’m going to get the official phone call in about a month or two, and then I’ll go back and have it biopsied and (hopefully) get the all-clear (until next year). On the way home, I stopped at a secondhand store to see if I could find stuff for Tiny Vader. I didn’t, but I saw an actual Petite Blythe doll for the first time, and now I understand why it took so many tries (and I essentially ended up drafting a new pattern) to make jeans for Tiny Vader. Those things have gigantic heads and stick arms and legs! They’re still cute, though.

The Pumpkin Daddy said he wanted to go to
this new steak chain. I got the fleet and the Pumpkin Daddy got the sirloin. They were…all right. Nothing to write home about. I think I like Korean barbecue
better than steak. Used to be the other way around. Maybe this change in
preference is age-associated?
Then the Pumpkin Daddy decided he wanted us to go to the
pet store and then to Costco and then Starbucks. I’d been thinking of doing
stuff with Tiny Storm Trooper and Darth Vader, but then I thought it was kind
of sweet that he wanted me to hang out with him even after all these years, and
decided to play with dolls another day. We ooohed and ahhed at kittens and
puppies. The Pumpkin Daddy wants a puppy or a kitten. I think it’s a mid-life
crisis, and he misses having cute babies who think he is the coolest dad in the
whole universe. We went to Costco and bought coffee and bacon and butter and
mixed nuts and a plastic storage container. We ran out of time to hit Starbucks
and ended up getting coffee at 7-eleven, which is all right. I’m addicted to
their new lattes. They cost less than a third of a Starbucks latte, but they’re
almost as good.
I went to a parents' event at the Pumpkin Princess's test prep class, and the Pumpkin Daddy cooked dinner.
Then it's back to the grind.
Then it's back to the grind.
