Vaccine one done!

By

Hip hip hooray! I got my first vaccine shot on Saturday! (hey, that rhymes!)

I went back to Lumen Field to get my shot and just as I had observed, the process ran very smoothly. The longest I had to wait was just to get in the building, but mainly that was because I brought my purse with me and so stood in the security line to get my bag checked. The guy checking was SO SLOW, asking everyone to take things out of their bags etc. After that, it was super smooth sailing. The volunteer checking me in was very friendly and said she saw that I had volunteered recently and so thanked me for my service. Then, it was a quick jab in the arm and we were done. With the observation time, I think I was in and out within 20 minutes.

Since it was the first sunny Saturday in a long time, afterwards we grabbed sandwiches at a nearby Carribean sandwich shop that had great patio seating and then walked across the street to get a free Krispy Kreme donut! It was a really good morning! 

My arm felt super sore the evening and the next day, but then it went away and everything is feeling fine!

Japan trip

By
We got back from Japan about a week ago and we're still talking about what a great trip it was!  Japan has never been super high on my places to visit but for a lot of reasons (I've never been, it's clean, it's safe, it's different) we took the plunge and booked it as our summer vacation this year. It helped that our friends, the Wongs, went last year, raved about it and loved it so much they were going again and we were able to coordinate so that some of our trip overlapped with theirs. It helped even more that the yen is at a 10-year low (maybe all time low?) against the dollar, which, aside from airfare, made everything quite affordable.  Look how low the yen is! We lucked out that it kept falling after we booked our tix in Dec. Since this was our first big overseas trip since COVID and with kids (or, lets face it, SINCE kids), I dove into prepping for our trip - including trying to keep up my Duolingo streak of learning Japanese for at least a few minutes everyd

Family time

By
I had to do a quick trip to LA towards the end of July to say goodbye to my Uncle Pang, who passed away a few weeks earlier. I have fond memories of fun cousin time at his house in Palos Verdes and Uncle Pang taking us to the beach when we were younger. I remember how he delighted in making us kids squeal with laughter by pretending the car ride was a rolleroaster - we'd take sharp turns and all of us kids would slide to one side of his Volvo station wagon or he'd slow the car down to a roll and we'd all chant that we couldn't let the car stop and it would inch slowly forward at a stoplight.  Although it was a sad reason to get together, I think he would be happy to know that the weekend was also a wonderful get together with family. Because it was fairly last minute, none of the kids flew over which meant us "adult cousins" were able to have long talks and linger over food. Kin and Meredith were able to host a summertime bbq at their house and we had a nice t

Glasses

By
Nora got glasses! Now all of us in the family are four-eyes, haha. Her prescription is low but she was super excited about getting these. When she is older and hates glasses, I'll have to remind her how happy she was to get these!
