A Slow Fast Month

Slow in news, but fast moving month. Every day ends up feeling very busy, probably because this homework business has been so consuming to us. haha. The whole family more or less sits around every night and waits for Christian to finish his homework before we watch either Jeopardy or Alone, the survivor show on Hulu....


Bday celebration for Claira at the Rock Gym in Kennewick

Bday celebration for AJ in her backyard in some nice sunny weather for late in September

Discovering shuffleboard at MOD pizza by the mall

I've Post-It'd quite a few recipes in "A Good Bake" and started making them. So far I like all of the items a lot! These are cardamom cinnamon rolls. Kind of work-intensive (lots of rising periods) but not too bad.

Olin's lovely ombre'd embroidery. I can exactly see his penmanship.

Booster! Dae and I got our Pfizer boosters at Walgreen's this past week

Very exciting package arrived in the form of one iFit magnet for completing September's challenge. Basically you complete, for example, 12 workouts in a series in a month and you get to choose a magnet. It's surprisingly compelling!

Went up immediately

Great photo evidence of Dae's (over)reaction to any kind of vaccine. Dae was convinced he was having chills and emerged wearing these Christmas PJ's (have not seen him wear these Christmas PJ's except for one time at my work Christmas party) and sweatshirt. He had also taken a prophylactic Aleve. I was fine, no Aleve. Last week, he came home and goes "oh my arm is so sore - I got the flu shot today!" and I was like "weird, I got the flu shot today too and I'm totally fine".... He also said Sung slept the entire day after his booster so we determined it must be something weird about his family and overreaction to things. hahaha.

Christian was asking me how to Save, how to open saved files, and how to print images since he hasn't spent lots of time on the computer, especially for documents. He didn't need much guidance at all though and I was quite proud that he completed this computer project mostly start to finish on his own over a couple of nights. He is committed to excellence in his work, that's for sure. The top hog is cute!

More baked goods from A Good Bake. These muffins were really good and chock-full of flaxseed meal, like 2.5 cups!


I finally forced myself to go line by line through page 6 of Liebestraum and am close to playing this piece start to finish (Liebestraum). Actually the last page isn't even the hardest. I just got held up on the fast notes on page 5 and another fast notes section on an earlier page. 


Current Covid tidbits: 

  • Kids are still fully masked in school. I think at this point they've been masked for 1.5 years
  • Washington State issued a vaccine mandate for all government, school and health employees by October 18 or they lose their job. Unless they can claim religious or medical exemption, which is determined by their employer. Lots of outrage over this, especially on the east side!
  • Nationwide 55% vaccinated but I think that's including those that don't qualify yet (kids)
  • Housing market in Richland is crazy (high)
  • Kids aged 5-11 vaccine looking at approval in October
