Last, Last Weekend

It was a pretty quiet weekend around the house. Friday night we tried a new-to-us neighborhood sushi place. So far, it's our favorite of the places close-by. Obviously run by a family and the chef had amazing attention to detail.

Saturday morning we ran errands which included taking Bentley to the vet. He's got another ear infection. I tried a new vet since the one I had been seeing was very expensive. The new vet didn't end up being any cheaper, but I liked her "bedside manner" better. She told me that his ear infection is probably due to his allergies. So we gave him a steroid shot to help with the allergies and have him on ear drops to clear up the infection. She's also having me try benadryl on a daily basis to see if that keeps his allergies in check. (I think Kristen tried this years ago without much improvement, but I can't remember.)

Saturday afternoon Jennifer came over and we sewed! I've been itching to make stuff recently and finally made some time to do it. She made a bag to carry around school papers. I made a bag to carry my lunch to work. She bought new and very beautiful fabric. I used some crazy and maybe not-so-beautiful fabric that I've had since college.

Saturday night we were supposed to meet friends for a drink, but I wasn't feeling particularly well (generally tired with a headache). So we just laid on the couch all night. And watched the gigantic new TV! I keep meaning to mention that we got a giant TV, but I can't get away from it long enough to actually blog about. Yes, it's awesome. Yes, all I do now is watch TV and play video games. This is what the living room looks like now. It's a bit cramped but you hardly notice once you sit down and start watching. In fact it's hard to notice anything else when the TV is on.

Sunday afternoon we went for a bike ride. I also made awesome Vietnamese-inspired shrimp sandwiches. I talked with the family. I finished up my lunch bag.
