A very floaty, giddy Kate rode with me back to her truck at the Hair Salon, then climbed in the green Tundra and drove off for her final night of full time medicine.\u00a0 This is one happy chippy.\u00a0 Fun to see her so excited.<\/p>\n
Before that we went out to lunch at a favorite spot, a sushi place on old Hwy. 10, Takaido.\u00a0 Not sure what the deal is, but the inside of the place offered little more than shelter against the wind.\u00a0 It was cold.\u00a0 I wanted sushi, but couldn’t imagine it in that chilly a space so I got salmon teryiaki with kani in bento box.\u00a0 The hot tea warmed my hands and the restaurant slowly warmed to bearable.\u00a0 They took over a fast food building and the outer walls around the dining area are glass and thin masonry.\u00a0 Brrrr.<\/p>\n
The Spectacle Shoppe called and said our glasses had come in, that’s why we were in that part of town.\u00a0 This place has a really interesting collection of frames.\u00a0 The owner has a quirky aesthetic, one that I like and so does Kate.\u00a0 We’ve bought our last several pairs of glasses there, utilizing left over money in our flex-med account.\u00a0 This is a big source of business for these folks; they even have a $75 off deal for folks using up their flex dollars.<\/p>\n
All of Kate’s glasses were done; she had new lenses put in old pairs and bought a pair of new prescription sunglasses.\u00a0 Aha.\u00a0 She can see faraway now.\u00a0 Good for driving.\u00a0 My reading glasses were done, but new tortoise shell round frames were still waiting on their lenses.\u00a0 I’ll have to go after we get back from vacation.<\/p>\n
As to vacation.\u00a0 In spite of the fact that we’re going to Denver, I find myself in an oddly sedentary mode.\u00a0 Wish I could just flash there and flash back, not go through the whole airport rigmarole.\u00a0 Why I like the train.\u00a0 But, the timing on this one ruled out the train.l<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
