With a recent surge in patient referrals from Kaiser due to a few of their retina specialists being on leave, my usual white cloud has turned into a cumulonimbus of late night surgeries. Between taking call through Labor Day weekend and keeping up with a more mobile Westley, I felt like a zombie on the cast of the Walking Dead, AMC’s compelling drama series that has now gotten me hooked into a second season. With the baby’s schedule, however, our TV-watching over dinner has been kept brief as we embarked also on new seasons of Kimmy Schmidt and F.O.B.. Melody was glad that SYTYCD survived another season as well, but this time featuring kids between age 8-13, much like Masterchef Junior. Despite not getting to do much on weekends, we made an effort to continue dining out each week, including dim sum with the in-laws at New Canton, and lunch at Selland family restaurants Obo’ and Selland’s Market. We also shopped for new guestroom furniture at West Elm, including an upholstered sleigh bed as well as nightstands and dresser. Hopefully, the stuff will arrive in time for my parents’ visit later this month.
