Lets Go Kiddo

Gonna keep things quick and simple today.  We had Thanksgiving this past weekend and a week late because of Kiddo and her Flu on Thanksgiving itself.  The day after that, J and Kiddo went to Jing’an Temple.  Not only that, they got bagels.  Also, they found some turtles and Kiddo was happy as a clam in sand for that. The meal was good.  I corrected the mistakes made a few weeks ago in my practice run and the chicken was moist and delicious.  Skin was crisp and delicious.  Gravy was spot on.  Stuffing, which Kiddo helped prep, was beyond.  Mashed potatoes aren’t hard, as long as you use about 7 tonnes of butter and cream.  HAHA The on thing I will say and not just let the pics and videos say for me today is that I am SUPER proud of Kiddo.  Firstly, for helping prep.  Yes, she still needs some help with her knife work and cutting techniques, but she’s just starting and so slow and overly cautious that it’s more of a detriment...

I’ve bumped around a lot of cities in my life.  Way way back in the olden days of the 90s (LOL), when I was hanging out with X a lot, we’d walk and talk.  Just wonder around the neighborhoods, either his or mine, and chat.  We did the same in Madison a lot as well.  When I lived in Da Bay, I would walk, until I needed the cane as that took the wind out of my walking sails.  Before that, BV and I used to walk a lot.  I remember some of the walks in the Redwoods and just around places in Da Bay with her.  We’d also walk to groceries and there was an Indian place she knew and liked about a mile away and that was always a nice walk.  We also did Yosemite and the Bay to Breakers, so we walked often. Covid was a whole new thing.  J and I would walk.  A lot.  We’d get Kiddo out and walk.  Well, Kiddo would power around on her Scootbike.  Even nights, to burn off some of the kid energy, we’d take Kiddo out.  A short walk....

Thanksgiving has come and gone and now we are on to Xmas and all that.  The good news is that we got the tree set up this weekend, as you can see here. The bad news is; We didn’t do LegoLand or Thanksgiving this weekend. Thursday, Kiddo woke and complained of not feeling well.  It wasn’t burn out.  You could see it in her eyes and face that we was sick.  Plus, she was warm to the touch.  Not burning, but warm.  That, however, reminded us that we didn’t own a thermometer so I got on ordering that and we had it the next day.  By Friday, she was worse.  Worse to the point that we made a doctor appointment for her.  Now, let me say that we are not see a doc for everything kind of parents.  Kids get sick.  Usually, drink some water, rest for a day or two, and get back to life.  When she is sick, however, we will get medical intervention. J was also not feeling well, so we had a lazy Friday hoping everyone would rebound. ...
