Sheep in the Big City, Again

Dahlia woke up at 6:30 and stood next to my face breathing. I played asleep, or played dead. So not ready to get up, kid. So not ready. She managed to get back up on the bed and quietly waited until 8. Proud of her. I got 'em breakfast, outside, walk about. And set to work. 

I headed into the office around 11. It was a remarkably easy trip, made it to the metro platform just as the train was pulling in. There were a ton of cops on the trains, the platforms, not sure what was going on in the world but things were extra security focused and a bit weird, to be honest. 

I got to the office and had a good long chat with our department head about stuff and things. The building is very quiet on Fridays, so I went into the kitchen area for the meeting I had at noon, and just had the space to myself. My colleague on Zoom and I troubleshot some things and fixed up a site for training next week so it looks nicer and doesn't have a ton of weird test content all over it. Gotta make it look freshie fresh! 

My colleague visiting DC this weekend came over to see me. They went to the zoo this morning, took their son to an office event (baby's first!), and they were going to head to their hotel to go to the pool. I asked if they would want to hang out and we could go to the brewery around the corner, and the decision was up to the kid, who really wanted to go to the pool.... Until.

He noticed I play Pokemon Go. So... we wanted to become Pokemon Friends, trade gifts, and battle so yes. To the Brewery! 

We had a really nice visit, except that my phone wasn't behaving nicely due to being in the concrete building. I bought 2 4-packs of beer from this brewery, they don't sell in our local store so always grab1 Schlepping it home is usually a pain but I was ready for it! 

The walk back to the house was a little brutal with the heat but I made it without having to stop and die along the way. Go me. 

I got home and worked a bit more and Doug made dinner. We had a big piece of left over salmon so he cheffed up some kind of a curry, and put it over couscous, which was great. Absolutely great. 

Around 7pm I was wiped out enough to go take a rest that turned into a nap, which was nice.

It's kind of fun going to the city.
