Old Friends

Good evening everyone. Let's get right to it! The week started a bit rough. Mia had a fever from Sunday night into Monday, which meant that the diva had to skip out of school. She woke up, sorta out of it, not realizing she was supposed to be at school. I checked the temp. Much better, but still high. She took it easy, relaxing and watching Scooby Doo (which is what I watched as a kid when I was home sick ironically) She felt better later that night when I got home from work, and the next day went to school. it was Crazy Hat Day to celebrate all things Dr Seuss. The kids had a lot of fun.

The next day, Jill (who wasn't feeling the best) chaperoned Mia's field trip to the Milwaukee Public Museum. From what they said, it was a lot of fun, but Jill was pretty miserable from her fever she had. Mia didn't care for the dino eating the other dino. Too scary.

Friday, I picked up all the Milwaukee Torrent apparel in Glendale at the owner's gym. I'm incredibly grateful he gave me the track jacket/hoody/toque/1/4 length pants, but it was he, himself that said "no thank YOU for everything you've done for us". It's really humbling to "work" for a guy and team that appreciate my work. I hope this lasts quite some time and the team really picks up steam during the season, and following season.

Saturday, I watched the Chelsea vs Stoke game. Was hoping we'd get the 3 points and win after Traore netted a sick goal, but Stoke equalized when the defense let back in the 2nd half. Terrible. GH should have never put on Remy and probably should have got Pato some minutes on the pitch for once. I know they're resting Costa for the UCL game Wednesday (which I am both nervous and excited for) but we still need to climb the table into a 4th place position. Can't draw or lose games. Later, I took her to her longtime friend Gracie's 6th birthday party. They haven't hung out since the holidays, so it was good to see her and her sister (who's closer to Mia's age). They had a lot of fun as I hung out with the other adults in the kitchen. In fact, I even was offered a Habanero beer. Very spicy in the throat like tequila, but it was pretty tasty. At one point during the party, Mia and Hannah (Gracie's sister) where just sitting at the table slowly eating the Frozen-themed cake, catching up about life and school. It was very cute. Mia told me later that she made friends with a shy girl at the party.

Later that night, we went to see Zootopia. It was Disney's latest animated movie. Let me tell you, it was better than I thought it would be. Almost too parallel with everything that's going on in the world. I won't say too much, just see it when you can. Later we had a very late "dinner" that consisted of peas and potatoes, and as Mia fell asleep, Jill and I finished season one of Fuller House.

Sunday, I did some Torrent work, and some cleaning before heading to work. This week, busy week at school for the diva, Chelsea game Wednesday (PLEASE win!) and Jill and myself will be activating our new Nexus 6P phones and getting out of US Cellular for good. Looking forward to a cheaper bill and a new service that hopefully will be solid. The weather is supposed to improve this week, so cheers to that! Thanks for reading!
