A day at the beach

After a day of eating, drinking and giving thanks, we all packed up for a full day at the beach! Felix and Cassidy played in the water, filled a hole with water, sailed their boats and filled the buckets over and over. Later, all the kids (and a few adults) took a nap on the beach. Fully rested, Felix started the second shift of bucket filling with a steady focus and pace, he probably would have stayed, scooped and dumped for hours! Black Friday ended with leftovers and Ooma and Oompa's house.

Work life

While grabbing coffee today with some coworkers, we were given a friendly honk from a strange car and all agreed we didn't know the owner. But on second glance I recognized the driver as a coworker from my most recent job. She informed me that she was going to an appointment, and looking for the Kaiser medical building; the building I work in has no practicing doctors, but a few blocks away is a small clinic; running late, she was off. This seemingly unremarkable coincidence remained as such, until I recalled it to Dani over dinner: my old co-worker (from Empire) is on a health plan that I had set up when I was at Craford (back in April) and going to see a doctor/ using the insurance that my current company, Kaiser, employs/ administers. This chance encounter summarized my last six work months: a challenging time with lots of reflecting, hand wringing, and constant change that has made the year fly by.
