UK

Books

I finished A Thousand Splendid Suns a few days ago and am now about half way through The Long Walk.  Remember how I said I couldn't find The Long Walk on Kindle?  Well, it turns out that my Kindle account was set as a UK account.  As a result, I've been paying UK prices for books, which is sometimes bad and sometimes good.  Once I switched my account to US, the Kindle store's look changed on my Kindle, the best sellers list changed, and the titles available to me changed. 

This isn't the first time Amazon has thought my account is a UK account.  No matter how many times I set my default address correctly, it often thinks my address is D's brother in London.  So weird. 

Typical Day

It was another typical day here: pool, nap, beach, dinner, bed.  Avery napped about 1.5 hours today, which is about what she usually naps at home.  Part of me expects her to nap longer since she's outside and getting so much fresh air, but I guess it's not to be.  She thankfully asked to go to bed at 7 tonight, though ultimately didn't fall asleep until about 7:50; it was an easy 50 minutes for me, though, so a thumbs up nighttime routine from me.  She also downed 20 oz of milk right before bed.  Yes, I let her do it.  She ate fairly well at dinner and wanted another glass of milk, so I let her have it.  Then she barely went potty before bed.  I'm debating whether I should wake her up to go potty before I go to sleep.  I've never done that and it's always been fine, but 20 oz is a lot.

Farmers Market

Tomorrow is market day.  We're heading off to see it, though I'm not sure how much produce we'll be able to get this time of year.  It'll be interested for Mom and Christie to see even if we don't buy anything.

Chef

Mom and I are having Chef Felipe come about during our solo week here (solo meaning sans Christie & Henry).  The menu requested is:

Appetizer - brie cheese pitas
First plate - green bean saute
Main plate - shrimp & scallops with Mexican spices
Desserts - flan

I believe we'll have this on Tuesday night, which is the day Christie leaves.  That's a good way to ease me into cooking since Christie is doing the bulk of the cooking (which she swears she likes, so who am I to question that.  I don't want to call her a liar, nor do I wish to deprive her of pleasure).
