Soaked myself under the sun for about half an hour (or perhaps less than that). This was after I was done with my business at the SSA to get my number. Yes, I will have my own SSN to guard and to hold now. I will be able to process my driver's license, get a job, pay my SSA dues for my pension, build my credit, and if I get lucky have my identity stolen (God forbid).
The boys dropped me off. I didn't ask them to stay with me, because well government offices are the last place a hyper tot would want to be. He will get antsy and we may be deported (sick joke). I thought I'd take a couple of hours queuing, but now it was not even an hour. It was superbly fast! The husband was actually surprised I called him oh too quickly, when the little one was having so much fun at the library and apparently made friends with older kids. He loaned a VHS about airplanes, and told me he read a yellow book with woods and dogs hehehe!
While waiting, I thought I'd go get some fresh air and some sun. I was YMing with Bevs and Du, and took pics of the clouds, the pebbles, and the electric cables hahaha!!! I thought it was fun just sitting there, hearing the wind blow, and enjoying the green grass and the very blue sunny sky.
Weekends are usually MY days. I decide where to go, what to do, unless there is something urgent. So, despite the fact that we both lack sleep and the husband has to finish some work I strongly pushed to go explore the Far East corner of Metro Denver. This was hoping I could get some malunggay and banana leaves, and whatnots. They said there are lots of things I can get there. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! It was so far!
When we got there, the place looked like we're in a different planet (okay, I might be exaggerating here...). It's filthy, and I don't know how they could live with that? A supermarket? I almost gagged with the stench, but thought hey why be snooty? I eat dried fish and it stinks. Oh, it was too awful. I couldn't bring myself to enjoy that shopping spree... wah! I wish I just left right away. But I didn't want to look like an idiot going in a specialty store and not knowing what to get. I grabbed Ligo sardines, tamarind candy, fresh tamarinds, and Lucky Me noodle bowls. I thought I was going to pack some Magnolia Ice Cream and some hopia, etc... argh!
I went back to the car with the boys literally cooked. The little one fell asleep, good thing though because I really didn't want them to see what I saw inside. The husband was squinting, he got aura. Uh-oh, an impending migraine! How are we going to get home now? Lack of sleep, not too much food, and the glaring sun all gave him that. So we went home, he had some banana bread and noodles, and Tylenol before taking a nap.
As I write, it's 7:30 PM and no dinner is being prepared. I just thawed the frozen chicken wings without knowing what to do with it. Oh I am so tempted to order in, but this family has been spending way too much these past weeks... I might as well bake the chicken and see...
