What a week, and I’m not ready for the next week to begin.

As I said in my last entry, last week was quite busy. Between the pace at work really heating up and takaza recuperating from surgery, that didn’t leave much time for luxuries like Livejournal entries. This coming week should improve somewhat, at least on the latter front.

Dan has recovered well from his sinus surgery. His sense of smell is coming back, he can breathe much more freely, and life is good except for the occasional Waterpik torture (let’s put it this way, you have to have some way to flush all the clots and stuff out. Ouch). He’ll be at home one more week to fully recover and relax, though if absolutely necessary he could have gone back this week. Better he recover fully, though, I say, and so does the doctor.

This weekend has been pretty busy. Following Dan’s trip to the doctor on Friday, we hit Target, Build-a-Bear (had to get a graduation present for someone) and World Market for some kitchen items. On Saturday, following a surprisingly early wake-up for us both, we really hit the shopping trail: Grand Asia Market for some good jalapenos and cilantro and some tasty Japanese soda for Dan, United Restaurant Supply for some obscure kitchen items (gotta have that 20-quart brining bucket), the State Farmers Market for fresh tomatoes and apples (and, surprisingly, some excellent local goat cheese), Sam’s Club for those household staples, purchased by the pallet full, Barbeques Galore to pick up a little item that we’re going to have fun with at our Memorial Day party, and finally Whole Foods Market to top up our spice rack. Whew! To top things off, we came home and Dan whipped up some delicious homemade pizzas that we shared with Donald and Janelle.

Today we enjoyed the usual lazy Sunday morning (coffee and newspaper, oh yeah), then went out to see Spider-man (yay Sam Raimi!), then joined Donald and Janelle again for steaks on the grill at their place. A lovely day, all in all.

Well, that’s enough recap – off to bed, now!
