Our weekend

I don't have any photos from Friday evening, but it was pretty darn great. I felt better than I had in a month, so I made a batch of muffins AND dinner. Then we took an evening bike ride to the drug store to rent a movie. This was the first movie rental in months... years?

But, we both stayed up too late with the movie, and I felt pretty yucky for a lot of Saturday. So, Stace took Cora for a bit, and they went to Hart Park to feed the animals. They took with them Skippy, the Pioneer Clubs Skippers' mascot/class pet. Cora was lucky enough to get Skippy to take home for the week, so she and Stace thought he might enjoy seeing the animals. (You're supposed to take photos with Skippy, and write up his activities in the Skippy Journal.)

Later in the day, we ran some errands.

We got a new web camera at Best Buy, air conditioner filter at Orchard Supply Hardware, and then checked out Trader Joes' in the their new location, next to the aforementioned shops. TJ's is in a much bigger spot now, and it was nice to meander the wider aisles. Cora was our little helper, as you can see from the photos. She loved pushing the mini cart, and was a very good girl for all our errands.

And, she used the toilet in all three stores! It was kind of funny, we were gone maybe two hours total but she needed to wee three times. The potty training is now going very well, and I think we'll be switching to her new regular panties from her trainers very soon. Maybe it's helped that we've been home so much the last month, with me not feeling well.

On Sunday, we went to church for the first time in a while, and in the evening we enjoyed the pool. We're getting another crazy heat wave so we might as well take advantage of the pool. Unfortunately, since we haven't been much lately, Cora has regressed in her swimming skills and confidence. She's much more scared than she was in June or July, and won't do many of the skills she learned at her June class.

But she did, at least, get in her boat again. See here for the last time she had been in it!
