FORTY-THREE

Some leftover State Fair photos

2025 week forty-three

My friend (and work twin) Deborah and I went to the opera to see Carmen. It was really fun! 

Matt and I went to see Oddisea in Deep Ellum on Monday. We played a round of pool with another couple there which was fun. 

The new warp is up and running. 

One day this week I accidentally cosplayed quite convincingly as Evie O'Connell from The Mummy. 

Theo's spooky cake for scouts. V made the cake and frosting all by herself and Theo and I helped with the decorating. It was meant to be the Demogorgon face but ended up looking more like an evil starfish. 

Friday night was the Fall Fun Fair at school. About 10 minutes before the end, V came up to me with a double bloody nose. She was pretty nonchalant about it. I finished cleaning up while she went off to find her friends and chop wood... Well once we were home about an hour later, she looked at me and I could see that her nose was completely crooked! So we went off to urgent care for some scans. Sure enough her nose is broken. Apparently she was in the bounce house obstacle course, fell, completely lost her shorts (like they fell off and landed to the side of her!), as she was putting them back on, her friend plowed through the area and knocked her in the nose. V sat down from the pain and then crawled out with a double bloody nose while sobbing. I can only imagine she looked a sight clawing her way out with a streaming bloody face. When she was telling me this story she was very cheerful about the adventure it all was. 

Sunday morning barmbrack breakfast. Theo got the coin (riches), V got the matchstick (contention), Matt got the ring (love) , and I got the bean (poverty). 

Quotes:

"These stupid animals!" What you say when you're trying to eat your fresh homemade Italian strudel but the turkey, chickens, and dog also want some. Very relatable situation. 

"When I saw the sauerkraut I saw it said cabbage and water. At first I thought it said garbage water. But really, what's the difference?" -Theo

Me- "STOP DOING PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM AND GET READY FOR SOFTBALL!"

Doctor- "What is your pain level on a scale of 0-10."

V- "Uhm...6...7..."

V- "My pants came off in the bounce house, I popped off two brackets and broke my nose! It's been a wild night!"
