Lunch/din-din was at favorite Chinese buffet, "girlfriend" not there man.  Sad to hear this.

We consumed Many (2+2) -- si man, Many (2+2) -- plates heaped mostly with beef, ingest we man.

If it was "beef with broccoli," we ignored the last 2 words of it, focused we man.

Probably not a good idea to shock your system with healthy foods.

 

On Mama T-B.'s orders, we hit 2 dollar stores in search of her items, always fruitless man.

Got back to casa tired & sweating, soupy atmosphere man.

Why do old people keep their casas at Many (2x2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2) degrees in summer (or winter) when they're not paying electric bills, huh man?   The perfect temperature!

 

We were sweat-drenched simply delivering that stuff, waste of shower man.

 

Mama T-B. yelled at us about several things, obviously recovering senior she man.  When my mother stops complaining I'll know something is wrong.

 

Returned to casa a soaking mess, good grief man.

Front & back yards mostly in shadow, time to mow man.

During this process, neighbor's dog came through busted fence to poop again, chase it off we man.  Great fertilizer.  Watch where you step.

2 naturalization interviews yesterday! And we were blissfully unaware that the area near the USCIS field office was struck by tornadoes the evening before - we just noticed in our area it rained heavily. Ignorance is bliss in this case

Took the train to the interview, so we were glad it not only not rain but also was unseasonably cool at least in the morning (by the time I left my interview - we were scheduled 2 hours apart - it was bright and sunny, so I was sweating more, but it's nice to see the blue sky nonetheless).

Many bottles of wine were bought after that.

2.  General advice, see man:  Begin (and continue) drinking immediately and heavily, hic man.

Celebration! Though we are still awaiting our oath ceremonies to be scheduled (doing legal name change so no option for same-day oath), and after that... we'll probably need to drink when dealing with getting all our paperwork adjusted. Passport, SSN, then all the bank accounts, credit cards, insurances ... driver license, car registrations, oy vey.

 

Now I feel like I need another drink.

Done! I updated my relevant posts yesterday but forgot to do the timeline until earlier today
