Friday was Ramy's last day at the Norwalk office. He wanted to let his colleagues and office and court staffs see her one more time, so Rebecca and I met him at his office and spent a couple of hours there with him. Friday afternoon, we took Rebecca to Toys R Us and bought her some new toys. We got some big soft blocks and pool toys. Then, we went to the pool and enjoyed the cool water (it was 103°!). That evening, we met up with Maddy, Paul, their girls, and Vincent for dinner in Pasadena. Rebecca had a wonderful time! She wanted to make friends with a little boy who was at the bakery area. Also, she was quite impressed with Rachel (age 6). She wanted to touch Rachel's hair, her hands, her clothes, you name it. She was less interested in Ashley (age 3), but she still enjoyed playing with them.
Saturday, I went to my friend Julie's baby shower in Apple Valley. By the way, Apple Valley is in the middle of the high desert. Waaayyyyyy out in the middle of a vast wasteland. Why anyone would want to live there, I have no idea. There's no grass, except on golf courses! But anyway, the baby shower was very nice, and I'm looking forward to Julie's little girl being here. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Rebecca hung out with Ramy all day. They signed a contract for the work we're having done in the back yard. That night, we went shopping and I got to pick out the new work tote I'd been wanting for my birthday. I got exactly what I wanted - a blue leather semi-structured bag that is big enough to hold all my files and testing materials but that doesn't look too briefcasy. Ramy said that the bag looked like me because of the blue color. Then when I get back from Tennessee, I get a trip to the Jewelry District. Woo hoo! Happy 30th birthday to me!
Sunday, we went to mass at 7:30 (I'm pretty impressed with us making it to early mass every week lately!). Rebecca was a very good girl during mass. Ramy went to visit his dad yesterday afternoon. I did a bunch of laundry and started organizing things to take to Tennessee with us this week. I cleaned out the refrigerator and gave the kitchen a good deep cleaning. We watched No Country for Old Men...actually, Ramy watched it and I mostly ignored it while I did other stuff.
Today, Rebecca and I met my friend Julie for lunch at Panera Bread. Then I had a meeting with Julie (who was the other therapist at Chaffey College this year) and our Chaffey supervisor to give our feedback about the site and the Chaffey experience as a whole and to talk about our evaluations. I was pleasantly surprised about my evaluation from her. She rated me as above average on everything and wrote really nice comments about me. Interestingly, she wanted us to give her the site/supervisor evaluations that we are supposed to turn in to our DCT about each of our sites. I think she knew we might have negative things to say about her. I just told her that I'd already given mine to Dr. Vermeersch, as we are supposed to do, but that I'd be happy to talk to her about what I'd written. Then I just bullshitted my way through it. Whatever, I'm just glad to be done with her. Crazy.
