Clubs, Soul, and Procedure


News flash! We have converted Julia to be a lamb-eating lover! And why not? It is so good. Thankful for another productive week and many interactions with Julia. She has set her schedule for the fall and it includes a climate change course and her official delve into the major, Atmospheric Science (think, meteorology). Julia had an active weekend with her various green clubs and Green Engineering Scholars relay race. What a cutie Stephanie is. Julia also produced an entertaining computer-programmed train video. Steven and I went to a Christian Science church in Fairfax and to Holy Trinity on Saturday; feeding the soul doesn't have to be from a specific denomination. Steven tried a new procedure for his migraines. Dr. Macedo injected lidocaine up into his nasal cavities for the purpose of an extended numbing of the inflamed nerve causing pain. It was a bit uncomfortable (check out the picture!), but Steven said he will probably try it again.

Migraine, Midterm, and Meat

Julia had a painful week--literally. She was plagued by a terrible migraine and couldn't be seen quick enough at Health Services (caffeine and ibuprofen took the edge off in time for a midterm exam). She's also been having some stress headaches here and there. We can't wait to get her home and to an appointment with Dr. Macedo (the best!) at Washington Medical Group. Don't worry, the pain didn't stop her from having fun this week. 
On Friday, Julia went to the Magic Man concert. And, I'm sure you tuned in for the "Alt Expose with Ruth and Rose" show on Saturday, 5 p.m. It was followed by the big, Black Out concert at the Union. Julia was part of the entertainment on the stage between band sets. 
Our Wagshal's hauls are getting bigger...cannot help the meat addiction. It is so good. The problem is that in our effort to try new things, we like them so much that they get added to the permanent weekly list. For example, the spicy lamb sausage is now a must-have. The prime roast beef, we cannot live without. Their Amish bacon, rotisserie chicken, and pears...yummy. New this week--Kosher salami, German liverwurst, and London broil. It is too hard to pick a favorite, but so appreciative of having a quality butcher and delicatessen in our neighborhood.




On extra cold days, this is where Quiet parked himself.
