my 10,000th day

My 10,000th day was pretty ordinary.

For the first time this week, construction workers didn't arrive at my house at 8:20 am, and so I slept in till 10. This was wonderful.

At work I helped the various summer students with their various projects.

In the evening, summer students Alice, Keenan, Sonia, and I picked up some ingredients at the Good Foods grocery store. Keenan and Korbi fixed up some delicious crepes. It turns out that Korbi is, relatively speaking, an expert in swirling the batter in the pan just-so, so that the crepes turn out even and round. We made savory crepes with mushrooms and peppers and cheeses and ham, and sweet crepes with a sweet cheese filling made with kefir and sugar, which tasted like whipped cream, and fresh strawberries.

We drove out to Lisa's house in Highland park for a party with my Armenian friends, "to celebrate Lisa's birthday, and to celebrate life." We brought some crepes. I said, "Lisa, it's my 10,000th day!" She smiled and replied enthusiastically, "It's my 9,475th!"

Turns out they are all going camping tomorrow, at some hot springs on the Kern river. I am so going!
