Pain in the Side

Little Kat reported to the school nurse today. He complained of sharp pains in his side. The nurse thought it might be due to a virus going around. Little Kat will stay home tomorrow. If he is not doing well, Momomok will take him to the doctor.

At home Little Kat took some medicine to numb the pain. When it wore off, he was complaining of severe pain. The meds and a hot pad seemed to do him well. We never really know with Little Kat. He cries wolf often. It is suspicious that his pain flared up just when we needed him to do some work like clean the kitchen.

I am hoping Little Kat is fine tomorrow. Since he is staying home, I can pick us up some subs for lunch. There is a 2 subs, 2 fries, 2 drinks special going on at a new pizza shop. Let's hope Little Kat is well enough for the hoagies.

The Fall of PetFail

Today Little Kat and I delivered the school gerbils to Momoko's classroom. We also brought the one school goldfish. Momoko asked us to buy some additional fish for the school tank.

First we had to get some lunch. Little Kat wanted subs. We visited a sub and both got Italian subs. Little Kat got the works on it. I added selective toppings. For some reason, I was very thirsty. The all you can drink fountain soda came in handy.

Then we visited Petco to buy the goldfish. One employee was helping another customer. I found it odd that the custonmer asked for some type of frog fish, and the employee answered that the customer did not want that. WTF? The customer just asked for it. Then the employee helped another customer for what seemed forever.

When the Petco employee came to us, I showed him the goldfish we wanted. I was shocked to find he would not sell us the fish. He said our fish tank was too small. Again. WTF? The guy was arrogant, as if he was some righteous animal advocate. At first I thought this was a scam to get us to buy an expensive big fish tank.

Little Kat and I got the heck out of there. We proceeded to Pet Smart. The employee there advised us to the fish tank requirements when the fish grew to full size. Then she proceeded to sell us the fish. Guess which company will get all our follow on business? It will not be PetFail, I mean Petco. Heheh.

Freezing on the Beach

Today was the first full day of vacation. We slept in. Then we had some breakfast at Denny's. The plan was to sit out on the beach after breakfast.

Momoko decided instead for us to drive down to the boardwalk. Little Kat discovered the biggest tire in the world. It was part of Ripley's Believe it or Not. Momoko bought us some lemonade. Little Kat tried to talk us into renting a four-person bicycle. He failed.

When we got back, I called the front desk and asked us for some housekeeping to clean out room. We went out to a cold beach. It got colder when the clouds came. Momoko decided we should go to lunch. I dropped by the front desk and asked when our room would be cleaned. The guy st the desk said I had just called him, and to give it some time. Fail.

We drove up and down the strip, tring to find a new place to eat. I wanted some subs. Most of the sub shops were actually liquor stores. Others were closed or empty. We finally settled on an ice cream and sub shop. It hit the spot.

After returning to the hotel a few hours later, I found that housekeeping had still not taken care of our room. I found the dude at the front desk who I spoked to before. He made some calls. I asked him when exactly the housekeeping would be in our room. He told me 5 minutes. Finally we got some service. No tip for these slackers. I don't know who to blame first - the housekeeping or the front desk.

Boating and Working

Kit Kat and Little Kat went out with their friends on a boat. They were going to eat at some fancy restaurant by the shore. However it was a long wait. So they bought some subs and ate on the boat. Kit Kat got stung by a jellyfish or two. The team caught some crabs, but threw them back due to size.

Today is my work day. Momoko volunteered Little Kat to help me. I asked him if he was ready to work. He said no, but also that he had no choice. It was hot today. Little Kat and I took 3 or 4 water breaks. The job was to chop up a bunch of branches and bag them. This sounds a lot simpler than it is. We ended up with 4 bags of bundled branches. Good work Little Kat. We are working on manning him up.

Kit Kat is in charge of our family dinner tonight. We will get chicken parmesean, angel hair pasta, and broccoli. Delicious.
