L to R: Robin & Janice head in to the exhibit. |
We went to Eleta's house after viewing the exhibit and celebrated Umoja, the first of the principles of Kwanzaa. We also shared a potluck meal.
I started the day with another massage from Lorena. My shoulder has been feeling much better since she worked on it last week. Today it felt even better! I really need to find someone and start getting regular massages again.
I picked Kai up after my massage; we went to Café Makario again. This time Kai tried the Dutch Latte; I had my usual Matcha Latte but this time I had it with coconut milk.
Because we were going to have a long drive to Burien, I went to the bathroom before we left. All the storefronts in this building have a central bathroom for employees and patrons; it was a maze getting there. Getting back involved following the signs in reverse; but they didn't have a sign on their door unlike the Midnight Grocery. I recognized their door by the bench sitting nearby.
We ended the evening by meeting with Ian again; I set up to pay Kai's rent through an electronic funds transfer from my financial institution to his financial institution. But before we did that Ian had to drive a potential roommate back up to his current residence; so I had time to talk to Brianna more. I found out her birthday and Kai's are 1 day apart! And they both like video games and movies. Which makes Ian very happy since he is not really a movie buff.
While we were running around yesterday, I picked up a box of Epic meat bars. I have found that all meat bars are not created equal; some have a lot more carbs than others. It appears to be coming from whatever is used to flavor the meat bar; like cranberries and honey. This venison bar is just sea salt & pepper so it only has 2 grams of carbs; it also has 12 g of protein and 3 g of fat. And I like the taste. Sadly, I have only seen it at Target; I shall have to look at Amazon and see if I can get it for around the same price or better (~$1.60/bar). I could use it as a substitute meal on the days when it is difficult to cut out the carbs from the Maunalani lunch.
Hauʻoli lā Hānau to Aunty Jeannie & Lillian!
