The Bees Who Stayed Busy
The poop truck! At least, that’s what Adam and I call it!
The septic tank guys finally came out to the house today and fixed the problem
that was previously forcing us to use our imaginations when it came to finding
a restroom. Adam and I almost went to the Pilot gas station for a shower today,
but thankfully, the boys showed up in their tanker truck and saved us from that
dreaded nearly-first experience just in the knick of time. The bathrooms are
working at 100% now, and we’re a bunch of happy people because of it.
Adam and I haven’t stopped for a break since coming to
Washington. We’ve got a lot of people to see and not a lot of time to do it.
So, our days have become one cram-packed 24-hour period after another. And
today wasn’t any different. We left Seattle at 11 this morning and drove an
hour and a half south to Olympia. We quickly got ready (and enjoyed a shower at
home!) and left for Tacoma 45 minutes
later. There, we met one of our favorite people: Joe!! Adam hasn’t seen his
agent since Spring Training, so he was excited to catch up. I was too! Joe is a
wonderful man and someone we both trust immensely. When he found out Adam and I
were in Washington, he booked a flight to come out and see us, along with some
of his other clients. He represents quite a few professional baseball players
and has a young family of his own, so getting a chance to sit down with him,
face-to-face is always time well spent. The phone has been the primary way of
communication this past season and it works perfectly fine, but this change of
pace was much anticipated and greatly appreciated. Adam snagged quite the agent
two years ago. We’re so thankful for all that Joe (and CAA, his agency) has
done and continues to do for him and his career.
We left Joe and Tacoma, drove back to Olympia, picked up a
prescription, and headed straight to dinner with Katy and Bob at 5:30. For the
second night in a row, we ate at Hearthfire Grill, home of the best restaurant view in all of Olympia. Ah! I love a good sunset – especially those over the
water - and the ones in Washington never fail to impress! Overlooking the Sound,
the sunset, and the wildlife all around us, we spent a nice evening getting to
know each other.
From dinner, Bob and Katy took us swing dancing! Adam and I
weren’t the smoothest couple on the dance floor, but with Katy and Bob as our
helpers, we didn’t fare so bad! Katy and Adam were too cute dancing together.
She taught him a few things while he tried to lead her…and actually, after
dancing with her, I was impressed with what he could do! We’re loving all these
new experiences lately, and have had such
a good time here in Washington…but I will most certainly be honest: after
sleeping on a couch last night, a futon tonight, a full bed last week, and the
floor the week before that, my back is aching and desperate for my side of the
bed in Florida!! I am one exhausted girl. But my time here has been completely
worth it. Even though now, I think I’ve officially become a coffee addict. I
didn’t need it before this trip, but
as of yesterday, I realized that I cannot function past 8 o’clock without it.
Not good. Not good at all.
