We celebrated Matt's birthday on Sunday with dinner at Zio's - Matt's choice. We enjoyed good pizza with my family (Mom, Dad, Sarah, Jim and my Grandma). Then we came back here for some birthday carrot cake. In general, it was a pretty low-key birthday. Matt liked the Scheell's gift card that I gave him.
Matt's parents confirmed that they will be visiting this weekend. We will have my mom's birthday party on Friday night and then entertaining for the weekend. Luckily, Matt's parents don't require much entertainment, but it will still be a busy weekend for us. I think we are going to head to the farmer's market on Saturday morning, possibly lunch at Jimmy John's (which Matt's dad informed us one time he really likes) and then dinner at our house with the item we purchase at the farmer's market (sweet corn, green beans, tomatoes) featured on the menu. We will likely head to Summer Kitchen or FarmHouse on Sunday as they have been to both and have mentioned many times that they like both. This works well for us as we like both as well, but hardly ever visit either one.
The last two days at work have been crazy for me. Our phone and email volume has been up significantly this week. I'm also trying to work on some travel arrangements, and finish up some other projects. Additionally, I'm moving offices (just down one office) on Thursday. Stephanie completed her move across the hallway so I am taking her old office which is closer to the front desk, next door to Mackenzie, across from Stephanie and allows our new admission counselor to be next to Kim. I came home yesterday exhausted from everything that has been going on, and I am exhausted again tonight.
Matt called while I was at work today to tell me he hurt his knee playing basketball at the gym. He was at home at the time icing it, but wanted to know if I thought he should go to have it checked out. I told him I would rather him have it checked out and find out that nothing is wrong instead of not getting it checked out and having major problems later. He went to the urgent care place not far from where we lived and came home with a knee brace, a prescription for some painkillers, and instructions to return in 4-5 days if it still hurts. X-rays did not show any major tears or anything like that, but she also said that x-ray would only indicate major problems which is why he has instructions to return if it continues to bother him. Hopefully, he just needs to stay off of it for a few days.
