Comiket 2015 Trip Report
Aug. 28th, 2015 11:23 amIt has been a very busy few weeks around here. The action started when my parents arrived for a visit the evening of August 5. The next day, they immediately set about finding odd jobs to do around the house and yard to keep themselves busy while I was at work. For example, my dad installed the custom kitchen tiles I had ordered back when I did my kitchen renovation; they really boost the elegance of the whole room. He also did a lot of work in the back yard, clearing weeds and branches to make room for the new fence.
The evening of August 7, we had a game night with the neighbors and their friends. I made a whole meal using things harvested from my garden (potatoes and pickles in potato salad, tomatoes and parsnips in soup, and mixed berry compote for dessert). It was fun, but then I had to get up early the next morning for work, so I didn't get much sleep.
On Saturday, August 8, after finishing my shift at work, I came back home to pack for a two-week trip to Japan. My parents and I would be joining![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mangaroo, sara_tanaquil, and wednesday_10_00 in Tokyo, and our flight was departing at 2am Sunday morning. A neighbor kindly drove the three of us (and all our luggage) to the airport, and our adventure began.

I had all of Saturday to recover from the trip before I starting work again on Sunday. (Benny was excited to be back on the job again!) On Monday, the workers arrived to put in my new fence. They made good progress and finished in two days. The ground isn't completely level along the length of the fence, so there are a couple areas that may need to be filled in to prevent a dog from slipping underneath, but I'm really happy about it overall. The new gates are great. Hopefully Benny will have fun running around in the yard after he retires next year.
