Really enjoyed the day. I'd anticipated a day sleeping in, however…. "Alexa" seemingly overheard me telling Jen last night that instead of using my phone as a bedside alarm I may just setup the echo device to wake me up at 6am. We were talking about reducing tech, I wasn't intending to set an alarm. But… I apparently did. I did manage to get back to sleep and then Lauren and I went to talk to Stanford Blood Clinic about donating. Her idea, love it, going to do so as well. We got answers to our questions, went to Boudin with the dog for a nice breakfast, and ended up going back to get Lauren doing her 1st donation. After about 1hr or so of waiting, though, they met with and assessed her and she was found to be, get this, 1lb too light. She's 1lb below minimum weight for her height to donate. So we went to Baskin Robbins. Seriously. After which we hung out at the house until 5, picked up Deegan, had a massive feed at Black Angus, and took off to take them to go roller skating. But the timing was dicey so we switched to Ice. Only to get there and find no public skating today. We returned to Matson, Jen/I walked the dog then we watched "Greta", a creepy thriller recommenced by Deegan. Tommy called from Tahoe to check in and he's having fun but sounded exhausted.
