After work, I met Drew and Chloe in front of Gourmet Garage, where the litto bear was clutching an empty coconut water bottle. She kept sticking her tongue in the bottle neck, hoping to catch the last little droplets--even when there were none left. Without her notice, I slipped onto the bench in front of her, and she was so busy with that water bottle that it took a minute until she looked up and noticed I was even there. She was quiet for a moment and almost expressionless as if trying to comprehend how I had materialized. Then she had this big, happy smile and said, "Ma ma!"
After she fell asleep at 7:30, Drew and I started our DIY Shabu/Hot Pot dinner. IT WAS THE BEST. Rib-eye, shrimp, daikon, Chinese cabbage, tofu, corn, carrots, etc. etc. So simple! And delicious! We had our feast while watching Grey's Anatomy.
By 11 pm, I was fast asleep.
