Happy Early Thanksgiving from the Chow Family!
My parents will be out of the country on vacation over Thanksgiving, so we decided to have an early Thanksgiving gathering with our immediate family before they leave. It has been a wonderful day already.
Fabulous Bruch with these three fabulous gents. Perfect way to spend a rainy, Sunday afternoon in San Francisco. I'm a lucky girl.
Heading home today. What an amazing 8 nights/7 days we had on the boat. Great sail, with a fantastic crew of friends. License to Chill, over and out.
We went out for the most amazing snorkel experience around the Silk Cayes Marine Reserve today. ❤️🐡🐠🐟
Gung Hay Fat Choy! We celebrated Chinese New Year (a little late) with our family tonight.
Monthly Platelet Donation. I was just informed by the staff that they believe I have the highest platelet count of any of their donors in San Francisco. 😳 Not that this is something to be competitive about (there's nothing that can be done to intentionally increase one's platelet count), but Wow! My most recent platelet count is 541, but it has been recorded as high as 678 (almost 4 years ago in the Seattle area when I was actually turned away because it was too high). Average normal-high is 250-350.
What does this mean when I donate? I can donate two units of platelets in less than half the time that it would normally take a donor to donate one unit. (Today's donation will take 50 minutes.) Win-Win!
Just had the best 6.5 hours hanging out with Mykail. It has been years since we've had a chance to spend so much quality time together. I've missed him so much, and my heart is very happy. Best part: I get to see him again tomorrow before I head back to SF.
I'm visiting Austin (for the first time!) where the motto is "Keep Austin Weird". I'm doing my part by seeing The Amazing Acro-Cats! (I've known about this show for a few years when they were in SF but I was living in Seattle). Oddly excited!! ❤️😻
I toured the Texas State Capital today. I am certainly my Father's Daughter. I even took the free guided tour!
Admittedly, this seems like a ridiculous amount of fresh produce (and dairy) for two people. We'll go through it all within a week and a half or so. (I'm also making a kale salad for a potluck this weekend, so that's half of the kale)
