Although this was a weekday/workday, Grump didn't have to go back to work until after lunch. This is because he and Sweetie had appointments to go to the ...... dentist! This is NOT Grump's favorite place to go to at the moment, (his tooth with the temporary cap is still hurting him), but they just went for cleaning and checkup, and fortunately neither had any new cavities.
After that excitement, Sweetie, Grump, and Kuya went for a nice lunch at the Fountain of Juice restaurant. Then after he dropped off Sweetie and Kuya at home, Grump drove in for a half day of work.
Once he got home from work, the icky part of the day started. If you remember from yesterday, Sweetie got a fax from the Philippines. It was the woman her sister works for, telling her that her sister needs emergency medical surgery, and asking if she would be able to send money to pay for it.
To say Grump was unhappy about this would be a massive understatement! He fussed and fumed all evening, even as he was driving Sweetie to the Western Union to wire the money. This was a large amount they were sending, and it took a big bite out of some savings Grump had set aside for our costs for the rest of the year. Financially it was a pain!
But after complaining for longer than anyone would consider appropriate, Grump finally did settle down, and now I think he has come to terms with this latest expense of ours. (At least I hope so!)
On a more pleasant note, Dodong learned to eat corn-on-the-cob.

Kuya ate corn-on-the-cob too!

After dinner the three boys read a book.

Then we all went to bed. Goodnight all!
