This last week was fairly uneventful. Mara has started her "audition rotation" at Maricopa Hospital. Essentially, it's where she wants to do her residency, and this way they can see her in action and then they interview her in the end. She's been doing great, and has gotten a ton of excellent feedback. Last Tuesday, and Sunday she was on call overnight at the hospital. It was pretty slow on Tuesday, but she had 6 admits on Sunday, so it kept her busy until 2:30am. Rohan and I got to hang out and enjoy some father/son time...:)
Friday we met up with Sasha, Xiomy, Jeanette, and Marc for dinner/drinks at Daily Dose. Sasha had just returned from her rotations in OH & TX the last few months so we got to catch up with her. It will be good to have our climbing/yoga partner back!
Saturday we headed out to Cosmo Dog Park in Chandler because they have a lake for dogs to swim in. Turns out it was closed until Sept. 1st, but they dogs still go to run around and got soaked with a hose they had out. Afterwards we took Rohan to the Fountain Hills fountain which also has a wicked splash pad. I think I would have enjoyed it! There were tons of water features, and the temps were just about perfect (~95F). We also took some time to feed the ducks some of Rohan's crackers. Rohan got the hang of it pretty quickly, and really liked feeding them. Schroeder kept inching closer trying to inquire about the ducks, but they would scoot away every time he started getting close. Not sure if he'd like the water as much as Lucy did, but he does seem to get a little deeper every time we take him somewhere.
Saturday we also had a long run for our marathon training. We were scheduled to run 14mi, but ended up only getting ~12mi in before walking the last 2.5mi in. Once it cools down a bit more, it will be easier to do those longer runs...we hope...
Sunday Mara went into work around 6am so Rohan and I got to spend the whole day together. We ran into TGEN so I could add an enzyme to my DNA extractions and embed some tissue samples. He seemed pretty enthralled with the whole process. Afterwards we headed to Greg & Nico's where they gave me their old grill since they got the Cadillac of grills. It took a bit to disassemble the grill, but it fit in the RAV eventually. Rohan and I headed home and watched some football and baseball on top of playing around with the dogs. Rohan was wore out by 7:45 (usually goes to bed at 8:30 or 9), and I was recovering from some virus so I was down by 8:30. Rohan was up briefly at 10, but then slept through the night until 5:30. We both needed the rest!
Mara was off around Noon Monday, and we met for coffee before she headed home for a nap. Overall a good relaxing weekend!
