Day 11, Cocoa's Birthday

Today was Cocoa's 6th birthday.  He got some steak with breakfast, took a nap, then I dropped him off at daycare to hang out with his friends.  There's a great picture of him on my and Monica's Facebook pages. Cocoa also got some steak for dinner.

Spent most of the day dealing with a couple of issues from the softball league where the rules are a bit ambiguous... and I thought we had fixed all the loopholes and confusion years ago.  Also looked into purchasing a second home, either to flip it or as a rental.  The previous owners started an illegal conversion to a duplex -- they never got any permits -- and then the bank foreclosed on them.  The house is in limbo -- either the conversion needs to get the legal approval and be completed, or it needs to be reversed back to single-family housing and the bank certainly isn't going to spend any money to do so -- so it's selling at a big discount.  Unclear how much work and time would be required to fix it.

Picked up Cocoa.  The day care put a birthday hat on Cocoa and took a picture of him. He's adorable.  Cocoa got more steak for dinner. I think he ate better than I did today.  Then I made dinner for Monica and I -- salmon and brown rice -- and as I type this the brownies are out of the oven and cooling.  Mmm, time for dessert.
