02.10.20: 100 Days of School, Coulon Beach

Renton, Washington

Up early Oisin crawled out of bed by 5:40 am, then met up with Etain around 6 am. He and Cian very sleepy drove over to the Starbucks parking lot, reclined the seats in the car, and slept for another hour and a half, trying to edge up sleeping hours for Cian to the healthy 10 hours required minimum for brain development. It has become an obsession as of late by Oisin in trying to make sure his son develops properly. Around 8:15 am they drove on to the school and dad walked Cian to the lineup – waiting with him until the teacher arrived. Given Cian is behind with learning, Oisin is really calculating that lack of sleep has to be the main root to it.

After dropping off Cian, Oisin headed back to Starbucks to do some vlogging, Web Development, client work, and research. He logged into DoorDash and did some dashing which brought him down to the city of Kent. Inbetween dashes, he did the tourist thing taking photos of statues, parks, and landmarks. He did some bargain grocery shopping as well at Grocery Outlet and a European discount store (which wasn’t cheap at all).

He did find some expired Thai Ice tea at the European discount store that was essentially half price because the “recommended buy by” date was expired. He compared differences between bargain shops and continues wandering around Kent.

Afterwards at 3 pm, Oisin went to pick up Cian. Cian came out of school wearing a paper “100” glasses he made to celebrate “100 days of school” signifying that the kids have been in school 100 days so far this year. They worked on homework, then head over to Coulon Beach for a hike and play on the shore. Cian declared himself the King of the Staves grabbing fallen branches and making them staves. Cian kept messing with his loose front tooth wiggling it out of control. Dad kept telling him to stop. They grabbed KFC for a early dinner / late lunch and snacked on the docks. Afterwards Cian jokingly wants to jump into the lake and dad tells him its too cold.

Dad drops Cian off with his mom then heads back to the Air BnB to continue vlogging, web development, and research. He calls it a night after falling asleep to some Netflix.
