All the while that I was at practice Carrie had been doing dishes, so by the time I returned they were almost 100% clean. Awexome. We went to Fred Meyer for cheese and a few other things, including some objects to burn in the fireplace. When we came home it was clean-clean-clean, and Linnea dropped off Lena while she went to a store meeting.
After the meeting almost everyone came over to our house to celebrate Leilani's birthday. I likes having peoples over, especially when you're done painting the kitchen and have put the kitchen stuff back where it belongs, instead of all over the living/dining room (which was why we had practice at not my house).

Everyone went home except for Gena, with whom I'd never actually talked before, so that was cool. She's only 16! I'm a old man! Her dad eventually showed to pick her up—he'd gone north when he should have gone south.
Then Carrie & I enjoyed our incredibly cleaned house by playing Mario Kart before bed.
