Cynthia’s Birthday

October 28th was Cynthia’s birthday, which she celebrated by coming to Alexandria, where we got a takeout meal from Namaste Jalsa, and ate it at the Patent Office. Dessert was a pair of my chocolate chip cookies, and then, in addition to giving Cynthia a small bag of more cookies to take home, I gave her her birthday present, a silver and turquoise pin made by an Ashiwi artisan. (The Ashiwi are better known by the exonym Zuni.)

She drove me home, and we hugged at length before I took myself and my impedimenta upstairs. After putting a few things away, I slept, and I’m planning more sleep after a bit more screen time. Cynthia and I have plans for another date, and a second visit to her house in Culpeper, in two weeks. 💕💕💕

The Red Queen’s Race

Another amendment appeared on my Amended docket this week, raising the total to two. I did Office Actions on both of them, so I’m now down to zero.

I have been working on my oldest Regular New application, and have made progress, but I’m not finished yet.
