A wedding and a funeral

So this morning Leina got up at 5:00 a.m. and drove Erica to the airport. She was wearing sweatpants and Franco Sarto leather dress flats in her hastily put together predawn outfit. Erica at least had done her the favor of staying over, so Leina didn't need to pick her up to drop her off.

She came home and went to bed for a few hours because she had a big day ahead! She was going to a wedding and a funeral. So she reawoke earlier than she wanted to and got packed for the wedding this evening, the rehearsal dinner of which had kept her up late last night (Charles is a groomsman). But before the wedding, she had to go to the funeral of the husband of the woman who played the organ at her parents' funerals. Leina doesn't own an all purpose cute black dress that could have served double duty, so she wore a black v-neck sweater, black pants, and the same Franco Sarto shoes that she wore earlier. The funeral was in Marin County, so she crossed that big red bridge and saw Auntie.

Then it was back to San Francisco for a quick stop at Nicole Dare's parents' house in San Francisco to pick up Nicole to drive her to the wedding. Leina changed there into a more festive outfit. She is now at the wedding. In the wedding planning, Leina was almost pushed into duty as the MC of the wedding, because it is well known that Leina is very comfortable being a participant in a wedding. She is contemplating spending the night at Charles's parents' house, because she intends to help them go to San Francisco to watch Charles's brother run in the Race for the Cure marathon that is going on tomorrow. His family does not know the city well, so she has volunteered to be their guide.

Oh, and Noriko just had a baby boy. His name is Kaito.
