Thursday - Warm with thunder and rain at night

I woke up early this morning, as in before my alarm, then went back to sleep and overslept. Sigh. I got up eventually, did a load of laundry and grabbed breakfast. I had a fairly quiet day except I did finish writing my nengajo. I got a bunch done early in the day and then finished the rest in the evening, but I’m getting ahead again.

I got a couple of lovely Christmas cards in the mail today from ladies in Japan. That was a nice surprise.

I didn’t watch anything off the DVR today. I should  have, but didn’t. I watched quite a bit of Youtube instead. Oh well.

I went downstairs to heat up dinner after F called me. I just reheated the curry from last night. I like to do it slowly so that it doesn’t burn. It works fairly well that way too. Anyway, dinner went over well tonight and both F and I had seconds. I didn’t have rice the second time. We had more of the spice cake from the store, it was still dry. It’s a bit of a shame since it really does taste quite good. 

I did all the dishes and of course, listened to some podcasts. When I finished, I went upstairs and changed for going out.

F came upstairs a little later and we went to the post office first and dropped off my first batch of nengajo.  Then, we hit up the grocery store.

I got a few things for tomorrow’s dinner and also my lunch tomorrow. Poor F may have to work on Sunday so I got stuff that could last until Sunday for me.  

We came back to the house and put away all of the food.  I watched The Rookie at 11:00. I was going to watch John Wick too, but decided not to get into it tonight. I have already seen the first one, but it was a while ago.

After midnight F and I exchanged our presents! I got the things I tried on at the store on Sunday, plus a new handbag. It isn’t one that is great quality, so it might not last long, but it is a backpack style purse. It is cute. I’m hoping it’ll let me take my usual purse to the repair shop and get it fixed. 

I gave him some ramen, some chocolate and some socks. I also gave him a pyjama top and a pair of sweatpants to wear as pyjamas. The store didn’t have a matching set in his size. He seems to like what I got him. Yay.

And that’s about it. Tomorrow I hope to have a quiet daytime and then I’ll be busy bringing my Nibbles Buffet to the table. I asked F to ask his mother to clear the table for me but he did it! Yay him.  I have a nice dinner planned, hopefully it’ll go well. 

I hope that you have a lovely Christmas if you celebrate it, or a fabulous day if you don’t. I’ll most likely be back tomorrow night but if I’m not, don’t wait up!

Until tomorrow….
