A funny thing happened this morning…
About 8:30 am the delivery man knocked on my door with a parcel. The conversation went something like this: Read more
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou my friend for making my day with your parcel (you know who you are) :)
Thankyou so much!! :)
Last night on the way home from the committee meeting Yasu took me around all the houses with Christmas lights. Unfortunately I didn’t have my dijicam with me so I had to take the pics on my mobile phone, and they came out abit shoddy. But I found 3 that may be ok! We are going back with the camera at a later date so I can take some proper pics. :)
I opened the door this morning to find a parcel from J-list. Inside were some chips I ordered for Yasu and some Bub bath tablets.
Yasu’s birthday is on the 22nd August and I leave on the 18th August, so I won’t be here for his birthday. So I just bought a few things online that I could give him to munch on while I’m gone. I’m waiting for another parcel, hope it arrives before I leave, that has some snacks and choccy for him too.
The Bub bath tablets I’ve never tried before but they looked cool. I think they must do the same job as bath salts. If I like them I will buy some in Japan and ship them home.
Thursday night we got an email from Yasu’s sister who complained that her fabric softener (Huggie) hadn’t arrived yet. She said that Yasu always says he is going to send it but never does. Little does she know that I am the one who has to send it, Yasu doesn’t ever have time off when the post office is open. So that made me feel particularly bad as I hadn’t gotten around to sending it because of what’s been happening. They don’t know about the baby because I told Yasu not to tell his mum, because they would make a big fuss about it.
So anyway Friday I woke up and felt less than good. I really wanted to go out but every time I thought about it I started to have a panic attack and I couldn’t breathe. I told myself that I wasn’t going anywhere but I still got ready as I was kind of desperate to go out. I eventually got out the door about 2 hours later, and went shopping to a multiplex shopping centre. I got some great fashion finds, because 1st of July is the beginning of a new financial year here and all the stores were having stocktake sales. I got some really nice Japanese-style tops, and a really cool dress. Get this, the dress was $159, marked down to $39, and when I got to the checkout I got it for $29!! I love a bargain. :)
I decided to head into the city for a look at about 5pm, I knew Yasu was on his way home but how can I say I just didn’t care. I guess with the loss of the baby, I feel as if I’ve kind of gone numb and lost the feelings in my heart that makes me care. I hope it will return, I hate feeling like this. I guess I just needed some space.
I did abit more shopping and then went to Utopia and picked up the last of the pan that I could find. Some greedy lady ahead of me just took a whole tray of pan for herself :( Anyway, I got a piggy face pan, and a matcha swiss roll slice, so that was enough for us.
Piggy’s face got abit squashed. He had green bean paste in the middle, yummy!
Matcha Swiss Roll with Azuki bean cream, yummy!Yasu picked me up at the train station at 7pm and he suggested having KFC for dinner (bad I know), so we went and got a variety bucket and ate it at home (I had some leftover veggies with mine, I’m a good girl!). We watched a repeat of かんすけ, and then we watched Socrates on Nhk.
I took a bath and then Yasu did and we both went to bed, but somehow Yasu woke me up at 3am and neither of us could get back to sleep so we ended up watching 英語であそぼ and then 日本語であそぼ. I found that the Japanese one is much harder as the children are quoting haiku from Basho, and in the English one the kids just repeat “paper” “airplane” “fly” etc.
Anyways, and yes, I did finally send the softener, and the in-laws parcel so hopefully I don’t have to do any more crap like that for the rest of the year.
