It's been a while since I've written an "update" post and I guess that's for pretty predictable reasons, mainly that I'm just sort of getting into the swing of things and living a normalish life. Also, a reason would be the fact that Casey is coming in four days, and that fact has made it pretty impossible to think of much more. But, life is good, I'm loving my new house, especially my cozy bed now that it's equipped with flannel sheets, a feather comforter and a regular comforter that is my favorite color, and generally with a cat or two, or even a dog. We had our housewarming party a while ago, which was a total success minus one dog bite and some puke in the bidet. Yesterday I even finally took down Borja's posters and put up my own stuff, which makes it feel a lot more like home.
Also yesterday, I unexpectedly received TWO packages at the same time! One from my mom and Todd and one from Karen and my dad. So far I've opened several treasures, like a nice cozy blanket, some sweet little glass hearts, tasty Twin Palms dried tomatoes and peach jam from my dad and Karen, and the stocking I use every year, full of goodies, and a big yummy candle and some chocolate from my mom. I'm trying to open them slowly so I at least have one or two things to open on my actual birthday and on Christmas. It made me so happy, and also sad, because I miss them, and I've never missed Christmas before.
After getting my package Karim came and picked me up on his motorcycle and we went to get sushi/Chinese food with Leti and her friends. I've never actually been to one of those moving belt sushi places! Unfortunately, I didn't actually get to eat sushi since they didn't send any veggie rolls by, but I had some rice, noodles and SESAME BALLS. Very exciting. Afterwards we went to Booga for karaoke, which was pretty funny, although, I'd never heard ANY of the songs, of course. I had a good night, but I was really annoyed with myself for being super awkward. I just can't help being really lame around new people, especially when they all know each other and I'm still figuring out the language. Everyone was really nice, though, so I'm glad I went at least.
Anyway, my winter break has officially begun, so Gypsy and I are spending lot's of quality napping time together (although this morning I woke up with Gato and the dog and not him, oops.) A lot of quality time with the bed, in general, 'cause it's cooold! Writing in bed, reading in bed, watching Shameless in bed... It's hibernation season!
