Happy Chinese New Year!

The Chinese horoscope says I’m suppose to have a pretty good year. Haha I don’t believe those things but we’ll see if they’re right.

I’m lucky enough to communicate with my family in Hong Kong through WhatsApp. It’s usually just the kids and Kathy in there but Rachel was able to record PoPo’s voice wishing us a Happy New Year and telling me to bring home a man and we can eat pigeon together. I replied that we might scare him if he sees us eating it. haha I miss them a lot and it’s times like these I wish I was over there to celebrate with them. Maybe I’ll be lucky enough to do so next year. Wish we all had more time together. But I’ll take this over nothing at all.

Hope you all have a great Monday!

I’m not really sure where this post is going. I’m just writing it to document what I did the last part of the week just for my own memories sake. So … you can skip this unimportant post if you’d like. 🙂

I was starving when I met up with Mallory after work Wednesday and the whole time we were at Target I could feel my stomach eating itself. But right when we walked into Fish City Grill I was full and a meal that Mallory and I split ended up pretty much untouched. It was the first time we finished eating before John even got home so I ended up watching telly with her for a little while.

Thursday after work Sammy and I had plans to hang out. We had just gotten to World of Beer and I really thought I was going to keel over but I persevered. It was funny, though – for the first time, I didn’t chug my beer and he was beating me … not that it was a race or anything. After however much beer and time later, we headed to Bernie’s Burger Bus where I pretty much watched him eat because I wasn’t hungry. It’s been a while since we hung out and it was nice we were able to do so. He was even nice enough to agree to stop by my house to pick up my guitar. He’s going to put new strings on it. I haven’t played in forever but maybe now that I get new strings on it I will.

After hanging out with him I took a sleeping like pill since I was going to jump into bed by 9:30 pm thinking I’ll finally get enough sleep. Instead, I woke up at 12 am and went to work by 4:50 pm Friday. Pure torture to be so wired and so tired at the same time especially on a Friday in a meeting. I wasn’t able to or wanting to go eat until late that night. Stomach pains ended up having me to cancel plans with Alyssa to rest up since the next day was going to be quite long.

Saturday was all types of pre Chinese New Year festivities. I planned to go to Zuco’s surprise birthday party late at night but the pain was too much. I stayed home with the fams playing video games instead. I want to upgrade to a PS4 now. Ever since BIL, I play more and he actually has a little bit more patience to teach then my brother did. But it’s expensive and I would probably either play all the time and do nothing with my life (doubt it) or I play on and off and it won’t be worth the money.

The latter part of the week was filled with peoples. Sadly having to cancel two of them because of pain sucks. But staying at home and hanging out with my family was still fun since I rarely get to see the cousins. Chinese New Year tomorrow! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeps!
