As I've mentioned before, I was sick over the holidays. A bit of a bummer, but it led to a very quiet and peaceful holiday season. Just me and my books, movies and games. And a cat that was very happy to have me settled at home and providing a lap for her morning, afternoon and evening naps. I'm here to serve!
Right after the holidays, I was the Embassy duty officer. I hit the trifecta for defining a good duty officer week in Tokyo: no deaths, no arrests and no calls that woke me up in the middle of the night. It was wonderful! I've also realized that the switchboard ladies, who screen A LOT of calls, are a gift from God.
Between work, fighting off colds and being duty officer, this is the first healthy and free weekend I've had in nearly 2 months. I'm so happy! On Saturday, I went to self-defense class, got my hair done, and went to Shibuya for bread and cream puffs. Yesterday was a fun and productive shopping trip up to Yokota AB. Plans for today fell through, but it's turned out to be a good thing, as I have a home to-do list right now that could fill up about 4 days. I woke up to a rainy day, so spending the day puttering around the house looked to be perfect.
And then the good puttering day became even more perfect when I looked out my window and saw this.
Snow! The picture above was taken a few minutes ago. The one below was taken earlier in the day, during one of my forays to the storage unit to put away Christmas decorations.
I think it's time for hot chocolate and some homemade individual turkey and apple pot pies!
