kamomilToday I went to church, went shopping at the Chinese bakery, and did one or two other things. Then I went home, and slept a bit. I didn't eat as much as I'd have liked. Not realizing my cellphone ringer was off, I hadn't gotten a few phone calls. My youngest sister wanted to know if I was going to visit. She's staying temporarily with our middle sister. So I popped over there tonight. I told the middle sister that Jian Ghomeshi was replacing the Freestyle people, it took her a second, then she knew exactly what annoying show I was talking about - on CBC Radio. I cuddled the baby. He is so cute, at 3-4 months he is smiley enough. I had brought the Chinese bakery stuff, my sister and her husband started in on some of the buns, so I left the rest there. Haha I got 2 taro buns and a red bean one, so they'll have a good sampling of actual Chinese style bakery stuff. Normally I buy the coconut ones... mmm. Her husband commented that they live near some Chinese stores but never thought to go to the bakery, so maybe I've converted them. I talked a bit to my youngest sister, she had just returned from a Christmas in Germany. She gave me some German chocolate she had bought before she left. I like giggling about German-language labelling on items.
I'm getting caught up on my Coronation St. reading - I read plot summaries on the internet, and because I don't watch TV, I look at the UK storyline. I have about a month's updates right-click-saved to my hard drive, I save 'em off the ITV site and read them later. So now I'm about 2 weeks behind, hopefully I can get caught up, but I'm not holdign my breath, because I can't manage to get anything done that I want to anyhow - that's the reason I save them for later, because it seems all I do is work and sleep.
Church was kind of ghey today, one reason I'm goign, is that if I decide to someday get married there, I have to be a regular attendee. I know, I know, I need a fiance first, but they can be real bitches at churches if you fly in out of nowhere and want to get married. I debated as to the shaky value of that reasoning this morning. I went anyhow, because my other reason for going is stability, socially. I saw someone behind me that I saw at the barbecue from last summer, so that was something. If you go to a church long enough, you get to know people, primarily how the backs of their heads look. But you get to the "Hi" point at some point or another. One lady had 3 teenage daughters, and a younger son. She was pointedly singing at them, like she was leading her own family choir - trying to keep the kids engaged in the service. That was entertaining. In my other church, I literally saw some peoples' kids grow up before my eyes, over the years. At this church, it's not all whitewash like the small town I grew up in - I'm still getting used to hearing Croatian or other languages being spoken around me.
I want to start going to bed earlier, I keep going to bed late and napping during the day, not a practical routine for when I have to be at work. I feel rotten when i don't go to bed early, I'm caught in a cycle of going to bed too late and sleeping in.
God the people who smoke in the hallway are annoying. They've started spraying the hall with air freshener to mask the smell. Idiots. Tobacco is truly an evil substance, that it's so addictive.
