Although Kuniko was working both days this past weekend, she was able to come home at a reasonable hour (both days early in the afternoon), so things weren’t nearly as boring as I expected them to be. I worked at home in the mornings doing chores, reading books, and dreaming up recipes both days. When Kuniko came home then I’d give her some downtime and start throwing together cocktails and eventually dinner. It worked out pretty well. <\/p>\n
Speaking of cocktails, my new go-to-favorite is the Sidecar. I’ve been drinking them lately, in Thailand and since we’ve gotten back, and I love it. I had to buy a new bottle of brandy at the grocery store yesterday. I’m ready to try some variations on the standard, so maybe next weekend I’ll work on that. <\/p>\n
This week is a regular full week, and actually the following five weeks after that are as well. There is a long dry spell without a holiday, so I’ll be a regular working stiff for a long time. During this time I’m hoping to get some news on my future employment prospects either with KHI or another company. My contract ends in the middle of March this year, so it’d be nice to know what is on the horizon after that. Besides my parents’ visit, of course. They’ll be here the last week in March and the first week of April. They’ve got a bit of a fan club around here, so it’ll be a trick to get them around to visit everyone that they’d like to see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
