I slept in yesterday morning. I have no memory of the cell phone alarm ringing, I've probably just turned it off and continued sleeping. :D I woke up at 6:45 am, the time when I usually leave for work. Don't know why I woke up, but fortunately I did and was late for only 20 minutes. No problems and I got more sleep.
Weekend was nice. On Saturday there was a family gathering type of a thing where we eat and drink. Dad's wife's sister had invited us to her apartment. I was a bit late and when I got there dad was just about to start sticking needles in to the said sister. Acupuncture needles, I mean. After the sister was done, he did the same to their brother. The sister kept shouting and cursing when the needles went inside the skin, but the brother was quiet. I guess her muscles really hurt. :\ Anyway, it was interesting to watch.
We were welcomed with glasses of sangria drinks and they were lovely. After that there was eating of avocado and shrimps, cold cucumber soup, pork steaks with new potatos and salad and ice cream-strawberry-meringue cake for dessert. I ate so much that my stomach hurt for a couple of hours afterwards. It was all so incredibly good! I don't usually like pork because of the fatty pieces, but these didn't have any at all. Unbelievable. Did I tell you yet that the food was delicious? Okay. I also found out that the sister is a fan of Rufus Wainwright and she played us his newest album. It sounded good, I should also buy it.
After the gathering I went to visit
arkangeli where he and a few of our friends were having a barbeque party. I didn't want anything to eat, but I had fun just hanging out with them and chatting. Most of the others left a bit after midnight, but I and
eilen stayed behind for a while longer. It was all nice, but I got sleepy around 2 am and went back home. Kitties had also been alone for half the day already and they were happy to see me.
Nothing too remarkable has been happening otherwise. I've gone shopping on too many evenings after work, but now I have 11 new t-shirts and tops in total, so I think I'll survive the trip to Japan and back. Not all of them are exactly light coloured, but over half of them are something else than black, so it should be okay. Maybe I won't fry in the sun. Also I realized that I need some new underwear so I bought that too and now I'm only missing new shoes. I don't know what I want exactly, so looking for a pair is a bit tough, but I'll try.
On Friday I think I'll go visit mum, sit in the garden with her and enjoy the white wine I got from work earlier last month for having been a good worker in May. The beginning of my 2-week holiday should be celebrated.
