Life update
I seem to have caught up on most of my activities so, a quick update to my life so far:
- Gearing up my running for the half marathon (~22km) in January. I was supposed to run 15-18km in the past couple of days, but I GOT SICK DAMNIT. Yesterday I even had a coughing fit where I thought I was going to die, because I was wheezing and couldn't breathe between coughs. After the coughing fit, I measured my blood oxygen levels and I only had like 60%
- I'm going to have to try running again tomorrow as I'm feeling heaps better from the past few days. My cough has turned into an allergy cough, it seems.
- We have unanimously decided we will not put up the Christmas tree this year despite our hosting Christmas dinner again, because, The Destroyer of Things The Cats. Incidentally, the godzilla in particular is kneading in my bed right now.
- Christmas shopping is also all done but I am afraid to take them out of the delivery boxes because, again, The Destroyer of Things The Cats. I bought a Bruno X Pokemon Sandwich Toastie maker and they gifted me a free Bruno Thermos mug (not Pokemon). The Cats (Orange and Baby) in combination with Frankie the Frenchie decimated the box of that thermos mug and darnit. I could have re-gifted that (though I didn't have a giftee yet) and now I can't gift it at all because there's no box.
- Life's been pretty steady, I've been consistent with my visits to the ceramics workshop, so much so I decided to actually and sign up to be a member of the organizer of that workshop. I'm not converting the currencies, but just look at the dollar value difference, say I will go 40 weekends a year (fair enough, holidays, lazy days, etc.) then for an annual $600 membership fee, I save roughly $3600. Basically I save $30 per hour if I am a member.
- I've also got my 4th (Level Intermediate II) Mandarin class lined up for the next semester. It's going to be a bit of a pain this time around as the schedule is Thursday and Friday 18:45-20:15.
- I'd like to squeeze in one more language learning but I don't know if I will feel overwhelmed or what. The thing is, I need an actual schedule to make myself stick to it. I'm surprised enough I'm sticking to the ceramics.
