Yesterday, Nina and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary, and we were planning on going out for lunch somewhere, but we had to put those plans on hold as Niko was extremely tired and not feeling well, and didn’t want to go out. I was also tired, and was disappointed, but I understood. We will see how Niko is feeling tomorrow, and he is off next Wednesday through Friday, so if my schedule is free, we can try during the week.
So, Nina decided to go out in the world on her own, and I was glad she did. Usually, she is happy being at home and knitting or reading, but yesterday, she was eager to do some shopping. Plus it was a beautiful warm day. For me, I am home all week, and most of the time, I am eager to go out and have ventured out alone several times, but yesterday, I was not eager!
Niko and I were fine as he was assembling a CrunchLabs package, and I was reading a book. I had leftover fried rice for lunch, and I made Niko Kraft Mac and Cheese! When Nina arrived home, I snuck upstairs and napped for an hour, and it was very much well deserved.
On Friday, I was off from work as I had my annual check-up at the doctor and all is good. When I arrived home after dropping Niko off for school, I ran upstairs and took a nap as my appointment wasn’t till 10 am.
After my doctor gave me some vaccinations and took my blood, I picked up Chinese food my Niko and me. I made a quick stop for lightbulbs at Home Depot, as I wanted to replace all 12 bulbs in the basement. I am a dude, and should love Home Depot, but that is not the case as I am not handy and it’s very intimidating in there. That is why, I took a screenshot of the bulbs I wanted and it had the aisle and bin number. In and out in 5 minutes.
Also, on Friday, it was my 3 year work anniversary. Best career move for me and the last as well. All is good in my job!
For the anniversary gifts, Nina is pretty easy as I get a large assortment of chocolates! When I got them last week, I took Niko with me and he picked out a box for himself. She got me an alpaca sweater from the Overland Sheepskin Company. It will come in very hand for me when it gets cold, and also next month, I have some training at my companies headquarters in Draper, Utah. Niko has already requested a mug and a magnet. I got him a mug when I was there in 2024, and he uses that one everyday!
