the good, the bad and the mouldy

I ended up fleeing the icy cold bed last night, throwing the raisin bread rolls in the freezer and setting up camp on a foldout mattress in the living room. Was almost asleep in 2-3 mins, when J came out asking what I was doing (as I had an altercation with a noisy toy of K's trying to get to the mattress....)

All about today -
The good:

was a lovely day at playgroup today, which was held at a local air-con playroom, esp since we hadn't been for a while. Was great to chat away and let K run riot (which she did, lol) on the toys.

another good - I finally got a replacement bag. mine has been fraying at the edges for a few weeks maybe months now. I am usually a bag-lady (luv my bags) but have had serious trouble trying to find "the one" this time. It doesn't help having a toddler there, as anything more than 2 mins in one section and there is usually an incident of some sort (today K knocked a shelf down). Anyway, my new bag is bigger than the old one b/coz I only ended up having to take 2 bags or more with me anyway with all the junk I carry around for K (my idea to keep a smaller bag so I would not lug the junk around never really worked)

the bad:

you know how when you are driving and there are pigeons in the middle of the road, and you slow down, and J always says "you don't need to slow down, they are faster than the car!" so this once, you don't slow down...well, you know what happens in that situation?? yep, I ran over and killed a pigeon on the way to playgroup. I was mortified, seriously. I have never killed a bird before. I felt soooooo bad. sorry little pigeon. I will always slow down from now on.

if you buy something like 1500yen worth of stuff at the supermarket, the car parking for the playroom is free, so after playgroup we went to get some stuff for dinner. Of course I couldn't remember anything I wanted, so was scowling the aisles to get enough stuff to add up to 1500yen....got some eel for dinner (we SO need the energy burst) and some yogurt....then had to fill the basket up with milk to make up the difference!! lol. Of course thought of a million other things I should have bought on the way home...but since K doesn't want to sit in the trolley, or push it, or hold hands in the supermarkets anymore, most of my time in there is spent chasing her up the aisles trying to get her to come back.

and the mouldy:

the humidity at the moment is getting to me. there is actually nothing mouldy *yet* but I am just waiting for when the whole house ends up a shade of green. I am not a fan of the 5th season in japan

not really mouldy, but it seems that I am in a green-buying phase. I never used to wear green, but recently I have accumulated a mass of green items: shirts, skirts, and now my new bag is a light olivey green. I hope I don't go mouldy too.
