Today was the day that the getting back into the swing of our normal life without visitors started. Back to boring old school, back to Japanese study, back to chores and cooking and shopping and downloading. I was planning on going to the doctor this afternoon, but I really felt a lot better, and thought that 2 hours of rest, rather than sitting in a waiting room full of other infectious people, might be more beneficial in the long run.

It actually felt quite good to sink my teeth into Japanese study again - I finished off the first CLAIR book, and most of the first test. And I am actually glad to have a bit of a break from "visitor" eating. I think I have put on 5 kg in the last 3 weeks. Actually, that's a lie - I KNOW I have put on 5 kg in the last 3 weeks (why did my bloody predecessor have to invest in scales?). So I am happy to have a month of being able to be totally in control of what I eat, and not feel guilty about depriving a visitor of a delicious meal opportunity by just having a vegetable stir fry for dinner.
Caught up on the latest TV shows that we had missed (well, downloaded a bunch of Community, Family Guy and American Dad), and started to cleaning and rearranging process. Updated iPad and iPhone (finally!), and started reading the Harry Potter books again (I'm starting at Book 5, because I know the first 4 too well to revisit right now). All up, had a nice productive, relaxing, quiet night of staying warm and looking after myself. Heaven :D
Food Highlight of the Day: HUUUUGE pudding that Sam brought home from work with him. It was really delicious, too! And it looked really cool when we turned it out onto the plate. I appreciate the irony of writing this below all the "waaah, visitors made me eat bad" above.
