Things have been a little nuts around here lately, and not in a fun way. Health issues have been keeping us mellow and not doing a lot, and of course it’s not fun to post when all you have to talk about is health problems. Still, there has been a bit of fun; Easter, a visit to the aquarium, playing Zelda (starting at the original) and watching a lot of anime.
I’ve been researching my diagnosis (don’t we all do that now thanks to the internet?) and there was an article that said Vitamin D could help. I have my fingers crossed that this means the doctor could prescribe a trip to the beach and our insurance would have to pay for it. Oh yes, I can dream big!
Anyway, sorry for being so quiet, but hopefully with spring arriving I will have more interesting things to post about soon.
While thinking about things I am grateful for my car came to mind. After all, it’s a little old, but it runs amazingly well and other than new tires and an air conditioning leak (that only started 2 years ago mind you), the car hasn’t needed anything major. Anyway, this frame of thought led me to tweet something about it, bad math included!
Of course I was surprised to hear back, especially that they wanted to see a photo! Well, I did indeed find an old photo of the day I actually got my car. Then I took a photo of it (obviously different times of the year/different places). Oh, and then I broke out the calculator and checked my math and was embarrassed that I wrote 14 years when it’s actually 15 years old! At any rate, the car has held up beautifully, inside and out. If only I could say the same for myself!
I plan to drive it until it absolutely dies and won’t run anymore. And of course when that day comes, I hope to replace it with another Honda. 
What about your car? How long have you had it?
Updated: the Twitter convo continued!
Time to play some catch up! We celebrated Chinese New Year, complete with fortune cookies and orange chicken. Did you know that fortune cookies were created in America? That little fact surprised me! We also celebrated my dad’s 75th birthday, complete with his favorite pizza ever.
I was sick for a bit and my mom brought over gorgeous tulips with a cute “get well soon” balloon. I had every intention of watching the stack of Studio Ghibli movies but only watched one before falling asleep for the rest of the time.
Baby is adorable as always and likes to look at herself when I turn the phone camera around. Our bird on the other hand is not amused by the phone in any way shape or form. And although it has been winter and cold, for the most part it’s been pretty mild, as evidenced by the lack of snow on the mountains. Still, the cold weather makes for great snuggling up time.
