Month: January 2024

January 20, 2024

It was a cold weekend, but I managed to get up and get to the gym in Eechon for some exercise. When I got back to Sadongrhee, Mason and my mother-in-law were ready to go for brunch. This little place, surprising empty today, has great food. Us three, were able to devour every piece of these 4 meals. 

Later in the day Mason and I played, he hunted me with his bow and arrow as plungerman. We also bought two canvases from a nearby store to paint skibidi guys on, although Mason cried on the way home because I didn’t buy a toy helicopter, he made me agree to buy it next weekend. Later in the evening I played screen golf with HK and her Dad (JH canceled on us) and I won!

After hockey and then Bas Burger for lunch with HK, Mason and I made it to the Lotte World Aquarium. Madhouse for sure, but to be expected on a Sunday. Mason really enjoyed it, especially the seal show, collecting stamps, and the new beluga whale (the old one died unfortunately.)

Tough time breaking free from the souvenir shop but I negotiated a toy at Lotte Mart instead and mason decided on a 5 pack of slime. Pizza for dinner at home and we both enjoyed the movie “Leo.”

Monday’s dentist visit produced a tooth, after the fastest pull out of all time by a very experienced dentist. Mason was thrilled to put it under his pillow and psyched when he found 5 dollars the next morning. HK has so happy that he was so happy.

This year we had a cozy Christmas at home, just the three of us. On Christmas Eve, we were supposed to play ice hockey but practice was canceled. I think Mason was happy about that. We watched the Buffalo Bills play in the morning and they beat the Chargers 24-22, a little too close for comfort, but I’ll take it.

Besides a trip to Lotte for some last minute shopping we stayed home and had wings and pizza. Before bed Mason asked me how Santa could get in since we don’t have a chimney, I said he knows magic, but Mason corrected me by saying he will probably use the veranda. Smart kid. 

Christmas morning Mason was up first and was so excited to see Santa had left some big presents. HK said she might have seen Santa in the hallway the night before. Nice touch. Mason’s drone and air hockey table were the highlights. Of course, I made biscuits and gravy and I will give myself a 6 out of 10 for the effort, but they still need work, nothing close to Uncle Ralphs.
