Today was a wonderful day! It was my husband's first day back to work, after all that training he did last week, from home, so I had the house to myself again, to get some work done as well. I also did not have to cook tonight, which is another reason today was great! I hate cooking. Seriously, I just get no enjoyment out of it, especially when I feel like whatever I do in the kitchen is somehow wrong (the joys of living with an 'amateur' chef). It's a relief on my day when I know I don't have to cook beforehand.
Anyway, the reason I didn't have to cook was because today was another special birthday for a long-time family friend, and we took him out to dinner to his (and our) favorite sushi restaurant, called Okawa. I'm not a fan of sushi, but they have an amazing tonkatsu and salmon teriyaki dinner that I usually get. (Not together, separate meals) We hadn't been there in quite a while, and it was just as good as it always is. My mother-in-law was also there with us and we all just sat and talked and ate. Although once they started talking politics, I kinda tuned out, because that crap goes in one ear and right out the other for me. Specifically because it usually ends up in an argument or some kind of disagreement.
