I caught up with a Japanese friend I hadn't seen in person for like 8 years or so. absolutely no awkwardness, just two pals exchanging complaints about work and gossip on other friends we hadn't seen in a while.
partner's parents expected me to show up with him on the first for crab nabe, but when I didn't, they saved a lot of crab to feed me a few days later. I also got a TON of their homemade mochi, and it is soooo good.
Our cat started to get really cuddly after two months! Initially I thought he was going to be an aloof cat who just does his own thing in the house but after a month he started following me from room to room. And since a week ago, he has been sleeping with me in the bed and we’ve been inseparable since then. He’s still a bit afraid of my husband tho. Neko kisses are good for the soul.
Made a weekly habit to hit up the sauna/spa and its been great for overall mental health.
Also interesting to see the difference in thread size between this and the complaints thread. So many people starting off the new year with complaints...
Yesterday's complaint thread made me thankful I don't have to deal with any family bullshit on New Years. Completely free to eat what I want, sleep/wake up when I want, and do whatever I want without interference.

its the holidays, and most people are complaining about extended family, its understandable lol.
Crazy new year discounts.
Went to get aircon for the new house - previous estimates were 750,000, after New Year discount and points, it was 610,000.
Bought the LG C5 65" at 270,000 after discount and points - when I saw it for 330,000 2 weeks ago.
