Day 47.5; Sunday, August 2nd

I got really scared last night... There was one flash of lightning almost the same moment the really loud thunder came. o_O; Which shows how close it was. I think it might've struck something in my neighborhood. D': It was really loud, and when I was trying to fall asleep, so yeah...totally freaked out.

Woke up like...at 10 the next morning. xD I was cold, and my mum was very loudly doing something with a blender thing, so yeah...just had to get up. D': Got up, skipped brekkie, and helped my mum and dad make dumplings. I'm in charge of rolling the little dough thingies into circles. :'D That way my mum can run away and start cooking the dumplings while my dad and I are making more. Very efficient system! Right when you finish cooking, you get to sit down and start eating! Woot! We tried to make this weird ginger sauce thing, but it didn't work out that well... Mixed it with some normal sauce and it tasted fine though. xD We ate like so much, just between 3 people.

I was like...there's nothing on TV, shouldn't like...that weird French dude that cooks be on right about now? (And Veggie Tales!) ...turns out I thought it was Saturday. xDDD;; Ai-ya! My mum was like...you definitely slept too much. She said I look like a chimp. :'B The monkey kind, just in case there's some other kinda chimp. xD You never know! Basically it's cause I'm all hunched over when I'm dead and I walk all zombie-ish, and my arms go swing swing. xD

So yup, after eating lunch, we sat down and watched that world swimming championship! :'D (My mum made my dad move this thing of peachies away. xD She like couldn't even look at them, so he had to move them to the dining room across our house!) After that, my mum was like...ehhh, I'm so tirrreeed. But we were like...D:& No! Swimming time! So she slept in the backseat of the car, so I had to sit up front. xD Bleck! I sorta like it in the back, more room for my feet to take up.

Swam 12 laps, 3x 200m IM swim. Though my first IM swim was in the wrong order, since when I'm freezing my butt off when I first jump in, I refuse to swim fly first. D:& (Swam backwards IM, I guess. Went free, breast, back, fly.) Showers were crowded, so I ran out as fast as I could, just in case someone was waiting for a shower. Turns out no one needed it...so yeah, that was pointless. xD Oh well~! Maybe someone would've showed up right after I left.

Went home and my parents sat in the basement watching a Chinese drama thing. And then my mum came up and was like...I miss youuuu. So yup, ended up sitting down there with a bowl of blueberries. xD I ate almost all of them... Ai-ya. Got sorta dead after that. (My mum was like afraid to eat the blueberries, in case she was allergic to those too, but she was fine after some convincing! :'D)

Then, soon after, dinner came along. Obviously wasn't hungry, since I ate a lot of lunch and had a million blueberries. So yup, uber light dinner of some instant ramen and veggies.

Then my parents were like...going to park, wanna come? Since Kat wasn't going to get online, I was like...sure! :'D So yup, when there, walked around with my mum. She told me lotsa stories. She's had 6 different jobs in her lifetime! Woo~! (Two at the same company. xD) It seems her company thing closed (people had 6 months to find a new job. Before then, they just...sat around the building drinking free coffee and stuff. Their boss came and told them it was sorta suspicious and weird to hang around there too much. Their boss' suggestion was to go home. xD), so she went to another company for a while once it shut down. Then it reopened, and like...a bunch of people from that other company moved over to the one that just revived itself again. XD It's like...wow. That's totally considered stealing people! Ai-ya~! And when she got there...her boss wasn't around. o_O; So she was like...hey, not busy, let's have a baby! At her work place, there were like 5 kids born around the same year. I was one of them~! Woot! Every one of her co-workers were like...hmm...it's definitely a boy! (Who knows what sorta crazy random things they use to guess this...xD I think by the end, they just wanted to guess correctly, so guessed what everyone else had guessed??) You know what...have to admit I don't trust those methods so much anymore. xD Anyways, story time was nice~! My bro was born wayyy late. o_O; 2 weeks or so later. He was a huge baby. xD Freaking 9 pounds or something. My mum's oldest sister was like...well at least you know which baby is your's now! (Think about it...all the babies in China are chinky eyed Chinese babies. o_O; You think you can tell them apart?? xD)

After story time...came yoga time. ._.; AI-YA! My mum tried to make me balance. It seems balancing me staying still, instead of not falling. xD I was like...hopping around on one foot to try and not fall. My mum was laughing at me. :'B I FAIL AT YOGA! I'm not flexible and not balanceful. I'm just a big hunk of fat with a little muscle in there, that's it. xD

So yup, went home and my dad's bread perfectly finished on time! (Had to use that extra dumpling dough for something.) So we sat down to try it, right? ;D And before we knew it, half of it was gone. o_O;; The crust was really really hard...for some reason, my mum likes it. xD She likes that little top layer of the sponge cake...and the slightly overcooked parts of rice, and all these weird things that people don't like. xD So yup, my dad ate the yummy inside, and kept giving her the crusts. Don't hobos usually eat the crusts? O_o;; Oh well. xD

Ughh....too much bread and not enough water. D': All thirsty now! -goes to drink some water outta my sink-

No epic reading of books today, but yeah, it was a pretty epic day of spending some good family time. xD

Gaia doesn't like me very much. Right when I'm like...okay, let's give all my stuff to my cow! It gives me a Pink Magical Giftbox, which I opened up, and got a Nitemare Bustier. ._.; I sold it and now I have 77k. NO, I OBJECT! D:< -sends a trade to my cow again when she gets online-
