Christmas Week Recap

[hannalovescats]

Happy belated Christmas to everyone! :) It's been a good week, weird with work days sprinkled into days off but a good week all in all. 

Had Monday (22nd) off and we went to Oxford to check out the conveyor belt sushi place. I thought it was really cool and maybe will make it a point to go back with a friend. Mike was ok with it but I don't think it's really his thing so kind of a waste of money since it is all you can eat. But either way I am glad I got to try it out and definitely stuffed my face with lots of sushi and some other delicious things like rice and noodles. 

Tuesday (23rd) I worked and it was kind of a hectic day. Then had the 24th and 25th off. On Christmas Eve we went for brunch at Jlaw and then had a feast at home with shrimp cocktail, pigs in a blanket, baguette & brie, cheese & crackers, veggies & dip and some wine. Watched "Love Actually" and "The Grinch" which was fun. 

On Christmas Day we went to the movies and saw "The Housemaid". Thought they did a really good job adapting the book into a movie. Some changes but I guess that is to be expected. But all in all I really enjoyed it. Afterwards we watched some more movies and had more food. 

Then the 26th I worked and overall it was a relatively quiet day. I was more or less "on call" for any emergencies but nothing too crazy came up. We will see how this upcoming week goes as we have a lot of people out and a lot of coverage set up. We will see how it goes. 

Yesterday, Saturday (27th) we headed into NYC to meet up with my Austrian friend Nicole who is here with her husband & son over Christmas/New Year's. Walked through Bryant Park where they have the Christmas market/village set up which is neat. So many crowds. Crazy! But do have to say it was pretty with the snow covering the trees and all. 

We had a snowstorm Friday into Saturday and where we live in Western Connecticut we got about 7 inches of snow which is more than we have had in a while. So Saturday morning we had to dig ourselves out and get the car from the city garage (about a 25 min walk) before heading into the city. 

But anyway NYC was busy but was great to see Nicole and to hang out and catch up for a while. Ended up back home a bit after midnight I think so not too bad. And today we will have a low key quiet day. And then tomorrow it's back to work. 

Mail Update: All caught up for once.
