Story told by mom again. After she swept the bathroom floor, dad saw that it was wet and didn't go in. Instead, he pee into one of mom's empty flower pots, then emptied it into the laundry room sink. Yes he rinsed it, but still super gross. Sigh... yet another story I didn't want to know or hear about.
Besides that, mom asked him to fetch some corn starch from the basement and top off the container in the kitchen. He did it with water chestnut powder instead. The packages are so different, there is no way to mix them up. Did he forget which one mom said? But that seasoning container has never held anything else but corn starch. Mom tried to salvage the water chestnut powder and made some water chestnut dessert (just in time for some kind of birthday gathering at the church). But of course the dessert failed.
My aunt dropped off a load of my late uncle's old clothes. Whatever fits went to my brother and his gang. The rest, donation box. Dad was trying things out too. With his z= 2x belly there's no way anything could fit. (My uncle was slim.) Observation made by my sister-in-law: dad kept trying on stuff that he had already tried on. So, did he really want to get some of those old clothes, or just his hording nature, or did he simply couldn't remember which one he had tried on?
My chiropractor moved to a new office. It's street level. For the past 20 years he's been on the 3rd floor of an office building. The new place is way bigger and nicer. It will be prime property when the new sky train opens. The rent is about the same as the old place. Wow.
Sakura in my area are almost all gone...

Apparently the wind storm last night was strong enough to cause power outage in some area, but it wasn't that bad near where I live. However, most of the sakura are blown away. Oh well there's next year.
Huh? Can this be considered Engrish? Anyway, thanks Kazuyo for this one! Yes, it became breakfast and (sometimes) lunch during my trip. And yes I brought the empty box all the way home just for this picture. The idea is like Nestle Crunch, with embedded rice puffs in milk chocolate. The difference is the size of the puffs. Japaneses style seems to call for more details and favors smaller puffs. I'd say for crunchiness, Nestle Crunch wins. However, Crunky is not bad at all. There was a third kind from eastern Europe that has way larger rice puffs, which is even less crunchy. Have I done a review...? Probably not...
Was going to have a sakura picnic with my anime friends, but got a late notice that an ex-colleague came back from HK for a visit, and he was hosting a huge BBQ. This is a rare chance to see a bunch of ex-colleagues. So the day was spited between the two groups. Too bad I didn't get to eat any of the BBQ. Forgot the name of the vegetarian restaurant where we had dinner, but it was a pretty niffy place. Sakura? Too bad they were almost all gone and we didn't have a real picnic.
Since mom asked, I drove them to dad's eye appointment. (And lost one day of work as a result, though.) Just like last time, we ate lunch at the beef noodle place downstairs from the clinic.
