-We found out on Christmas day that my Grandma was going to have surgery today at 9am. I didn’t have a chance to go visit after work, but I am thinking healing thoughts for her.
-7.1/7.0 earthquake(s) in the ocean off of southern Taiwan. Haven’t been able to get through to Mom on the phone, but I know that she is not in southern Taiwan.
-The fuyu persimmon tree at my parents’ house gave up a huge crop of persimmons this fall. My brother was busy so he didn’t get a chance to take them off the tree before they started sagging the branches and became overripe. When I went home on Christmas Eve, I brought back a bag for Yoshi’s parents up north. I heard some of them were too mushy, so they made persimmon bread. Which prompted me to look up some persimmon recipes.
-Spent the day at the office, but it was a quiet and productive day. All in all, not so bad!
-Came home after work and got some stuff done around the house. Got hungry and ate leftovers in front of the TV. Got cold, laid down while watching Nova: Monster of the Milky Way (about the supermassive black hole that could be at the center of the Milky Way). Fell asleep. Woke up, chatted online, did some cleaning, dishes, called Yoshi, Bro and Nina.
i was going to send you pictures of the persimmon bread but my laptop’s cardreader doesn’t include compact flash cards. go figure.
That is a full day! I’m praying for your Grandma. Keep me posted. Persimmons are crazy delicious!
when i was in Silicon Valley next week, I noticed that every house had a lemon or orange tree. I think fruit trees are so cool. i wish i could have one in NY (or space to plant one)
