My Birthday 2025

Hubby was still in the hospital on my birthday this year.  There had been a chance of being discharged, but the doctor decided to keep him longer.  Oh well.  I decided to get myself a nice breakfast - nasi lemak and good coffee. But by the time I was 'released' (from doing things for hubby) for dinner, all there was left at the shop downstairs was cold rice, leftover-looking veg and ONE piece of chicken.  Pretty depressing.  Messaged JE that I was feeing cranky after that dinner and she replied "weekend eat big dinner, nyamnyam" - lifted my mood!

SE messaged she had a present waiting for me at home.  After hubby was settled and basic things done, I headed eagerly to her crotchet box as directed.  Aww a chicken that I'd wanted and didn't see her making.  Plus the tomato I HAD seen her making which I was now allowed to take haha.

Feeding Henny a nut

Well that weekend, I'd initially planned to go out with the girls for a good meal but hubby obviously expected food to be bought back.  Told myself at least he wanted to celebrate with me!  I thought and thought.... no point buying back nice food from a nice place.  I didn't feel like having fast food.  Hawker food would be too simple.  In the end I picked simple stir-fried noodles (added on pork ribs to make the meal more worthy of a celebration).  What's important was that hubby had a better surgery outcome than expected.  I can have something nice once he got better.
