Day 10

the previous day i had went grocery shopping, getting items to make baklava. i wanted to make baklava since we were having a dinner at home and it was my mom's idea. so, woke up and starting to make baklava. the first time i did it, it turned out great. although, i had used butter, a lot of butter, and was a bit sensitive to it. so this time, i tried getting margargine. that wasn't my first mistake, but it was definately the most critical. i didn't thaw the phyllo dough properly and some of it wasn't in complete sheets, minor error. the margarine made the baklava quite salty. since it was kinda bad, i didn't want to bring the whole thing home. coming home, i decided not to bring in any. had gone to the gym between baking the baklava and going home. was running behind, told my grandmother i'd pick her up at a specific time, so i cut my workout short. my grandmother had asked me the other night to pick up some stuff for her, but running behind, i skipped it. in the car she asked me and i told her i was running behind. she was complaining she wanted the stuff, so i got kinda pissy and stopped by the pharmacy to get it for her. got home and it was okay. didn't feel like playing with the kids like i normally do. i helped setting up the table and just hung around upstairs until dinner started. we was a good meal. my sister-in-law made hot pot, the broth was good and also the meats. i stayed around about an hour or so after dinner and headed back to my place. simon, his bf and his friends were having dinner earlier and were playing a board game when i came back. i joined them for the game which was alright. i'm a bit distant to simon and his friends. not sure, why it is. guess i've never felt it with them. however, it evening playing a board game i've never played was fine. turned in once it was all over.
