I remember waking up and seeing the time was 9:44 and thinking that it looked a lot like the word guy, and falling back asleep. I woke up again shortly after 11:30 when my parents brought J to our house. He was very happy to be back here. Finally, I woke up just a little after 12:40 when Da arrived. I was very happy to wake up to his face, even though he was later than usual.

He took me to the supermarket so I could buy some stuff I needed, including a present for J's little brother since his 5th birthday is coming up. 

It's hard to find presents for CJ. The poor kid has like no personality of his own, he just copies J, and he likes to break things. I believe he does it accidentally out of curiosity, but my grandma just thinks he's a little devil who gets off on destruction. No. He's literally just about to turn 5. He's not a demon. 

Anyway, I struggled to find him something and Da kept looking around and blatantly suggesting things that aren't for small children and also things that he would like for himself. 

I was deciding between some toys when Da came towards me, smiling, holding a Magic 8 Ball. He asked me to guess what he asked the ball. I had a guess, but knowing Da, he could've asked it just about anything. So I tell him to tell me. He said, "I asked the ball "am I going to marry that girl someday?" and the ball said "without a doubt."" I smiled really big and hugged and kissed him. I love him so much. 

So that's my new thing now- without a doubt. 

After we finished shopping, we went back home and cuddled and I napped. Eventually he ordered us some food and we ate. Then we cuddled and we both napped for a bit. I was so sleepy, I don't know why. I finally woke up from naps and saw the time. I sadly told him it was time to leave since J needed to go to bed. And so he left. And I miss him.

Without a doubt. 💖
