Swings, & Gachapon

Last week was actually really nice - I ended up having lots of hard conversations, but I'm extremely glad they were had. It kind of lead to a bit of a cheat week, with my partner and I eating out 3 times this week... which is NOT the norm. We had yummy Vietnamese1 on Monday, Yummy Indian2 on Thursday, and then yummy Portugese3 on Sunday. The week had been loaded for us quite a bit, but we still sorta stayed within our budget :3c

With work & life being a bit stressful we actually went to a playground one night after dinner and just,,, climbed on the jungle gym, and used the swing set. It was really small, but it was really nice to actually do & It calmed us down a bit after a dual crash out over life things. Defs going to swing on the swings again >:3

Otherwise, on our weekend we went for a chill brunch, played some arcade games, and did some gachapon at a Bandai popup in the city. We got Madoka soul gems to match4, and I pulled a little Tamagochi charm and a PocketStation charm. It was small, not really a planned thing, but it was really fun to just go out and do something silly like browse all the gachapon machines and pick out ones we wanted to pull on.

It's her birthday today so this post is a bit shorter than usual, and lacking in photos - but its because I've made plans for after work!
I'll post about them next week ~ ✨
