Writing writing, New Year's sleep, drive to Bellevue, walk in Bellevue downtown and park, an incident with a backing car, spooky foggy day, brown rice and veggies cooked [Sun 1]

The first day of the new year, after the exceedingly relaxing day I had!

Spent most of the day writing on this blog, to cover up for the days I'd lost for our drive down South and the Chelan trip.

Slept until quite late and wasted a lot of time on the public internet forums that aren't too exciting, would rather not waste time on that nonsense I wish.

In the afternoon I walked over to Sk's place, and we drove over to Bellevue downtown next to the downtown park. Took several rounds of the park, and walked a couple of blocks nearby. The town is great but Bellevue is a suburban smalltown that's trying so very hard to become a real city but can't because of all the goddamn car infrastructure, those stupid parking lots everywhere.

As we were returning, Sk backed into a car and gave it slight scratch by half a millimeter, not much of an issue. But the driver of the car who was well into mid twenties seemed very inexperienced, called his dad on what to do and spent thirty minutes on figuring insurance stuff out even though the cost of the repair is going to be nothing compared to the increase in insurance premiums due to non-fault claims for the car's insurance.

S dropped me home, the day was really foggy with barely thirty feet of visibility.

For dinner I boiled brown rice on the cooker, then dumped a bunch of veggies etcetera, let it all cook and steam in the rice cooker itself, along with the chinese achar. I don't like brown rice much but one's gotta do what one's gotta do.
