Valentine’s Day 2023

Since Valentine’s Day fell on a weekday this year, we celebrated early on a weekend and on the day of.

Early celebration

We exchanged gifts early. I was gifted Pandora’s Mahjong Triple Dangle Charm and six roses to match the charm. The charm consists of three different mahjong tiles, each with the number 6. ^^

I followed a YouTube video and made a painting. It’s my first painting in about 10 years, and I’m really proud of how it turned out. I had a lot of fun painting it, and I plan to paint more in the future.

I loved doing art when I was younger, but I was recently hit with roadblocks and the discovery that I have aphantasia. I was angry that I have it, to be honest, and I felt that I had missed out on a lot… but that won’t stop me from making art.

I also made Monsters, Inc. chocolates. I loved the movie, and I love Mike and Sulley.

We went to Minami, a Japanese restaurant. The food was delicious! I ordered the Sablefish Lunch and would get it again.

We went to Catoro Café after lunch. You can see my blog post about it here.

Valentine’s Day

We saw Kaguya-sama: Love Is War – The First Kiss That Never Ends in theatres. It was amazing.
