October 29

Today the weather was full of off... off-full.... awful. ugh. Very rainy, very cloud, very miserable. Fortunatly I got a package from home which lifted my spirits quite a bit. I received a lot of Mexican food and salsa and spicy stuff, which was very much needed for the severe shortage of spices in New Zealand. I also got the movie "Nightmare Before Christmas" I was exceptionally worried that this year would be the first time I would go without seeing the movie before Halloween since its release in 1993. Luckily I also got to goto the grocery store today so I got to plan some nice meals ahead. Worth noting that instead of the usual just under $100 at the store I spent a little under $200... ouch
