This Christmas morning, Hamer joyfully discovered her gifts under the tree—a large red Santa bag filled with surprises, including her favorite mechanical pencil and an unexpected pile of cardboard houses.

I spent the morning touched by Billy’s perseverance in Where the Red Fern Grows, while the afternoon ... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2024/12/25/221908.html

This morning, the sky looked uniquely painted as a large airplane passed overhead. I began reading Where the Red Fern Grows and felt deeply moved by Billy’s determination to save $50 over two years to buy two hunting dogs.

After a morning meeting, I searched for Map/GIS RSS feeds, took notes on Positive D... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2024/12/24/215757.html

I felt much better this morning after some extra rest, and Hamer also woke up in a good mood. After dropping her off, I bought breakfast and caught up on my journal.

I planned out a busy week ahead, balancing personal tasks and company event preparations.

In the evening, Hamer and I enjoyed this year’s C... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2024/12/23/210635.html

🍿 Hamer and I watched The Muppet Christmas Carol and The Simpsons: O C’mon All Ye Faithful on December 22, 2024. Hamer enjoyed the cozy feeling of sitting on the couch while watching movies. She turned to me and said, “Watching TV with Dad is so much fun.” https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104940/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt34791030/

I had a headache today, likely from waking up early and skipping a nap. I wanted to sleep early, but Hamer wasn’t ready for the weekend to end so soon. She struggled to fall asleep, feeling unsettled as the weekend drew to a close. Despite distractions like TV and toys, bedtime felt heavy with loneliness a... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2024/12/23/084514.html

This morning, I practiced driving with Xiao Yan, feeling less nervous, while Xiao Yan improved steadily.

Afterward, I took Hamer to dance class and then to her dental appointment for sealants, but three of her permanent teeth hadn’t grown in yet, so we scheduled another visit next month.

Today, I picked up my new passport and exchanged 10,000 baht at the bank after several unsuccessful attempts.

In the afternoon, I got a call from the restaurant where Hamer had left her black pouch, and it was found, which was a pleasant surprise. Hamer was initially too scared to go get it, but eventuall... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2024/12/20/214151.html

Hamer’s missing coupon pouch didn’t cause her much worry. After dinner, we arranged some flowers with fairy lights in a tote bag and reviewed her daily schedule together, referring to each other as “teacher.”

Today is a special day—seven years ago, Xiao Yan and I got our marriage certificate. To celebrate, our family went to Sultan for dinner.

This morning, Hamer, like usual, woke up early (although I don’t know exactly when). When I went to wake her up at 7:10, I saw her flipping through a book. I said, “It’s already 7:10, time to get up.” She replied, “Oh no, it’s not even daylight yet.” I guess she might have gotten a bit worried because the ... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2024/12/16/155209.html

Today, I drove on the road for the first time by myself. Though my instructor was in the passenger seat, I felt nervous from the start. Every lane change, turn, or U-turn made me panic, forget to check my surroundings, or freeze. The two-hour session was tense, but also rewarding. I realized that, beyond m... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2024/12/15/151035.html
