It seemed that the real reason why I felt sleepy yesterday was the lack of sleep. I went to bed before 11pm last night, and today I felt totally refreshed. Maybe I should not stay up too late later.
Because the vegetable market near my house is not open at night, I went to the one near my colleague Della’s house, and then I would go home alone, but at last we decided to go to my house to have dinner together.
We made three dishes and a soup. After one hour’s preparation, we finally could enjoy the delicious dinner together. His husband might felt very hungry because he had been waiting for a long time. It would be a very memorable night for me. I really appreciate them for their kindness and the warmth they gave me like family members.
