Can you guess what I did after work today? Yeah, I went to Disneyland. I hadn’t been there since before Halloween because the crowds were so overwhelming then and I didn’t want a repeat of that experience. But I thought today would be a day of lighter attendance not just because it’s a weekday, but because of the rain. It only rains in Los Angeles in the winter so the storm last night definitely marked the beginning of the season. And a lot of people here stay home when it rains so I took advantage of that and went out instead. I had to be at work at 6 AM this morning for a test so I got to leave at 3 PM and head to Disneyland before the traffic picked up. That was definitely worth it since the park closes at 8 PM during the week now. I spent about three hours at Disney riding a few rides (Haunted Mansion Holiday, Small World Holiday, etc.), eating dinner (a so-so rice bowl from California Adventure, but then a scrumptious salted caramel hot chocolate for dessert), and doing some Christmas shopping at Downtown Disney (presents for my best friend!). It was a good evening. Since winter has finally arrived I wore a sweatshirt even though I thought I might be a little too warm, but I was actually chilly! I love winter in Southern California so I’m trying to enjoy it as much as possible. (Fortunately “winter” lasts until April or May so there’s a lot of it!) I drove home at 7 PM, watched a couple of TV shows on my DVR (Sleepy Hollow and Big Bang Theory), and now I’m sitting in bed writing my daily post way too late again! But it was a good day so I’ll go to sleep happy tonight.
