December 20, 2000 - Wednesday
Hello boys and girls. How's it going today? Well, today was really warm here in
Otaru. Even tonight, it was only -1 on the walk home. But, I'm getting ahead of
myself.
I ate breakfast at home today. Yep, I actually had toast. Toasted in my own toaster
oven. Are you impressed? You should be!
I knew that two of my flex students weren't coming to school today, but I didn't know
that one of my children's classes wasn't coming either. There was some family reason
that he couldn't come. That meant I had only one class today. Sigh. It was boring.
The class that I taught went really well, I did a Christmas lesson with a stamping
finale.
I did a lot of prep work today and even prepped a class for next week. I hope I don't
have too many more cancellations this week.
After school I was all set to go, but Justin popped in his video of A Blackadders
Christmas Carol, or something to that effect. It was so funny. We didn't watch
it all, but we did watch it for a bit. After that we walked home together. It was
nice to chat, or in my case, puff and hurry up during the conversation.
We stopped at the convenience store and I made the mistake of looking in the ice cream
freezer. They had Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Walnut Brownie ice cream. I've never
heard of anything that sounded so delicious so I bought some. It's in my freezer.
I haven't given in to temptation yet, but it's calling my name. Sigh. I bought a couple
of sandwiches for the morning too.
When I got home I finished the loaf of bread that I bought on Monday. I think it's
the first time I've finished a loaf of bread since I moved to Hokkaido. I'm impressed
with me! Then, I wrote a few more New Years Cards. I'm up to 10 now, but I have
a few that I must write yet.
Anyway, that's about it for me for tonight. Not an exciting day, but I'm a little
happier than I was in the morning and that's a good thing!
