A bit cool in the day time, heavy rain and thunder in the evening.
Another bad day. Sigh. And it all started so well too.
I got up at a reasonable time, watched the news and then The Fugitive. It's amazing how good that show was, although I'm not sure I buy David Jansen as a 35 year old!
A bit after my shower I decided to go out. I had a few errands to run. I needed revenue stamps for my school's receipts, and some envelopes. I got the stamps quite easily and then was on my way. I realized that I could probably get the right kind of envelopes at the bookstore, and so I went there and had a look. I was right. Yay me. When I paid for them, I got back on my bike and went to the mall. I hacked around the 100 yen shop for a while. I found a tree skirt for my Christmas tree. It's a Royal Blue colour. That'll match most of my decorations too. I also got more envelopes, so I should have enough for a while. I had a lovely but not very hot cappucino in the mall, then went on my merry way home.
At home I watched Doctor Who and made my omelette. Doctor Who was great, but the Doctor changed and he's not Chris Eccleston any more. That is too bad. He was a great doctor, I loved his cheekiness! Still, I suppose I should give the new guy a chance.
I left a bit late for my school and when I got there had indeed found that the heater had switched on on schedule and it was warm inside. I boosted the heat a bit more and then changed and got to work. I didn't finish my planning before the class so I stayed a bit late and finished it afterwards. Just before my class and even during it there was torrential rain and thunder. It was a bit scary. I was worried about going home afterwards. When I finished up, I called Fumihiko and asked him to meet me at the drugstore on the way home. He said okay, so I assumed he understood.
I got to the drugstore, and was just paying for my stuff when he came in. Apparently he didn't know what, "meet me at the drugstore" meant. He went to the school to meet me. After no response, he checked the lights which were of course off. Then, he realized where I was. We left the store, which immediately closed! He loaded my bike into the car and we left. We were supposed to go out for dinner, so Fumihiko chose a place that was on our way home.
As he was parking the car, he told me, "Oh, by the way, I need to know how much money you made this year for my taxes at work." I said, "I didn't make any money this year. My school has made a little money, but I haven't made any." I was told that he still needed to know. I was a bit upset, but whatever. I asked him when he had to know. "Tomorrow." What??? I've been asking him for months to help me get a book-keeping system set up so that I could figure out how much money I make and how much I'll have to pay for taxes, and he's ignored me every single time, but now he needs to know for his taxes and I have to have the answers. We went into the restaurant and he told me that he found out last night, but didn't tell me. Sorry. Huh? If I had known I could have gone into the school early today and figured it out. I was very angry and he was acting very childish. He wouldn't eat anything and then when I was going to pay for my food he snatched the bill out of my hand. I told him that I was very angry because I've begged him for months to help me by getting an accountant to set things up properly, or to get a program on his computer to help me run the books, but he's ignored every thing I've said to him.
I did my best. I got him to take me back to the school and I grabbed all of my financial stuff and came home. He took my bike out of his car. While he did that I went inside. He didn't. He did his stupid little, "I'm running away because I'm mad at you and want you to suffer." thing. If only he knew! I really don't care when he does that sort of thing. I'm over it now. He's pulled it too many times.
Anyway, while he was gone, and for 2 or more hours I added up my income and my expenses. I do have a profit, but it's not a big one. I was a bit depressed for a while until I remembered that my school has really only been opened since mid-May, and students have only been coming since June. I haven't been open for a year yet. Most of my expenses are one time things (hopefully anyway!). Things like photocopiers, tape recorders and heaters aren't thing that I'll need to buy every year.
I was just finishing up when his royal pain in the butt came home. He wasn't speaking to me. He ate some food that he'd bought and then took a bath. Then he went to bed.
I have a really hard time understanding why he's upset with me. It's not like this tax thing was a surprise. He seemed surprised that I was angry at him. I have tried to get him to read books on how to set up the books, I've asked our friends in the same business to help him, and he's done nothing. I didn't want to set up a school at all. It was his idea. Not mine.
That's it. I'm going to quit now, blogging for the night I mean! I'm tired. I think I'll check out our comfortable couch again. Or not. Haven't decided.
Night.
