February 7, 2008 - Thursday

Cold with a dusting of snow.

Today was a truly odd day. It started well. I got up, watched the news and then did a bit of computer stuff while Fumihiko was at the doctor's. He came back and then we went out.

First we went to my school to pick up some papers, then we went to Bistro des Pointes for lunch. It was very nice. We had stewed pork for the main dish. It was a little salty though. I'm thinking it was supposed to be that way, but Fumihiko wasn't so sure.

After lunch we made a brief stop at the mall, then headed up to Sakata. We were going to go to the Immigration office. I'm in the midst now of applying for permanent residency. Well, they asked for stuff that we didn't have, and said that what we brought them wasn't right, but then they wouldn't return the papers. Unbelievable. So Fumihiko has been stressing all day about that.

On the other hand, I was stressing all day about a letter that I received from a friend. It's very bad news for her and I'm rather worried about the whole situation. I can't go into it as it's private, but it is worrying me.

After the Sakata Immigration office I got Fumihiko to drop me off at my school. I worked for a couple of hours. I shovelled snow...not much today thankfully, then prepped classes for this weekend. I also got some other classes props sorted out. Whew. I was working quite hard and didn't really sit for ages. Fumihiko called me in the midst of my work, wanting me to come home. I did.

We went to Cocos for dinner and he just wouldn't stop talking about the Immigration office things. Apparently more happened than he told me about there...they need some certificate to say that I can run a school or something. But...there's no such thing. Anyway, I just got more and more stressed out and finally I almost started crying. Fumihiko was being his dunderheaded worst, and I had absolutely no idea what he wanted. And what's more, I didn't really care anymore.

We bought a few groceries on the way home and then had a quick drugstore trip. We came home then and had a quiet evening at our respective computers.

Himself has been in bed for hours, but he keeps tossing and turning. It's very annoying for me. I know I'm probably "keeping him awake" but he's making me more anxious than anything else.

Anyway, it is very late and I really should be going to bed. I'll talk to you tomorrow! Night night.

My blog on Blogspot. NO annoying pop-ups, and with bonus pictures too! I'm running out of space on Angelfire and will probably move the daily blog portion to Blogspot completely.
