Rain, rain and more rain.

Today was okay. I was a little groggy when I woke up this morning, but not as bad as I was the night before. However, the phone rang around 9 am but they hung up as soon as the answering machine picked up. I was in no mood to race to the phone.

I got up and watched the news and then switched over quickly to watch The Sopranos. I know it's getting near the end, but they are really killing people off. Wow. DO NOT TELL ME HOW IT ENDS. I have purposely avoided reading anything to do with this show's finale. I am enjoying the suspense!

Afterwards I showered and settled in at my computer for a while. I had a quiet afternoon at home. Oh, I switched over at another point of the day and found the last half of Little Miss Sunshine so watched that. It was great. I have to see the rest of the movie sometime. I think Fumihiko would like it too.

I had lunch and watched CSI which wasn't the best idea as they had a very vivid dissection on the show today. Still, I just thanked my lucky stars that I wasn't eating anything that looked like what was on the screen.

I bicycled off to work around 4, which was a little late, but not too bad. I wore my bright red Disneyland raincape, with my pink raincoat underneath. Cool. The point of this is that it was raining slightly, but not much. Still, the roads were a little wet. When I got to the crossing over the main road, I pushed the walk button. The lights changed for me just as a big truck came close to the intersection. It didn't stop, and I didn't expect that it would. I waited on the side. Another car went through the crossing right after the truck. I figured he was either stupid or was driving too close to the truck to see the light change. There was nothing coming for a bit on the left side, and all the cars to my right had stopped, so I set off into the crossing. I was halfway across when I realized that a car had appeared on my left and wasn't stopping. She slowed down, and gave me a huge stare, but I was in serious danger of getting run over by this stupid woman who didn't see the BIG RED LIGHT above her. I had to put the pedal to the metal and really swerve around her. I can tell you that I said a few choice words about her driving and other things. She obviously didn't notice the fact that all the cars coming in the opposite direction were stopped.

I got to the school and had 3 fairly good lesson. I wasn't feeling all that well, so they weren't as good as usual, but with the first student we both survived the experience, so it wasn't all bad. And, he gave me a White Day present too! (I have a sneaking suspicion it was from his mother.)

Afterwards, I cleaned up and did paperwork. I wondered why I didn't hear from my husband, but when I checked my phone I realized it was still off. Oops. I called him and in a few minutes he came to get me.

Tonight's dining experience was care of M's Dining. It was nice. I had chicken with pepper sauce.

We came home and had a quiet evening in. We've had the TV on, Fumihiko watched Lost in Japanese (Sounds like the story of my life!) while I fielded weird questions from him like "How many countries use the alphabet?" How on earth am I supposed to answer that? I don't know.

Anyway, I should get myself off to bed soon so that I can get up and teach tomorrow. I don't know if I'll have 2 lessons or 3 lessons. One of my students didn't really book properly so I'm just going to show up there and if she comes great, and if she doesn't, great.

Gotta go. Night night!
