July 22, 2008 - Tuesday

Hot and muggy, a bit of sun in the afternoon.

A kind of odd day really. I got up and checked to see if news was on this morning, but it wasn't. Sigh. I had a long nap instead. I finally got up, made the bed and showered later.

My day passed fairly well, I read email, sent some too. When 3 pm rolled around I made my lunch and packed my backpack for work. Today I was carrying some apples and juice for my school, as they were props for my kids class.

A few minutes before 4, I left the apartment and went to the bike shelter. Where my bike usually lives, there was a big gap. And a lot of cobwebs. What gives? Flashback with me if you will. Saturday morning, after Fumihiko came back from the doctor, I asked him if he'd taken my bicycle out of his car's trunk. He assured me that he had. Somehow, I just knew what had happened. He'd forgotten to get my bike out of his car. What the heck should I do? I started to walk, but realized that if I did walk I'd be hot, and extremely sweaty from it, plus, my back pack was a little heavier than usual. And, instead of arriving within 10 minutes, I'd likely not arrive for another 20-30 minutes. I decided to take a taxi. I didn't have much choice. I walked to the local taxi-stand and asked for a cab.

I got to work very quickly and paid off the driver. I also got a receipt so I could get the money back from my husband. I sent him a text letting him know what had happened. He did have the good grace to call me and apologize.

After all that, classes went well. My first was fun. We talked about the apple....things like washing it, cutting it and eating it. The boy seems to pick things up very quickly. My second class of the day also went well. We didn't finish our topic, but it was okay. We'll finish up on Thursday.

After work, I finished up at my school, prepared for an interview tomorrow, and called Fumihiko. He came to get me and we hit the grocery store to get our mixed vegetable set. We bumped into hubby's sister while we were there. I like her, but was mentally miles away, so tried to get him to talk to her. And the store, didn't have any of the veggie mix today. Sigh.

We tried another grocery store. No joy.

I asked Fumihiko if we should just go out for dinner tonight and save the home cooked dinner for tomorrow night. So, that's what we did. We stopped at home for Fumihiko to change out of his work clothes, AND REALLY UNLOAD MY BIKE. Then we had a nice pasta dinner at Grado, and came home.

We watched Monk which was pretty good, and then Fumihiko popped in the tape I'd made him of Cyborg 2. It was on WOWOW last night and was not terribly good. It was a very early Angelina Jolie film. I think I'll be taping over it real soon.

Now that it's 2 am, Fumihiko is searching all over the apartment for something. It's rather annoying. He's off work tomorrow too. He has to go to city hall or something. Honestly. He gets to take a lot of days off work! It's not fair. If I take days off, I don't get paid. Oh well. I guess I shouldn't complain.

That was my day. Not my usual one, but finally okay. 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.
