Rainy and humid. Horrid weather!

I got up reasonably early today, checked the news and then planned to go back to bed. I never quite got there! I decided to check email, which I did, then did something else, then on to something else. Before I knew it, it was 11 am and I had to get busy!

I made the bed and then I made some salad for tonight's dinner. I made cucumber yogurt salad. It wasn't difficult, just a little labor intensive chopping up the cucumber. Fumihiko's boss had given him some cucumbers the other day and I am trying to use them up.

I watched some of the weekend's TV and then after a while I changed and went out. I was a woman with a mission. I wanted to go to the post office and order my travellers cheques for my trip. It's been my experience that the local post office has to order Canadian travellers cheques for me. I went in, took my numbered slip of paper, and then waited. I had written a note asking for my travellers cheques, and I asked verbally too in my horrid Japanese. I was really surprised when the lady told me she had them and would get them for me. Thankfully I had taken the money with me.

Buying the cheques took a long time, but honestly I can say that I don't have any complaints. I know the clerk didn't really know what she was doing as she was using a manual to help her, but things went well. What a difference from the first time I bought traveller cheques there!

When I left the post office it was raining so I put on my rain coat and then I biked off. I stopped at a lovely little stationery store on the way home for some green whiteboard markers.

At home I cooled off and then Fumihiko came home. After a while I started on dinner. Tonight was pork stirfry with cucumber yogurt salad on the side. It was really good.

We had a quiet evening in. We watched Medium and then part of 300 before turning over to watch The Pink Panther. Much better than 300!

That was my day. Tomorrow Fumihiko has part of the day off, but will be busy, and I go back to work. Wish me luck! 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.
