Sunny and warm.
Today was a good day. I actually woke up before my last alarm today. I got up, but I really didn't want to. I was tired. I stayed up very late last night.
I had a compressed morning. I did all my usual things, but in less time. Around 1 I cooked my brunch then headed over to the school. I did my set up check and then my student came right on time. We had a good class today. She had studied, plus she came for the last couple of lessons so she isn't rusty.
I rode home after work because I didn't hear from my husband. Of course, when I got home, he was there. He said that he'd sent me a text message, but I didn't get it. Anyway, I was home, so was he. I sent him out for a couple of groceries, then I got dinner started.
I took out the tomato sauce from the other night, and the chicken too. I put the sauce in a pan to heat up, started some water boiling for pasta, and then chopped up the chicken. After that, I put the chicken in the sauce again, and heated it up.
I set the table and got F. to set up coffee for us. We had fettucine with tomato chicken sauce and it was yummy. I rarely eat tomato sauce as something about it causes my skin to itch, but it was almost worth it tonight. He picked up a salad for us, so we had that and coffee too. Nice dinner. It was also nice to use our leftovers. Usually I'm the only one that will eat them. Maybe the difference was that I "remade" the dinner? It was quite different than the other night.
In the evening I packed a suitcase, then spent a little time with my hubby. It was a relaxing way to spend my evening.
Tomorrow afternoon I'm off to Sendai. I'll be back on Monday evening. I won't be updating unless it is a mob-blog, but I'll likely write something and post later. Got to go. Night.
November 5, 2009 - Thursday - Guy Fawkes Day
Mostly sunny, but many clouds at times. A little cold.
Had a mostly quiet day at home today. I got up this morning and there was both the news and the Brit Drama I missed last week on at the same time. What is it they say about feast or famine? I watched the news, then flipped over to the drama.
I stayed in my pajamas rather late today. Finally though, I got dressed and went to see if I could get a haircut. I went past the salon, but the curtain was over the door. Sigh. I thought I'd come back and check later. I went to the mall and hacked around for a bit. Then, I went back to the salon. This time the lights were on, but my stylist wasn't there. Her mother was, and was doing someone's hair. The mother doesn't really talk to me, but basically the message was I couldn't get my hair done today. It might be weeks before I have another chance.
I came home and spent quality time with my computer. F came home around 7 pm and immediately started a load of laundry and then went to bed. I went to see him, had a snuggle and talked about dinner. He said he'd get up and come out with me. Fast forward to 9:30 pm, when I went back into the bedroom, woke him up and sort of nicely demanded that we do dinner now!
He finally roused himself, then spent a good 10 minutes searching for his car keys. He'd thoughtfully washed them. And some of his medicine. Egad. Don't know why he doesn't check his pockets first!
We had a fairly decent dinner at Gusto. We were both quiet, him especially. These days he's really tired when he comes home. There's something going on at work that I'm not sure I should talk about. Anyway, it's causing him a lot of mental stress. His lower back is acting up now too, so he's not really a happy camper at all.
He came home, went to bed again, but got up to watch ER. Then before he went to bed he started mopping the floor. Huh? He said it was sticky. Oh? Course he didn't sweep it all first. He swept a little, but not enough.
The last couple of hours I've just been vegging at my computer. I'm up late again, and I really shouldn't be. I need more sleep, but I don't know when I'm going to get it. Wish me luck with that.
Anyway, off to bed. Have a great day everyone!

November 4, 2009 - Wednesday
Sunny, and warmer.
Today was a busy day. Really. I didn't sit at my computer much at all today. It had a strange and sad event halfway through as well. Read on...
Got up this morning and watched the news. Hurray. I just wish it was good news, but at least I saw it. After a brief bit on my computer I got dressed and headed out. First I hit up the grocery store for more food for dinner, then I visited a new bakery. I didn't get free goodies like last time, but the lady did offer me tastes of some of the breads there. The last one she gave me as I was paying was really yummy. It was a kind of cheese bread, and it tasted like real cheese! Might have to go back for that one.
When I came home I showered and then got busy in the kitchen. I was planning to make dinner tonight in my slow cooker. I'd bought a packet of seasoning in Canada so I was going to have Italian herb chicken. I prepped everything, threw it in the slow cooker, and forgot about it.
Before I had gone out, I had started a load of laundry, so I spent the rest of the afternoon cooking and doing laundry. I also had to put away a bunch of clean clothes too.
I spent a bit of time on my computer finally, then made my lunch. After that, I headed out to the school. I stopped at the drug store on the way.
When I was changing in the school, and doing my set up, it happened. I took my rings off and I dropped my engagement ring. When I picked it up again I noticed it looked funny. I looked closer and realized that the amethyst had broken. A big chunk of my stone had fallen off. ACK. I couldn't find the missing piece. I was really upset. I think I've written before about how much I love having an amethyst ring rather than a diamond.
My class went well tonight. The student needs a bit of help with his reading I think. I may have to try and do some remedial work with him. He's really not bad these days though.
I called Fumihiko and asked him to come and get me. I told him what happened with my ring and I apologized. He borrowed it from me. He didn't seem to be angry about it. It was an accident and I feel terrible about it.
We came home and I got the rest of dinner underway. I boiled some penne, sauteed some broccolini, set the table, you name it. Oh, F did make coffee, so that was nice. The only problem was when we were eating. He was also watching some sort of championship baseball game, so I think I could have given him sawdust and he'd have eaten in. In a break he did say to me that dinner was good, so he was sort of forgiven, but gah! If I'd known there was baseball on tonight I would have gone out for dinner!
After the game (and the next show) F did the dishes while I got on line. Around 11 we snuggled up on the couch to watch American Idol. It was pretty much like I remembered the first time. I did more crochet, which was relaxing.
And that was my day. It was good, but a bit sad what with my ring. Oh, I received a bookmooch today too, from Slovenia. Isn't that cool?
Night.

November 3, 2009 - Tuesday
Cold, rainy with sleet and hail.
Well, today was my "long weekend" day and it wasn't too bad. Unfortunately it didn't start that well. I woke up and discovered that my cellphone alarm didn't ring this morning...it must know that it was a national holiday and treated it like a weekend. Sigh. When I peeked into the living room, F was lying on the couch watching something with the headphones on. I got up a bit later and discovered that he had been watching ER, the one that I usually watch in the am. Sigh. I was a bit ticked with him, both for just lying around in the dark and for not thinking that I would want to watch ER too. I didn't even get to check if the news was on.
He stormed out and didn't come back for a few hours. Then when he did, he headed to bed for a while. After a bit I went in to see how he was. I offered to make brunch for us, so I magicked up some French toast. Since we'd bought lovely whole wheat bread on the weekend, we had some nice bread to make it with. After I finished, I sweated a bit of persimmon in the frypan and it made a lovely syrupy/jammy sort of liquid. It was nice on the toast too. F wanted to know how much sugar I had added to the fruit, but the truth was I hadn't added any!
After a bit, we went out shopping. I asked that we go to the local import foods store. I needed some real mayonaise, and while we were there we picked up more decaf coffee and some pasta sauce. We also hit up the hundred yen shop as well. It was for myself for a change. We drove to Doutors in S-Mall as well and had coffee. After that, we came home for a bit.
At home we watched a couple of episodes of Tru Calling. It was really nice to see it again. I quite like the show. I did a bit of crocheting while I was watching too.
We had dinner at Jiro tonight. It was nice. I had a combo meal, a small hamburg, small shrimp and a smallish ham gratin with salad and coffee. F had a more Japanese type meal. We came home via the grocery store to get some things for tomorrow's dinner. Sad thing is, I'll have to make a run out again in the morning I think. If I get myself motivated that is!
We're just kicking back at home now. The American Idol reruns start in a couple of minutes and then I know hubby will go to bed. I could actually get an early evening too if I want, now that I've blogged so early. Yeah, right. Bet that happens. Not.
Talk to y'all later! Night.

November 2, 2009 - Monday
Rainy and cold all day.
I was surprised when I found myself awake and out of bed at a reasonable time today. I didn't go to bed at a reasonable time last night. Still, good for me! I stayed up too.
I had planned to go out, but by the time I was mentally ready, the rain had started and I just decided to stay home. Sigh. I had just wanted to go for a coffee or something anyway, nothing too important.
F came home a bit after 6 and we talked about dinner. He suggested yakiniku, so I countered with the Japanese restaurant that he likes and I usually don't. He liked that idea so we went there. I had fish and he had pork, which is a little funny as we usually have the reverse of that. I even ate most of my rice today too. I don't usually like rice, but this was the kind with other grains in it, so it actually had some taste to it.
After dinner F asked me if I wanted to go to karaoke. The truth of the matter is that I had been hoping he'd ask and had brought along my glasses. We went to grab a few munchies and then went to our usual place. They weren't busy, so we got in right away. I sang a lot of songs, I even tried Paradise by the Dashboard Light. That one is a bit tough because it's technically a duet. I did a bunch of other things too. Some were successful, others weren't. I did okay on "Falling Slowly", aced "I Don't Know You Anymore" and garbled my way through "One Week". Still, I've been working on that one for a while!
It was after 11:30 before we left the karaoke box. It wasn't raining anymore, but it was quite cold. We came home and I jumped on my computer....no, let me rephrase that. I opened up my computer and started using it, F had some adult beverages. He's off asleep in bed now. I'll hie me thither soon.
Tomorrow is a holiday and as yet we have no plans. I hope we keep things light and easy. I'm not in the mood for something elaborate or structured! Gotta go. Night!

November 1, 2009 - Sunday
Dark and rainy all day. Miserable really.
Went to bed late last night, didn't get up early. Deary me. Well, honestly, F was in the living room watching TV with the headphones on (sweet of him) and no lights on. It felt like the middle of the night as it was so dark, I slept on.
When I did finally rouse myself hubby was eating ramen, but offered to take me out for something to eat right away. Didn't know where he'd put extra food, but he wasn't concerned. He told me that he'd like to go to a place near Mt. Haguro and have Ghengis Khan. Okay. I thought the place would be closed in all honesty and asked if we could stop somewhere to get me a sandwich or something to tide me over until we got there. We went to the grocery store. I got a couple of sandwiches and then he proceeded to go walkabout the store. I.Hate.That. He was looking for junk food. Finally I told him that he didn't need any junk food and we should go right away. Honestly. He just ate ramen, tofu, was on his way for lamb and he wanted junk food too? We did get some stringy cheese though. It's junk food, but may have some nutritional value...at least that's my theory.
We drove in the rain along some pretty scary mountain roads and found the Ghengis Khan place. Surprisingly they were open, although we were the only customers. We had the Ghengis Khan and it was okay. I couldn't finish mine to be honest. I have to be in the right mood for lamb, and I wasn't really.
We drove back Tsuruoka and F suggested going to the Mikawa Mall. It was okay by me except I hadn't really made any shopping plans. Oh well. We got there, parked and dashed into the mall. We did a bit of "window shopping" but didn't buy anything. The people I have to buy for are at awkward sizes so I'm not sure that things will fit, or be appropriate. After all, something that works in Japanese winters doesn't always work for Canadian ones. The snow here is much wetter than it is in Edmonton and the temperature here doesn't go as low.
We left the mall, but bought some bread on the way home. Mmmm. F had a really daft moment when we left the mall. He forgot where the car was, and went off in the wrong direction. I thought I knew where it was, but was one row off. Still, I got to it before he did!
We came home for a bit and then vegged for a while. Later, we decided to go out for dinner to Grado. We haven't been there in a while. When we got there, the waitress told us that our favourite dish from last year was back. Hurray. It's a ikura/salmon/shrimp fettucine dish. It was so good. We both had it tonight and it was good, but something wasn't the same. I think the white sauce this year wasn't as yummy. Still, it was nice anyway. They have the Disney Channel on in the restaurant with no sound and I was a little surprised to see that Kato Kaelin (of the OJ trial fame) was on an episode of Sabrina, The Teenage Witch. Long time since I've even thought about him!
The hubster and I came home and watched an episode of Heroes that had been on telly tonight. I made us some tea, which was a nice treat. It was something I picked up on my last trip to Canada but never used.
He went to bed a while ago and really I should be there too, but am here instead. Tomorrow I'm off...in fact, Tuesday I'm off too as it's a holiday here. I'm thrilled because _I_ get a long weekend for a change. With Mondays being the default day for Japanese holidays I only ever seem to get 2 days off, but this week, I'm getting 3. Yay for me.
That's it for me. If the weather's nice I hope to go out and do something, if not, laundry is calling. Or should! Got to go. Night!

Happy Halloween! --October 31, 2009 - Saturday
I made this from a template at RobertSabuda.com.
2 of my beautiful Halloween pictures. I made them to show my students what I wanted them to do.
Happy Halloween everyone! I'm off trick or treating tonight. Bye!
October 30, 2009 - Friday
Sunny in the daytime, then rainy in the afternoon, clearing at night.
Today was a good day. I got up this morning and found that there wasn't any news on again. Sigh. I took my shower fairly early and then watched a bit of TV.
I had an interesting brunch today. I reheated the stirfry from Wednesday, then added a couple of eggs to it. It was nice, sort of a Western Denver omelette crossed with okonomiyaki!
I got to the school in goodly time and did my set up. My student was a couple of minutes late today so I was afraid that she wasn't going to come. However, she did. She had done her homework this week and some additional studying and our lesson went much, much better! She noticed it herself, which I think is a really important thing. I can say it till I'm blue in the face, but if the student doesn't make that connection it doesn't have much meaning.
After class I did my check for tomorrow and then heard something I didn't like. Rain. Lots of rain. Lots and lots of rain. I decided to just stay in the school for a bit. A bit became a while and before I knew it, it was 6:00pm! I sent F a message asking if he was done and he called me a few minutes later. He picked me up.
We came home briefly, then made a quick trip to the mall. After the mall, we discussed dinner. F wanted to go to Sakata and have either steak or Indian food. We were going to go, but then I suggested trying the new Thai restaurant. We went there instead. F wanted to order a combo dinner, but honestly, it had Tom Yan Kun soup and rice in it, neither of which I like, so I suggested something else. I wanted some noodles, so ordered them, and F wanted some squid, pork and an omelette. I liked the pork and the omelette, but the squid was not something I liked. It had an odd taste. The noodles were great though, and I would definitely order them again.
We came home and watched Jerry Maguire. I haven't seen it in ages. Then, we just started watching Death Race. I know, it's a dumb action flick. However, it has a yummy guy in the driver's seat. Yes, it's Jason Statham. Yay!
That's it for me. Tomorrow I have a full day at work and lots to do. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to wipe the drool off my keyboard. Night!

After class I did my check for tomorrow and then heard something I didn't like. Rain. Lots of rain. Lots and lots of rain. I decided to just stay in the school for a bit. A bit became a while and before I knew it, it was 6:00pm! I sent F a message asking if he was done and he called me a few minutes later. He picked me up.
We came home briefly, then made a quick trip to the mall. After the mall, we discussed dinner. F wanted to go to Sakata and have either steak or Indian food. We were going to go, but then I suggested trying the new Thai restaurant. We went there instead. F wanted to order a combo dinner, but honestly, it had Tom Yan Kun soup and rice in it, neither of which I like, so I suggested something else. I wanted some noodles, so ordered them, and F wanted some squid, pork and an omelette. I liked the pork and the omelette, but the squid was not something I liked. It had an odd taste. The noodles were great though, and I would definitely order them again.
We came home and watched Jerry Maguire. I haven't seen it in ages. Then, we just started watching Death Race. I know, it's a dumb action flick. However, it has a yummy guy in the driver's seat. Yes, it's Jason Statham. Yay!
That's it for me. Tomorrow I have a full day at work and lots to do. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to wipe the drool off my keyboard. Night!
