January 22, 2008 - Tuesday

Clear and cool.

Today was quite a good day. I got up early, watched the news, drank coffee and then the end of Project Runway. For a woman who never wears designer clothes, doesn't own anything by an important designer, and really doesn't care what she wears, I love that show! Maybe I was Coco Chanel in another life? Unlikely!

I had a good, if quiet day at home. I showered and somehow along the way ended up watching Marie Antoinette. I enjoyed what I saw, but when it got closer to the end of her life, I'm afraid I turned it off.

Today I left home a little after 3 to walk to the school. I made fairly good time, but I stopped in a drugstore for a few things. I got to the school just a bit before 4. I did go and check the parking space but it was still mostly cleared. I broke a bit of the pile down, so that if it's warm tomorrow it might melt.

I had two classes tonight and they both went well. The first one we finally finished the alphabet in our phonics book. We also started talking about size words. In the adult class we talked about cities in other countries, and finally talked about cities that we have visited. It was a little odd for me because the text suggested talking about the student's country's capital city. Well, I've been to Tokyo many times, but I've never been to my own country's capital. Ottawa is a long way from Edmonton! I had to talk about London instead.

After my classes I cleaned up and got Fumihiko to come and get me. He did, bless him, but he wasn't feeling too well. He had a headache. In Japan that can only mean one thing. He's really really sick! (Okay, I admit it, cheap shot. I had headaches for 2 weeks straight, and he was quite sympathetic.) When we came home, I cooked dinner and it was good. I made my pork-tofu-egg-kimchee stirfry, and had salad on the side. For a change, we watched a movie on the TV too. Evolution was on. We'd already seen it. In fact, it was the first movie we went to after we got married. I remember laughing quite hard at it and Fumihiko trying to shush me because I was the loudest person in the theater!

Anyway, not much else happened this evening. He had his bath and then went to bed. He isn't feeling well, and I hope he'll be okay. Usually a good night's sleep helps him.

Tomorrow I'm off work. Hurray for that! The only thing for me is that I'm not sure what I'll do. I might stay home, or if I get really ambitious, I could go out for a walk or something else. Only way to find out what I do is to show up back here tomorrow! I'll see you then.

Night night.
