Sunny and warm. Lovely day.
Fumihiko got up early this morning and surprisingly, so did I. I didn't get up when he left though, but for me, it was still quite early when I got up. I managed to watch news, so I was quite happy.
In the early afternoon I got ready to go out. I had a long list of chores for myself to do. I had to mail some funds to my sister to cover my last hotel stay, then I had to pay for a convention that I'm going to in February. After that, I had to go to my bank, pay two bills, go to my school's bank and make a deposit, and then finally, I would be done! I had to get everything sorted out before I went on my way. I even wrote my sister a thank you note for letting me stay at her home.
Things went quite well and I got everything done before the banks closed. Whew. However, I found that the banks today were just too hot. I went inside and immediately began to sweat. I had to grab one of my handkerchiefs from my purse to mop my brow. It was horrible. Haven't they heard of air conditioning? I'm glad I never worked at that bank.
After doing all my necessaries, I decided to take a break and have a tea and sandwich in Doutors. I tried their new one, roast chicken and kabocha salad. It was sloppy, but good. When I finished, I walked around the mall a bit then came home.
Fumihiko was going to be late tonight, so I relaxed at home. I spent time on my computer and even prepped a few things for dinner tonight.
It was after 8 when Fumihiko came home, so after he changed I started cooking. It was just pork stirfry again, but I haven't made it in ages. Tonight I did something that I know I'm supposed to do, but rarely do. I let the pan get really hot before I put the meat and veggies in. It really made a difference. The veggies came out a lovely crispy-tender and the meat wasn't overcooked. Hurray. I think Fumihiko liked dinner. He had his with some rice, I just had the stirfry. He did the dishes, although I did say that I would do them. He was quite tired when he came home tonight.
We had a quiet-ish evening tonight. Hubby watched baseball (yuck) and then something else which actually wasn't all that annoying. I taped a new show at 11 that I'll try and watch tomorrow. The Amazing Mrs. Pritchard has finished sad to say. I liked it a lot.
That was basically that for my day off. I spent a lot of time on my computer but got a lot of things done that I needed too. Oh, and one more thing I did today. I made a namecard for our door. We have a big sign on the door with hubby's family name on it, but when I get mail the post office doesn't know if they should leave it here or not. So, today, I typed up our initials and family names, printed it out, and put it in the doorbell holder. Yay me.
That's it for me. Got to go! Night-night.

A belated wekcome back. I am catching up on a week of blogs. The I luv u text message from your husband was so funny but also sweet. I have vented in the past how YVR international gate area sucks. I always can see the national geographic store and better restaurants but am not able to go because its for US departures only. You bring happy news by saying it has improved.
Thanks Lily.
At one stage when I was walking from Domestic Arrivals to International Departures I thought I'd stepped into the Twilight Zone though. There was no one around, no signs, just long quiet corridors. The actual area around the departure gates has really changed. There's a Tim Hortons, Pizza Hut Express, I think a Subway, and a few other things. Really a big improvement. Quite a lot of duty free things now too, but I didn't have any money left for it!
Thanks for the comment...oh and by the way, I linked to your blog today too! Hope it's okay. :-)
