Sunny but humid.
Today was an okay day, for the most part. I got up at a decent time, watched the news (hurray!) showered, that kind of thing.
I've been looking forward to getting the bimonthly magazine of my women's support group for the last couple of months because I had written a new column for it. However, when the magazine appeared today, my article wasn't in it. I didn't receive any explanation from the editor so I don't even know if it was an oversight or a deliberate omission. If I had been told before the magazine arrived in my mailbox I might have been less disappointed. I'm now rethinking whether to even bother with the next column I had planned.
For my lunch today, I reheated the last of the stirfry from last night and then put that in my omelette along with the usual cheese and ham. It was so yummy. I really enjoyed my lunch!
I headed off to work around 5 and made a detour through the drugstore. I needed a few things for myself today. I got busy at the school.
My two classes went fairly well. Afterwards, I was getting ready to do my paperwork when Fumihiko called. I told him to go home and change because I wasn't ready to leave yet!
I called him back later on and he came to get me. We went to Marumatsu because it was so late when I finished and not many places were still open. We had an okay but not great meal there. When he was paying, the waitress asked him about the points on my card and he decided to cash them in. I was quite ticked off as I had been saving them and I didn't want him cashing them in. So now, I have a stupid 500 yen coupon that I have to keep track of. When they first brought the point card out they were giving good prizes away at higher point levels, which is the reason that I didn't want to have a 500 yen coupon. ARGH. Men are so annoying at times.
After a quick dance around the grocery store, we came home. Fumihiko put on some horrible Japanese show again. It really bugs me because I had the feeling that he might actually want to spend some time with ME rather than craptv.
So that's it. I'm done. Feeling quite ticked at the moment. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day, although I highly doubt it.
Night.

Hi Helen, I followed you via Nay- = ) Isn't it still warm and humid? Gesh when will fall finally kick in?
I hate running or playing tennis outside on humid days..
I'm quite far up north and it's still 24 or 25 in my apartment when I get home at night...kind of unbelievable.
By the time I cycle to work I'm bathed in sweat. Not very nice at all!
Thanks for commenting!
You probably mentioned the magazine before, but I'm wondering what sort of magazine it is. Is it support for foreign wives of Japanese men or just women in Japan in general?
If they don't publish your article, you can always post it here on the blog so we can all read it. :-)
It's for foreign wives of Japanese men.
I'll wait and see if I get a response from the editor first. It's not that it's a really deep column or anything, but I thought it would fill a niche. It could have just been a mistake, but it would be nice to hear it from her!
Ooo a Magazine just for us!!!! Where can I subscribe?
You have to join AFWJ...and then you get the Journal every two months. I think you're on MIJ right? AFWJ does have a yearly membership fee, but if you're interested you can check out AFWJ here.
Thanks for the comment ;-)
Oh.. yes.. I am on MIJ (Strawberry) I'm Strawberry, the woman/gal who puts her foot in her mouth...but not often as of recently... I rejoined again, well in the process = )
I'm pretty excited to meet ACTUALLY meet some woman out there I like to surround myself with people, and friends. I'm in Central Japan (so bloody hot here) Nagoya.. TGIF, had an early day today, so I can catch up on blogging/ e-mails, cleaning...
I got mine today. Too bad you're not in it because I would've looked it up :( hope you get to the bottom of it and it's just a mistake.
It seems to be Mee a Bee. I heard back from the editor and she was more surprised that my article wasn't in there than I was! I think it was a software glitch, so you can look forward to a double column in the December one!
I was going to blog about it later! :-) Thanks for the comment.
