Rainy and now with added thunderstorms.
What a day. It turned out okay, but not great.
I slept in this morning. There wasn't any news on and I was tired, so I just stayed in bed and slept late. I got up and made the bed and got dressed.
Just after 12 o'clock I got a message from my husband saying that he was coming home. He'd taken half a day off. What? Why? I was not a happy camper. I had him all day Sunday, he managed to barge in on my work day on Saturday and I was looking forward to a bit of peace. Besides, he gets Friday off this week as it's a national holiday. Doesn't he ever have to work?? There were a few things that I planned to do, like go to the post office and bank, and do laundry that I have to do when he's not around, because he's always hogging my washing machine.
When he did come home, he spent the first 20 minutes trying to send a fax. Coincidentally, those 20 minutes were when the news was on the TV. Fumihiko is neither see-through nor quiet. After he didn't manage to send the fax, he decided to hand deliver it, but set up a load of laundry in the washing machine, just after I said I was going to take a shower. ARGHHHHH.
I tried to calm down, but it was pretty difficult. I wasn't in a good headspace. After a while I figured out that it was probably down to me not eating yet. When he came back, we went out for lunch and things got decidedly better after that.
I set up the heater in my school and discovered that an ex-student had returned my books. Hurray for that.
We drove out to the mall and looked for movies. There was nothing on except 7 Pounds which I'd already seen (and was not willing to see again) and Madagascar 2, which I just plain old didn't want to see. So, we did a bit of window shopping, bought some nice bread, looked at cheap dvds (DIDN'T buy any!) and then had a nice coffee in Seattle's best.
We came home and watched August Rush again. I really like that film. It's a fairy tale, but it's sweet and wonderful.
We had dinner in Grado tonight. The food was good, the service wasn't. The waiter there has this weird thing where he brings the second course before he clears away the first courses dishes. That means that he's handling clean and dirty dishes and juggling them at the same time. He also managed to ignore our empty water glasses. I told Fumihiko that if we were in Canada I wouldn't tip him. There was a surprise visitor on our table tonight too. I saw my first ladybird of the year on the sugar container. I gently picked it up and put it on the tree in the corner. I would have taken it outside but I was a bit trapped in the corner. I hope it was a real tree!
We came home and Fumihiko started watching something. It was about 11:30 when I said, "Hey, isn't ER on?" It was, so he turned to it. It's set to tape in our HDD anyway, but I'd rather watch it "live". When it ended, we rewatched the episode completely.
Anyway, that's it for the evening. Fumihiko's off sleeping and I should go and join him. Tomorrow I have a bit of an early start at the school. Wish me luck! Night night.

Couldn't you just put some of your washing in with his? That way killing 2 birds with one stone.
I'm not sure why you can't get your other stuff done while he's at home. If i want to do stuff and yasu's home i just go out and leave him home to do his stuff, or he drops me off somewhere. :)
We don't mix our laundry. He does his, I do mine. Don't ask me why, it's not my idea. Besides, his stuff is a lot dirtier than mine...he works outside, etc. Plus there's the whole thing where he never tells me he's doing laundry, I just discover these things.
