March 30, 2009 - Monday

Sunny and warmish.

I had a good morning, although I woke up early because I was cold. I discovered that I'd kicked all the covers off my bed. I got up, turned on the heater, checked out the TV news and then went back to bed. I got up quite a bit later.

The video that I used to tape my weekend TV on had a problem. I couldn't get it to work. It wouldn't rewind, fast forward or play. Oh no. I checked out my friend the internet, got a few solutions, but basically ended up rewinding the tape a fair bit by hand, then trying it. It worked thankfully. I was able to watch CSI New York, and some other things. Whew. I read the newspaper and got a gift for my nephew ready to mail. I putzed around the apartment, but around 2:30 decided it was now or never, so I went out.

I went to the bank first, paid a water bill and got my passbook updated. Then, I headed to the post office where I mailed off my package to my nephew. After that, I got a few things from Sunkus and came home.

I had a quiet afternoon by myself. When Fumihiko came home, I was watching Penelope. He barely talked to me, mumbled something about having to work for the apartment stuff and then put his head down and didn't come up for air for ages.

A bit after 8 I decided that I was getting hungry so I started making dinner. I had a plan, so I knew what I was doing and it wasn't bad. I chopped the tomatoes, shredded the lettuce, set up the coffee pot and then finally got the taco mix on the stove. Everything turned out well and Fumihiko was nearly finished anyway when dinner was ready. We had a yummy meal. Our taco shells were a bit of a letdown though. When we warmed them, they closed! Mine was impossible to re-open, so I smooshed it up and made a taco salad that was to die for!

Fumihiko did the dishes, and then we went out to my school. I set the heater in the school for tomorrow. It wasn't really cold in there, but who knows what tomorrow will bring. Then, we got a few more groceries from the store.

Our evening has been really quiet. Fumihiko did some translating for me for a student's mother and then I let him test out my mouse on his computer. I hate his mouse and have decided that he MUST get a new one. His is really slow and it isn't cordless. Mine is cordless and really snazzy.

Well, anyway, that's it for my day. It was pretty good, all told. I would have liked to spend more time with my husband, but didn't get to. Hopefully tomorrow he won't have so much work to do. Gotta go! Night.
