May 12, 2009 - Tuesday

Muggy and cloudy early in the day, rainy at night.

An okay day. I got up a couple of times this morning. I got up when Fumihiko was still here. After he left I had coffee and watched the US news. I was thrilled. I went back to bed, but a student emailed me cancelling for later in the week. Sigh.

I got up, showered and then got on with my day. I made radish roses because I hadn't bought radishes in the 12 years that I've been living here and it seemed like the thing to do!

I had my lunch and then headed out to work. I made good time and got there only a little later than I should have! I got busy.

My classes went well, except one student won't come for a whole month after today. I told his mother that if she'd told me I'd have been able to give him a bit of homework for his time away. It's very annoying really. I'm not going to say he can't take the time off, it's because of a school function, I just would like to work on my scheduling. Ack. In between my last two classes I put the timer on and cleaned the bath. I used toothpaste as it was the only thing I had on hand! Worked a treat.

After my last class, I went back to the bathroom and cleaned the room. It wasn't dirty or anything, just dusty and a bit neglected. It's quite nice now. I finished up my paperwork and also my dishes, then called Fumihiko.

He came to get me and we came home. At home, he made us some lovely iced tea, and then after I checked my email, I cooked dinner. We had salad, spicy chicken wings and hash browns. Yummy. I had an unfortunate accident with the radish roses before dinner and two of them went flying. Sigh. I was quite upset.

Fumihiko did the dishes and then we settled in for the night. American Idol part 2 was on tonight so we snuggled up on the chesterfield and watched that. It was okay. While he took a bath I watched a couple of shows about Stila make-up and fancy restaurants in New York. Oh, maybe that's why I'm hungry now!

Not sure if I'll blog tomorrow night or not. We're having visitors tomorrow and it depends what we do with them and where we go. If you don't hear from me, don't worry!

Night.
