Hot and sunny.
When I roused myself this morning I got a bit of a shock. I had overslept by about an hour. Some of my alarms had gone off, but I must have turned off the alarm function on my phone rather than hitting snooze. Sigh. It was a dumb thing to do as I didn't have a lot of time this morning. I showered quickly and did the internet stuff I had to do.
I made my brunch and then headed off to work. I only had one class today and it went well. We didn't get very much done though. The student was in a very chatty mood, so we talked about a lot of things. Foods we like/dislike and also about coins and money. I was just tying up the lesson for this week when the doorbell rang.
I checked the monitor and noticed that it was a woman in a uniform, and she said she was from the local Koban. Ack. Now what? I excused myself from my student, and went to the door. It wasn't a problem really. She was confirming all the information that I had given last year to a male officer. She even had my business card stapled to my info. I was really happy because she could speak English fairly well too. She even asked me if she could study at my school! I told her that she could call for an appointment and I'd talk about rates and fees with her then.
I finished up with my student then, and spent a bit of time reading the newspaper and relaxing. Then I headed out. I first went to the craft shop. F wanted a scarf, so I thought I'd check out the wool. I didn't have the pattern so didn't buy any. I also realized I hadn't asked him what type of yarn I should use. I left the shop without buying anything and headed to the drugstore next door. I hacked around a little, bought a few things and then headed home. F came home about 45 minutes after I did.
After a bit of relaxation time, we decided to have dinner. We went to a restaurant that we went to once a couple of months ago. They are quite famous for their curry and their ramen apparently. F had cold ramen which he liked, but thought was too small, I had curry spaghetti. Basically regular plain spaghetti with Japanese curry on it. I quite liked it and F and I were plotting how to make it at home.
We visited a grocery store and I decided quite unexpectedly (to me at any rate) to make dinner tomorrow night. It'll be my usual pork and veggie stirfry. We came home and vegged more.
At 11:15 we watched Desperate Housewives. I thought it was a really fun episode, but F went to bed on it. He's so tired these days. I feel a bit sorry for him.
And, in case anyone is wondering, no I didn't tell F about the Police Officer's visit to my school. He threw such a stupid tantrum about it last year that I decided to save myself the aggro this year.
Gotta go. Night!

Why would he have a tantrum about the police visit? They do it regularly and it's not malicious or anything. They also do it to everyone.
Strange.
Last year, just a little after I had applied for my permanent residency a police officer came to my school while I was teaching. F thought that the officer was there to check up on me, but I knew that he was there on a random check. The officer was as surprised to see me as I was to see him.
