July 21, 2009 - Tuesday

Cloudy then very rainy all day.

I woke up early and then got up. I watched a bit of news on the TV, but nothing special. I went back to bed and slept a little bit longer.

I showered and then watched a bit of the weekend's telly. I saw a CSI and then realized I had a movie on the same tape and just enough time to watch it before work. So, I put on The Jane Austen Book Club. I had read the book a few years ago and didn't really like it as I thought they didn't discuss the books enough. However, I do have to say that the movie was better! They talked about the books a lot. Yay. It finished up nicely before I was ready to leave for work.

I biked over to the school. There was an occasional raindrop on the way, but I made it safely. At the school I got things ready for my first student. I had set up for two students back to back, so I put away the unnecessary things. My first student came and we had a great lesson. After her class, I did paperwork, took a short nap, did my book-keeping for last month and planned two lessons for another class. Yay me. My second student of the day came too and we had a good class. We talked about the event at her store, and then went into the lesson. We finished early, so I gave her the task of making sentences about herself using the new vocabulary from the unit. It really worked. She "owned" the words that way and hopefully they'll stick with her a little longer.

After class I finished my daily paperwork, washed dishes, prepped a couple of classes for Thursday and then thought about what to do. I was still quite angry with my husband, but it was raining out. I normally would just go home if the weather was nice, but it wasn't. I decided to call him. I think the weather helped me make the right decision!

He came and picked me up and we had a fast and cheerful dinner in New York, New York. I had chicken. Man, I eat a lot of chicken!

We came home via the grocery store and at home watched Monk. Hubby doesn't mind that show too much. Then he wanted to watch some stuff about fishing which was followed by synchronized swimming. Whatever. It wasn't annoying or brutal, so no problems.

I've had a lot of email to deal with tonight so it took a while to get blog time. Whew. Hopefully I'll be done soon.

F told me on the way home tonight that he's taken tomorrow off. He has to make arrangement to get his International Drivers License and we should go and order/buy Canadian travellers cheques. Of course we have to go to the main post office for that one. I also have a bookmooch that I'm sending so I need to wrap it up. Hopefully we'll be able to get through the day without wanting to strangle each other! Wish us luck with that.

Anyway, that's it for me for tonight. Back at you tomorrow night.
