July 27, 2009 - Monday

Very rainy in the morning, early afternoon, clear at night. Very humid.

I got up this morning just a little after my hubby left. I had a cup of coffee and took a tylenol. I realized that the headache I woke up with is the same one that I've had for about 3 days now. Ack. I think the headache of Christmas past is back to haunt me. Then I went back to bed and slept for a long time.

I got up later, had a shower, and then did my laundry. I usually do it when the mound is about 6 feet high (I'm only exaggerating a little), but today I just thought, why not. I'm hoping the weather will improve later this week and I'd like to go out.

I watched some of the TV from the weekend, even though I'd already seen it, and spent a lot of time on my computer. After a while, I got ready to go out.

About 6:20 my student picked me up. As we were walking to her car, I noticed that my hubby had just come home so I said hello and goodbye.

We went to a little Thai izakaya or snack that my student likes. A few minutes after we arrived, her friend arrived and we ordered. I had lemongrass tea to drink, the others had beer. We had some interesting conversations and hopefully, my student's friend will join my school. We discovered along the way that the bar owner speaks a bit of English, and so did one of the customers. The food was really good. It got better as the night went on. We had spring rolls, salad, grilled chicken, baked noodles with shrimp and bacon and pad thai. I've never really eaten a lot of Thai food. When I went to Thailand I was on Atkins so couldn't eat noodles or rice, and my hubby really doesn't like the flowery Thai flavours. I think he'd like what we had though.

All good things had to come to an end, and around 9:45 I sent hubby a text message to see if he'd come and get me. He would. We paid up and all decreed that we'd had a great time.

I came home with hubby and had a quiet evening in. He hadn't gone for ramen like I thought he would. He had bought some yakitori for himself. Crazy man.

Around midnight, we watched a comedy show from Quebec. It was basically all mimed comedy, so it didn't matter where the comedians were from. F was laughing quite a bit at it.

And that's it really. Tomorrow I'm back to work. I have an early class and then two in the evening. I hope they'll go well. Wish me luck. Hope this stupid headache buggers off too. Night.
