Cloudy but thankfully not rainy today. A little cooler, but still humid.
When I woke up this morning the first time I had a headache. I got up for a few minutes, watched some news and then went back to bed. After that, I overslept! It was quite late when I woke up again, I just kept turning off my alarms and going back to sleep. When I got up again, most of my headache was gone. Yay.
After I showered and such, I started working on dinner. I wanted to make a creamy horseradish chicken dish that I found in my cookbook today. One problem though is that I didn't have horseradish. Oh well, I substituted wasabi. I also didn't have as much chicken either, but didn't care! I browned the chicken, but it was too early to put it in the slow cooker, so I put it back in the fridge for a bit.
Just before I cooked my brunch, I heated up the chicken in the frypan, then put it in the crockpot and poured my chicken bouillion/wasabi mix over it all, closed the lid and hoped for the best.
I left for work a bit late and had to really run. I got to the school fairly quickly and got set up. I was finished a little bit before my student came. Whew.
I had 3 back to back classes today, so I was fairly busy. The first one was fine, and she left when she was supposed to, but the second classes students came late, and then their mother was late picking them up. When she arrived, I couldn't get her to leave! Finally she did and I was able to move the furniture in the classroom and take care of some personal business. All of the classes went fairly well and it was nice to see everybody .
After classes, I did paperwork and was just looking forward to ten minutes of downtime, when my hubby called. A student had cancelled her Saturday class and should he come and pick me up right now? No thank you! I wasn't finished yet. I managed to put him off by another 10 minutes and got the dishes done, and finished changing clothes.
We made a quick run through the grocery store. My recipe needed cream cheese and cream for the sauce. Of course hub had to get himself some happoshu. At home, I went into cook mode and added the cream cheese to the sauce. It was supposed to melt, but it took it's own sweet time. I added cream and then a thickener, set the table and put all the stuff out. Hubby made coffee, but only cause I asked him to do it. He did give me a big glass of ice water which was something I didn't know I wanted until he did it!
Anyway, the chicken was scrumptious. It was really tender and falling off the bone. The sauce was nice. If I do it again, I might add more wasabi. I like more of a kick to it, but it was really good. Tomorrow I'm hoping to use the sauce on my omelette! The broccoli was nice too. In fact the only bad thing about our dinner was that F was watching the news at the same time, so I had it blaring in my ear and a husband who was more interested in the news than the meal. Sigh.
After he did the dishes, he did some translating for me and my school. I had asked him to do it two weeks ago, and I was getting desperate for it. I have to ask a student's mother about changing her child's text. Anyway, it's done now, so I'm happy. I'll give it to the student or his mother tomorrow.
That was my day. My headache is still around in the corners, but it really hasn't been that painful all day. In fact, I only took pain medicine once, the rest of the time I didn't need it. Too soon to know if it's ending or I'm just getting a respite.
Night night!
