I tried to go to bed last night and get my hubby to come with me, but he was firmly fixed to the chesterfield. Gah. I went to bed anyway, left the door open for him and the light on. I fell asleep briefly, but he muttered something so I got up, gave him one last chance, then went into the bedroom and closed the door. I slept well after that! I could have handled the lights, or the muttering but not both. I had to work today too, so I really didn't want problems getting enough sleep.
I did a washroom run in the morning and he woke up and decided to go to bed after that. I got up for good after nine and did my shower thing. He snoozed on.
We had a nice brunch at Gusto and then I was dropped off at my school. I checked over my lesson and also made sure that I had everything ready for the student. She came and we had a good lesson. Today we finished the textbook. She's learned so much, and she's changed a lot too. In the beginning she didn't speak a lot, but these days, she's really trying to tell me about her life.
In the time between the lessons I got busy. I did a load of laundry and started taping the new cds. I prefer to use a cassette in my classroom, rather than a cd player. I find it's very hard to program the cd player properly. I set the recorder up and did paperwork as well. Yay for me. I can honestly say that I used my time rather well today.
At 5 pm I was ready for my student, but she didn't come. Hmm. After 10 minutes, I gave her a call. She was going to the circus with a friend. Say what??? She told me that she'd cancelled her lesson with my husband (true, the lesson for August 1st...) and I had emailed her to confirm the rescheduling to August 15th. She had replied, confirming the date of her next lesson as August 15th. Hmm. Houston, we have a problem. She booked for next week, but I'm not planning to give her a make up for today's lesson.
After calling her, I set up for Tuesday's first class and then called my husband. He came to get me and we went to McDonald's drivethrough. I got a tea and a piece of chicken, he got ice cream. We were on the road, but to where? Tamasudare Falls, that's where!
We drove for hours in the dark and then arrived. We walked up the mountain a bit. It was pitch dark and we didn't have a flashlight, so it was a bit scary. But, we got there finally, and it was beautiful. The falls are the highest in Yamagata-ken, and during this month they light them up at night. It was very cool. I took a few pictures, they aren't great, but they are okay.
We came back via the Cocos at Mikawa. At home, we really had a quiet night. I watched Celebrity Apprentice and thought about how the people aren't really that famous.
F went to bed, and really, I'm heading that way too. I'm quite tired and I don't know what we're going to be doing tomorrow.
Talk to you tomorrow. Night!
Tamasudare Falls, Sakata, Yamagata-ken
