Saturday - Warm and sunny

A nice, fairly productive day.

I went to bed after watching another one of Fox’s ridiculous reality based shows last night. It was something like Love Lessons and basically a guy (no idea who he is and why he was doing it) told a lot of women why they couldn’t get into relationships with men. This one’s too needy, that one dresses badly, etc…It was awful. So why did I watch it? Probably for the same reason people slow down near an accident…they can’t believe what they are seeing. I couldn’t. Urgh.

Today I got up, but it was hard! I showered, spent a bit of time on le old computer, then F and I went out for brunch. It was just Gusto again.

F dropped me at work and I got busy. My first class went well. The student was a lot of fun and we covered all that I wanted to. I love it when that happens. After she left, I started defrosting the freezer in the apartment. I unplugged it and put the frozen stuff in F’s cooler box that I’d borrowed. It was a great idea. It only took a couple of hours to get the ice out of the freezer. I thought it would take longer. It did make a mess on the floor though. I broke a big sheet of ice taking it out of the freezer and it fell on the rug underneath. I put the rug in the shower room to dry and cleaned up the mess.

My second student showed up on time and we had a lesson about having a successful conversation. It was quite an important topic for her as she isn’t great at conversations, for all of her talent at English. She got to listen to a conversation with one word answers, just like she gives me all the time. Hopefully some of it will stick!

After class I cleaned up and did my paperwork. I called F and he picked me up.

We had dinner in a cafe we found a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed it. After that we came home.

At 11:30 I put on Top Gear, then followed that with Project Runway and Models of the Runway. The latter was pretty vapid, but not as annoying as America’s Top Models. At least not yet.

For the last hour or so, F has been watching more UFC crap. I seem to be getting a steady diet of this every night. Not too happy about it.

Anyhoo, tomorrow we’re both off work. Hubs wants to go fishing and I have no real objection to it. We’ll probably be out most of the day. Wish me luck! Night.
