Saturday - Snow, clear, rain

A good day.

I got up a little late, but still fine, showered and then spent a small amount of time on my computer.  After that, F and I went to Gusto from brunch, followed by a trip to my school.  Yay.  We went early to shovel snow, since there had been a lot overnight.

We each took a different area and quickly got the spaces clean.  We heard the snowplow zooming around the area, but it didn’t come to my street before my first class.

My student came on time and we had a good class.  She’s doing so well.  Today we talked about the alphabet and how to spell things.  She knows the alphabet, but the actual spelling of things out loud was something that she hadn’t done much of before.

After her class, I did paperwork and relaxed for a bit.  Then, at 3 I went out to the parking lot for a check.  The space had snowed under a bit, but worse, much worse, the snowplow had blocked our driveway entrance. Ack.  I shovelled it and got it back open, then quickly re-did my parking space.  I went into the school a few short minutes before my class.  Time came, but my student didn’t, so I called her.  She said she’d come, but a bit later.

I waited for my student, and did a little reading.  She came with about 10 minutes left in class.  We chatted, did a little business, checked schedules and then she left.  

I finished up rather quickly. I’d been at my school for 5 or 6 hours and I wanted to go out tonight.  I did paperwork quickly and then the dishes.  Finally, I called F.  No answer so I left a message.  I called a few minutes later. Rinse and repeat.  I texted him.  Nothing.  Finally, a mere 45 minutes after my first call, I called him on the apartment phone.  He was there, with his cellphone in his pocket.  For some reason his phone didn’t ring or vibrate.  Hmm.  This really ticked me off.  

He came to pick me up, and we made a quick stop at home to check times of movies, then headed out to Mikawa to see Looper.  We had a quick bite to eat at the food court and then saw the movie.  I liked it.  They had ideas!  This was not a movie I’d seen a million times before.  It wasn’t perfect, but it was entertaining and a little thought provoking.  

We came home via Mosburgers.  We were both a bit peckish.  At home, I watched quite a bit of TV, including the start of the first Celebrity Apprentice.  Poor David Cassidy.  My old idol.

That’s about it.  F set up the bread maker for tomorrow, but I’m going to sleep in.  I’m quite tired, so I think I’ll finish up now and get some shuteye.  Got to go.  Night.
