Tuesday - Snowy and colder

An okay day.

I got up this morning but it was hard!  The apartment was cold and my bed was warm.  I managed it though.  Hurray for that.  

I watched some TV and then took my shower.  Before I took it I was watching a documentary about women’s soccer in Iran. It was fascinating.  After my shower I caught the end of it and then wonder of wonders, there was news on in English.  I got to see both the US ABC news and British BBC news.  I missed almost all of SATC and I didn’t care one bit!

I took another nap around 12:15 today. I slept for most of the hour I’m afraid.  I’m not sure if I’m turning into a grizzly bear or if something else is going on.  I even went to bed early last night!  Well, early for ME. 

I got up and started making my lunch.  Today I had a lovely omelette. I had a cheese and shrimp one and it was great.  I haven’t had many omelettes lately…I miss them.  After lunch and then dishes, I set out on my way to work.  And immediately came back in the apartment to get my watch.

It took a while to walk the distance. It wasn’t bad out there, just a lot of new snow.  We hadn’t had too much until today.  I made a stop at a drugstore to pick up a few things then continued to my school. 

I dumped my bag and then hit up the parking lot to shovel snow.  It was light and I got my space cleared.  Then I did a bit from my space to the building.  Then, I did a little at the front of the building.  I went into the school and proceeded to get ready for my class.  I forgot to turn on the water pot until it was almost too late.  A little before my lesson I went outside again to check the parking space and there was a car parked in it and a guy in front of it on the phone.  

I was a bit ticked off and asked him in English to move his car.  He told me in Japanese that he was one of the cleaners (I think). I said I didn’t care and to move his car because I needed the space at 5 pm.  I didn’t clear the space which I pay for so somebody I don’t know could park there!  He finally moved his car.

I went back into the school and got a call from my student.  She wasn’t able to come today.  Something had come up at work. Sigh. I was really hoping she’d come so that she’d be in my parking space!

Since I had the time free and I don’t feel right about leaving early on her dime, I decided to do some bookkeeping.  I got out the receipts and my bank books and finished up to the end of November.  I’ll have to update my passbooks before I can finish off 2012.  Hurray for me.  

I called F and he picked me up.  We had a nice dinner in Cocos. It was surprisingly cheap tonight.  Neither of us had anything too expensive, plus we had a discount from our card and a 500 yen coupon. Yeah!

We came home via the grocery store.  We got more flour since we’ve become bread-making fools and other things.  We’re planning on having a nabe tomorrow night, so will go back for more stuff after F finishes work tomorrow.

We had a quiet night in.  F set up the bread maker for tomorrow. He seems to really enjoy waking up to fresh bread! I watched the new season of Criminal Minds and then turned off the TV.  

Tomorrow, I’m not sure what I’ll do.  I have a lot of things that I could do, just not sure what I will do!  Wish me luck with that.  Night.
