Tuesday - Clear and sunny, much warmer

An okay day.

This morning I woke up to an empty house.  F had already left for work and I hadn’t heard him leave at all.

I got up, showered and watched Speed, which was on TV.  Oh, Keanu…you and me on a runaway bus…Sorry, where was I?  I had decided to go over to my school quite early today, so I had lunch a little earlier than I would normally and left. 

Walking to my school wasn’t too bad today. It was much warmer than yesterday, plus it was sunny and clear.  Snow was starting to melt in places and I felt quite good.  When I got to my school, I grabbed my big snow scoop and moved a bit of snow.  My parking space wasn’t too bad considering how much snow we got, but the walkway by the doors and the bit between the parking and the building were quite deep.  I did the best I could, I took quite a lot of the snow out of my space and put it in the drainage ditch, and even broke the top off the “wall” of snow in my space.  I did leave a lot of the wall up though.  While I was there, the snow fell off the roof of the house next door and fell on the parking space next to mine!  Scary.  There was some ice in there and I imagine if I’d been standing there I would have been hit, and possibly hurt.  It’s a bit strange that the house next doors slope goes over the apartment building’s parking area.  

All told, I worked on the snow for about an hour and a half.  I was busy.  No one else in the building seems to do anything as far as snow removal, unless it directly affects them.  

I got ready for my class.  I had to dry my hair as it was quite wet, but I heated up the water, changed, set out my books, did the usual things even though I was sure my student wouldn’t come.  Ten minutes after the official start of the class, my student wasn’t there, so I decided to call her.  The phone was ringing and then my doorbell rang.  She had arrived!  Yay.  We had a good lesson, and set our schedule for next month.  Hurray for us.

After class I procrastinated a bit. I did my usual finishing up stuff, but I just didn’t want to go home yet.  F had been so angry last night that I couldn’t get up the nerve to call him.  I read through the 4 newspapers that I had at the school, finished my magazine and then decided that I had to bite the bullet.  I left a message, and then he called me back.  He said he’d just got home and would come and pick me up.

Tonight I decided to let him pick where to eat so of course he picked a ramen joint.  His first choice was closed, the next one he went to didn’t have anything on offer except for ramen.  He ate, I watched him.  To be fair, he offered to take me somewhere else afterwards, but I really just wanted to go home so we went to the grocery store for some food for me.  

We came home and I ate dinner.  We didn’t talk a lot tonight.  F is either a bit mad at me still or his neck is really bothering him.  I can’t tell the difference to be honest.  I watched Criminal Minds and then turned off the TV, F went to bed a couple of hours ago.  

Really that’s about it for me.  Tomorrow he has a part day off, and I think he’ll take me to the doctor.  We’re having arguments about which doctor to go to, but we always argue!  Got to go. Night.
