This morning it was exceedingly hard to wake up. Kuniko and I get up pretty early, and usually somebody goes out there and makes lunch for the both of us. Sometimes it’s one of us, and other times it is both of us. This time, it definitely wasn’t me. I wasn’t even aware that Kuniko had gotten up, made lunch and taken a bath when she woke me up.
I don’t know why I was tired, but I headed off to work and found a pretty relaxing sanctuary there. The student teachers were buzzing around, and the I had just a little bit of studying to do to fill my quota of vocabulary. I spent almost two hours poring over travel guides for France and Italy, because everyone knows half the fun of a trip is planning it out.
I did take the time to call the guy I interviewed with on Saturday and officially told him that I am going to keep looking. He was very nice about it, and told me to keep in touch – maybe someday down the line. So, now, full steam ahead to “Another Job Land”.
My classes today went really smoothly, and before I knew it I was out the door and heading home. I picked up some ingredients for an attempt at gumbo, and sliced it all up and put it in the rice cooker. We’ll see how it turns out in about an hour.
My mom called with some bad news – my grandmother passed away today. They had just moved her up to a care facility in Sonoma, and my mother was there with her when she died, so I was at least glad to hear that. I’ll write more about that a little later.
