Today was a busy day for me, and I saw no reason to sit it out due to my throat pains. I had a reasonably good day, and I played a fun game in three of my classes. The students tried to guess what I had hidden in a bag, and the winner got a prize. The prize was always something goofy – I gave out a wrestling mask, a skull rattle, and a pair of cheesy sunglasses.
The teacher wasn’t so happy that I gave out the rattle. Sorry! When I left the classroom for my next class the student was happily rattling away.
I got in lots of study time today, and also made it home between rain showers. The temperature has dropped to a much more pleasant level, and it’s great to leave the windows open and let the cool air come through the house. I’ve upgraded my blanket to the big thick one, but I haven’t yet had to pull out the electric one.
I made up some sushi at home for dinner, and afterwards invited Jane over for a beer. We sat and caught up, and then realized that we were only a few steps away from a 31 Flavors. For the first time we walked over to Ito Yokado together, and exchanged shopping tips while we ate ice cream and walked around. It was fun, but I definitely don’t want to make it a habit. There’s too much ice cream for the amount of exercise we expended to get it.
Now I’m back at home and getting ready for bed. Tomorrow night another typhoon is coming, but it will hit late at night, so I probably won’t miss any school. Bummer!
