As difficult as it was, I spent all day yesterday lounging around my apartment instead of enjoying my weekend somewhere. I cancelled plans with Miss Kageyama to go out for coffee. I’m testing the theory that if I rest up all day, my cold will go away and I’ll feel better. I’m hoping it works. <\/p>\n
I wasn’t totally useless today – I studied Japanese for two hours, memorizing some verbs that have been giving me trouble for a long time. The trick is to use them in conversation as soon as possible – that helps cement them in my head. <\/p>\n
I did a little gardening, too. Andrew (my predecessor) had left lots of gardening stuff on the back porch. I rooted through the pots and tools and then repotted a plant that he had left. It had been doing really well in the shower room. I was so encouraged with this plant that the other day I bought some little tiny ones and some little pots to put them in. Now I’ve got a family of eight here. Usually it doesn’t take long to kill them off – I’m terrible with plants.<\/p>\n
Wanting to get plenty of rest I went to bed around nice, and I only woke up four times overnight, which was an improvement over last night. Hooray for progress!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
