For a guy that did nothing all day, I sure got a lot accomplished. I was talking to my parents this afternoon and my dad asked me what I did today, and I couldn’t recall anything useful that I did. Now as I sit down to right this, I did manage to do a fair amount.<\/p>\n
This morning was the monthly apartment cleanup at 8 a.m. That means I couldn’t sleep in, but the way I’ve been sleeping lately it wasn’t a big deal. I went down and went to work. The nice thing about the cleanup is that it’s for an hour, and not a minute more. I signed in, did the work, grabbed a free milk coffee, and went back home. Melanie skipped the cleaning again – this is the second time. Since she is leaving, I think she’s decided to just skip the whole thing. She’s short-timing already and it’s only March!<\/p>\n
Once I got back up to my apartment I cooked up a big omelet with bacon, cheese, and Crystal hot sauce. I ran two loads of laundry and hung out my big blankets to catch some sun out on the porch. Afterwards I chatted with my family on the phone for a while, and then started laying the groundwork for my taxes. They are a little more complex this year, but I should be OK – there is an exclusion for U.S. citizens earning money abroad. Cool!<\/p>\n
I ran down to the store for some pork and cooked up a stir fry with some vegetables I had laying around. It turned out OK, but the vegetables were still a little firm after frying. I need more practice! I got a nice email for Miss Kageyama, and it sounds like she’ll be back in town tomorrow. We are going to celebrate White Day together, but I’m not sure what we’re doing. I got her some chocolates, some “Finding Nemo” pencils, and a book full of English words that are a little unusual – I hope she likes them. <\/p>\n
I’m doing some cleanup around the house just in case Miss Kageyama comes by tomorrow – it’s amazing how messy things get when you’re sick!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
