A trip to the office

T5B: 1) I got to talk to Jerod today. 2) I have a lot of my exit paperwork done. 3) I got one of my lessons done for this week (just need to fine tune the other one). 4) I had a funny experience with Japanese food today. 5) I was able to clean my apartment.

basal temp: 36.09

Morning:
- woke up (ALMOST did it - 84%), read scriptures
- showered
- swept and mopped my floors, partially cleaned my bathroom and cleaned the kitchen sink
- ate breakfast (a banana and saltines with honey ~ didn't feel like cooking after that cleaning)
- let my hair dry
- got my lunch and laptop and biked to the office
- did as much paperwork as I could (some stuff I need to wait on)
- went home around 1215

Notes: The air at the office felt hostile to me. :/ I sent them an email letting them know I was coming, but I walked into a meeting so they were not happy with me. :/ Sorry. Other stuff too.. I am in trouble I guess. :< I try to be a good employee! And though I was asked to fill the paperwork out ASAP, I was treated like, "You want to do it NOW? You're inconveniencing us!" Maybe it was just me ... maybe they were putting out a different vibe. I don't know. I asked to eat lunch with them and I was told, "We eat lunch at 13:00, you have to wait." Well as I was finished and I felt like I was unwanted I decided to take my lunch and go home. It made me feel kinda lonely. :C Oh well.

Afternoon:
- made myself "chiken raisu (chicken rice)"
- messaged Jerod
- finished my book

Notes: DUDE JAPAN! So... I bought this "chiken raisu" mix at the store last weekend. I thought it was weird that the picture of the rice was red. I figured it was a type of spanish rice. Since I couldn't read the instructions, I cooked the rice my way. I heated some water and threw in the herbs. I then cooked the rice in the herbs and added the sauce when the water had all boiled off. ..... It was ketchup. STRAIGHT KETCHUP. And not only that it was more like CATSUP! (The very sugary ketchup) I was flabbergasted. No flavoring, nothing. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised as they send packets of "fancy sauce" (KETCHUP) with you when you buy pizza. I think the Japanese like ketchup better than soy sauce! It was INSANE. I put some cheese on top and the rice was.. ok. I asked Jerod if he wanted me to save the other packet for his arrival. An unequivocal no. Weird.

Evening:
- talked to Jerod some more
- played some games on my phone
- ate dinner (spice yakisoba)
- watched the Cowboy Bebop movie
- started another book :) (dang it I'm almost out now! lol - been through one library in the city and this is about all of the other one)

Notes: Hope you had a great Sabbath and have a great Monday! XOXO, A

blast from the past: I dated this military guy, Josh, for a couple weeks. The first time he was at my house, my Uncle Pascal and Aunt Laura were visiting and had some of their kids over. So practically my whole family is in the front room talking and catching up. Well my mom yells for Josué (loudly), "JOSH!" And Josh, my date, roars back, "WHAT!?" (We were in the office) I walk over to the front room and there's a room full of wide eyes. "He was just kidding!" Oh man... oh man... LOL Good thing I ended up with someone much more gentle than that!

I've complained before about Japan being dusty - this is ONE WEEK'S dust! Not only that - I don't wear shoes indoors, so it's not like THOSE are tracking it around. It's insane! PLUS you can't see all the other dust I brushed out of the broom into the trash!

A funny I found online.
