How do you feel on Thursday evenings?

By Thursday evening I am completely beat! My weeks look something like this time wise:

Monday - my classroom 1:00 - 8:30 (mostly free in the mornings)
Tuesday - my classroom 2:30 - 7:30 (again, mostly free in the mornings)
Wednesday - YMCA 9-12 (sometimes, like yesterday, I have to stay until 2)
                   my classroom 3:30 - 7:30 (sometimes 8:30)
Thursday - my classroom 10-11; 2:00-4:30; 7:00-8:30 (I leave in between classes to go home to                
                rest or to Curves, etc)
Friday - my classroom 4 - 7:30

Needless to say Wednesday and Thursday are my longest days. I am mentally and physically exhausted by the end of Thursday. I am so thankful for my super easy Fridays lately.

February is going to be a tough month for me! My coworker is out of the office for 3 weeks so I have to pick up a few of his classes and be in the office a lot more than I usually am. I hope I can keep my schedule straight and stay caught up on stuff at home during that time so that I don`t go completely crazy!

On another note, I love all the seasonal flavors of chuhis here. Chuhis are kind of like wine coolers I guess, but they taste so much better! By the way it`s pronounced chew-high. The flavor I`ve been addicted too all winter was strawberry (they only sell it this time of year) and now they`ve got the spring flavors out! Tonight I`m drinking one called La France Heart which is a mixture of La France pear flavor with peach liquor! It`s delicious! I am thinking I will have to stock up on them because I know come about April or so I won`t be able to find them!

OK, it`s almost time to call my sister and then go to bed early!

This week`s goals

Goal #1 -　ｒｕｎ It`s Monday morning here and I`ve got my first run of the week done! My goal is to get out and run everyday this week M-F and maybe on Saturday too. From Saturday I`m going on a 2 night camping trip with 14 students from the English conversation school where I work. I`m hoping it will be fun, but who knows... This morning I set my alarm for 6:00 to get out and run before Koichi woke up, but that didn`t happen. I ended up getting out of bed around 7:40. I made breakfast so Koichi could eat and then I packed his lunch while snacking on the watermelon that wouldn`t fit in his lunch box. I considered not running since it was already after 8:00. but I decided to just get out there and do it and now I`m glad I did! Goal #２ -　ｅａｔ　ｈｅａｌｔｈｙ　ｍｅａｌｓ & track food About to make some breakfast now. I`m thinking I`ll make a green smoothie and have 1/4 of an avocado and some sliced tomatoes on the side, may even throw in an egg. Lunch will most likely be chicken taqu...

TGIF

I love Fridays! Thursdays are pretty long for me and I have a few tough classes and then on Friday I have a really easy day with good kids and almost the entire day free. Plus, the weekend is near! Yesterday I was lucky to finish at 4:30 in the afternoon. I had to do some shopping for our upcoming camping trip so I texted my friend Kazuko to see if I could drop by her place. She said yes and I picked up some take out curry and headed over. We had dinner and talked and I played with her kids who are so adorable. It was a nice break from the kids I get to see everyday! I needed to get away from my everyday routine so it was a good visit. Here`s what I`ve got going on today: 1) fold and put away laundry (I`m bad about folding and leaving!) 2) clean kitchen and dining room table 3) Swiffer floors because they`re gritty with volcanic ash 4) exercise at 9:00 (that will make 3 days in a row) 5) Face Time with my sister!! I love planning things to do on the weekends. So far this wee...

Headache -> Cancelled plans

I was supposed to have friends over for a 鍋 (hot-pot) party tonight. I`d invited Kazuko`s family and Miki`s family and we were all looking forward to a fun evening eating, drinking, talking and laughing. Unfortunately I have had a headache since yesterday evening so my plans were cancelled. I thought it would be better when I woke up this morning, but it wasn`t. I went to work at 9:00 for a lesson and thought some coffee would help, but it didn`t. After work I decided to suck it up and go to the gym to work out thinking the exercise would clear my head and take the pain away, but it didn`t. After I came home I discussed with Koichi that I would take some medicine and if my head was still hurting around 3:00pm that I would contact both friends and cancel the evening. Around that time I got a message from Kazuko that her son had a runny nose and that he and her husband would stay home because she didn`t want his germs to spread to Miki`s 8 month old baby. So I made the decision then to g...
