I had a good sleep last night. I feel so happy and relaxed.
Why?
Because Li got a surprise holiday and I actually got to spend an evening with my husband and have a normal conversation. We haven't actually had a conversation since Monday afternoon when I went home for lunch.
Getting more hours at work is all wonderful for him but the down side is that we never see each other. Literally. Today is Friday. I kissed him goodbye this morning and I will not see him again until Saturday morning when he comes home from work and crawls into bed. So really I wont see him until Saturday afternoon when he wakes up. Then he works again at 5 and at 3 on Sunday. IT SUCKS!! It also makes me feel really lonely.
I come home to an empty house and leave silently in the morning. I go to bed alone almost every night. SUCKS!
Just me and the cat, who has taken up the habit of sleeping with me in the mornings but not during the night.
We need the money, but the effects of that really suck.
I have been very busy though. I have taught 4 private classes this week. The Wednesday night class that I started this week was a hit. I am supposed to only have 4 people in the class but next week I have 7. I am very confused by this and need to talk to Q about it as it is his class that I am filling in for. More students is not really that wonderful as I get paid a set wage and not by person. Not too happy about that. And they are VERY low.

I am finding it hard to find time to study Japanese, though. All day at work is English and then every night is English. I never have the opportunity to speak Japanese any more. AUGH!
I was offered a very easy job at a hostess bar that my friend is opening up. Saturday nights only. Probably get 20$ an hour and it would have been a perfect way to practice my Japanese. I would be talking to lonely old men all night but at least in Japanese putting on a fake smile and boring drinks. Not too hard. I mentioned it to Li and it didn't go over to well. Not allowed to have a job like that and still be married to him. His eyes kind of popped out of his head. Hehehe
I dont need the money, I just wanted the opportunity to speak Japanese.
Anyway, I have a ten minute break so I am gonna have a tea and rest my eyes. Talk later.
hehehe
