At this moment Mr. Kishi is playing with my cell phone camera trying to take a good picture of a prepreg board as he can not find the office digital anywhere. His cell wont send large pictures but mine will. Hopefully it is what he needs.

This morning Li forgot to take out the garbage. I will admit that I forgot to remind him. By the time I headed out to work the damn garbage had already been picked up!! I then proceeded to ride my bike all over the place looking for a dumping spot that hadn't been picked up yet all while trying to get to work on time this morning. I ended up going to my old apartment dumping spot. It hadn't been picked up yet!! UGH! Thankfully the garbage didn't stink and no one caught me illegally dumping. It is really stupid here! If you dont live in that area you can not dump in that garbage spot! It is all the same taxes!!! Some of my friends who accidentally dumped in the wrong spot have been yelled at and have even had their garbage bags returned to their door steps by the local neighborhood narks. Completely ridiculous!!!

Mr. Kishi got the picture from my cell and it works great.
It will now be attached to a report for a customer. Ahhh... yet another good deed done.

Today is my last day of work. Tomorrow is Christmas.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

I will scan in this years New Years card tonight or tomorrow. I was pretty exhausted after work yesterday so probably tomorrow. There are a couple of people in Canada who have not received their card yet as they moved and I dont have their new address. I hope to fix that up with my Christmas call home tomorrow.
Do you realize that this is the first Christmas since moving to Japan that I am NOT working. I have worked the last four Christmas's as Christmas here is a date day and not a holiday. This year Christmas is a Saturday and Li unfortunately has to work. Kim is planing on doing dinner tomorrow though. I have to get a hold of her tonight to find out what she wants me to bring. That will be nice.

So ya it is my last day of work, and I only have three classes, yawn, until about mid March.
I had originally planned to work almost all of January because I had thought I did not get paid leave and because I was worried about being bored. I thought it would be no problem. I am only an English teacher how hard could working and being pregnant really be.
Well my boss really pushed me to take the holiday as it is company policy but not law. I gave in when he said I got paid. Turns out I will actually make more money not working than if I worked because insurance pays me for Saturdays and Sundays as well. COOOLLL!!!! One of the perks of paying too much for a good insurance plan.
I still thought, damn but I will be bored.
That was until this week.
I have been sooooooo dammmnnnnn tired this week. Getting out of bed has been the hardest thing I do alllll day. I am actually almost sleeping all night, so my bladder is killing me when I do wake up. I have been so worried about not having anything to do in January that I have this list of things to do tacked onto the wall. Well now I have made sure that I have scheduled NOTHING until basically 2 in the afternoon because any movement before 11 is out of the question. It is before 11 now and the only thing I have done today is come to work and deliver the mail. Literally. I am sitting here writing my blog and am not considering any other movement at this moment in time. Although I am thirsty and need water. hmmm.
----
Lasat night I had a minor heart attack when I opened the mail.
I got our credit card bill. OH MY GOD!!!!
I TOTALLY FORGOT!!!
I had remembered that I had paid for Li's Canadian visa paperwork but had totally forgotten about the Tokyo doctors trip that we had to do before. It was all in the same month. AUGH!! My eyes popped out when I saw the Grand total. Good thing I was already sitting on the toilet when I opened it. ugh! I quickly checked our bank book. No problem, everything still all safe and ok just not anticipated, so the balance is going to drop a tad lower than I had wanted.
Then Li mentioned that he would like to go shopping at least one day during his New Years holiday to find himself a birthday present just for him. I can not deny him that. I have given myself a massage and a pedicure for my personal Christmas present, so I guess we can get him a birthday present.
Now where should we go shopping, hmmmmmm. I need to talk to the guys about good men's stores. hmmmm

OHHHHHH!!! Because it is my last day of work for a while DO NOT email me at my sumibe address please!!!! ONLY at my hotmail addresss!!!! I can not access the Sumitomo email service from my house computer.
