That Friday Feeling

Tuesday...Wednesday...Thursday - Friday.  Yeah for Friday. 

I teach each Wednesday and Thursday evening.  One class lasts for 2 hours, the other 2.5 hours, so by the time Friday rolls around, I am extremely enthused about having all the pressures of being ready for class and making class interesting and exciting raised off me for at least a few days or so.  Phew. 

Teaching is a lot of work.  Especially if you want to be good at it.

I think that really anything in life is like that.  Well, most anything.  That is worthwhile anyway.

My sister just left from doing several hours of laundry.  Which means I got the bathroom cleaned, my bed made, closet organized.  Her washer at home was leaking water, so I became the lovely laundromat.  I always clean when she comes over - it's just easier for me to get things done if someone is around. 

Ever since I returned from Japan - the water that empties out of the kitchen faucet hasn't exactly been clear.  While I was away, my landlady replaced the old, leaky faucet and I came home to a shiny, new, non-drip-drip-drip kitchen faucet.  Which was nice, until I turned the water on.  It hasn't changed since so I started buying my drinking/cooking water at a local gas station where you can fill a gallon up for 30 cents - osmosis water.  Sounds fancy.  That or I get my water from my bathroom sink.

2011 is the year of thrift stores.  I have decided that every article of clothing I purchase must come from a thrift store or someplace similar.  There are two exceptions: socks and underwear.  I don't think I need to explain myself here.  Two great reasons for buying thrift is 1) money savings, obviously - and 2) creativity and originality will be enhanced and challenged. 

I am going to buy some water.
