Hehe yay!

Well, I have to say, today was great. I’m really happy to be writing something positive in here for once in what seems like a great while. I was admittedly a little freaked out when I got to work today. I was kind of in a funk, I didn’t sleep well last night. I kept waking up and I never really felt rested. I went to sleep drunk last night, to fill in the blanks. I went to 亀有 Kameari last night after work to meet up with Hillary and Ash for some sort of student party. I worked at 新松戸 Shin-Matsudo yesterday, which was a blast, and before I went to work I was planning on going to Sean’s little schindig, but Ash told me before I left that Hillary had invited us to her party after he mentioned that I was his roommate. I decided Sean could wait.

I got out there to firetrucks everywhere, in the midst of some sort of emergency. I ran into Ty outside, who I remembered, but not from where. Turns out it was from some night drinking in 柏 Kashiwa. He reminds me a great deal of Carl, from Suttle Lake, in the sense that we instantly got along from the moment we met, but I suspect we have incredibly different political views. He, like Carl, is incredibly intelligent, handsome, and well-read, which means that Hillary, like Jessie (whatcha gon’ do with all that junk?), likes him. Anyway, we all had a great time with like 15 other people at a restaurant/bar drinking like fish, and Ty told me that his roommate is moving out in February if I’m looking for a new place to live…which is very appealing, and I plan to take him up on it. Not that I don’t like this water closet or living 20 minutes on foot from the station or anything, or having a roommate that eats only poorly cooked fish night and day, ruins the floorboards by not drying off after getting out of the shower, and religiously turns the sink into a chum bucket, but, well, I don’t. I could actually get to work faster from 亀有 Kameari, 9 stops down from 柏 Kashiwa, than I could walking to 三波柏 Minami Kashiwa and taking the train 1 stop down.

So anyway, I was nervous when I went to work today. But when I got there, I discovered that I only had one kids’ class, and remembered that I got off two hours early, thanks to my training schedule this week. My kids’ lesson today was amazing. I had three of the little rapscallions, Juniors (1-3rd grade), and thanks to knowing the activities from last time’s nightmare, things went smoothly. These kids were angels. I had such an amazing time, I got to finally just be a dad for an hour. I had the superwicked bestest time of all time. I couldn’t stop smiling for about 3 or 4 hours after that. I’m still smiling, really. If 1 in 3 lessons are like that, I’ll be ok. Any more than that, and I dunno, I might smile to death.

The next two lessons after that actually kinda sucked, but, I wasn’t really paying attention. It doesn’t even bother me that I work tomorrow when I would normally have the day off. Not a lot actually could bother me right now. *sigh*
