Strip

Striping paint.

Doll

Finally disassembled it without cutting the cord. Guess I wasn't thinking. Instead of pulling, all I needed to do is to push the other end in. (T_T)
Finally emptied and put away the suit cases too... But the 25kg FedEx box is still there...

Babysit (3)

Foggy! Can't see! It's been foggy for a while. Somehow I have the impression of Foggy April, not January.
Babysitting went smoothly again. The kids were behaving well. They showered on their own, and then even disappeared upstairs without saying goodnight. Hmm... (Or did they expect me to go to their room to say goodnight???)

On the other hand, thought I'd clean the toaster oven before my brother came home. Totally underestimated the layers of grim. Took 3 whole hours (plus the sinks, though). Didn't get to write any Japanese mail again... (T_T)

Doll... help!

I wasn't paying attention and the ankle hooks went into the knees. Can't get them back out. Hey Miki! It's strung differently! Help... (T_T)

Day timer

Finally got one for 2009. Thanks Andrija for saving my computer!

Emergency clean up

Can't write any Japanese mail. Will have guest over tomorrow so I need to do an emergency clean up. Yup, my room is out of space. Not sure where I'm gonna put the extra boxes. Not to mention the huge FedEx 25kg box that came back as my mom's luggage. It's sitting on the floor in my room, containing my stuff.

Just one...

Wrote only one Japanese e-mail. Aaaargh!!!! Progress on the trip photos is painfully slow.

The dentist's office called again. They're calling every month or so to ask if I'm ready to book a cleaning appointment. Are they that desperate for business? To be honest, I don't like that new office ever since my dentist moved there. Plus, she's been having back pain. (I know because she's also my mom's ex-classmate and family friend. My mom gives her massages sometimes.) Is there any sane person in this world who would choose a dentist with back pain? So I finally got fed up enough to tell the receptionist that I've switched dentist. She was very polite, and told me the new dentist is free to contact them if he or she needs my record. Wow it's that easy? I should have said it a long time ago. Oh well.

Somehow I'm in a bad mood. Maybe it's because I didn't complete all the tasks I want during the trip. Maybe my day and night are still switched. Maybe I'm just constipated. Maybe my back has gone beyond salvage. Maybe my hair needs washing. Maybe maybe maybe...
