Ugh. Monday.

I keep telling myself I’ll be in Australia in one month having a wonderfully relaxing vacation. I’ve been confronting each day with a list of things to tick off as the day goes along. Sometimes I plow through all the items on my list, but more often than not a few items end up being shunted over to the next day. Monday’s list as written:

Leaper Can Do
Move Mag Po
BW class
FE class
Happy Club
Check CC
Hiro
Kazue-beer bread recipe
Daigo-MD mtg

These are the things I hope to accomplish. On the other hand, I accomplished many things this weekend:

Bread
Dinner w/ Nic
Design Festa
Gym
Xmas Presents

But getting my stuff done on the weekend isn’t the problem. The problem is trying to do all the stuff I need to do at work in the time allotted. Not that anyone wants to read my moaning.

While Nancy was here we went over to Kamakura to see the big Buddha, Daibutsu. I love Daibutsu. It’s always teeming with people, but it calms me just to look at it. I have a large photo of him that is (hopefully by now…ahem Ken) up in the Reno kitchen. I also like this shot I took:

I went into Tokyo on Sunday to mail off a few items at the post office. The main Tokyo post office is open 24 hours everyday and is never busy when I go down there. I prefer to go there if possible to mail packages because they seem to have a better handle on the rules and regulations of mailing items whereas I sometimes have to fill out superfluous customs forms if I mail from my local office. Since I was in the area, I walked down to the Imperial Palace, which was no longer letting people in when I arrived, but I walked around the perimeter and snapped a few photos.

And there’s no way I couldn’t put up this photo of Nancy at Disneyland. We were on the tea cup ride spinning around as fast as we could make the tea cup go and she started to feel a little unsettled. Admittedly, I was a bit dizzy by the time we exited the tea cup myself.
