Yesterday was good, but today has been better. Knowing I was good to go from the moment I awoke, I have felt energized. Watched my final M's game of the season (we won, Junior hit another homer, maybe he'll stick around for one more year), did some yard work, did some school worked, marinated meat for the barbecue (now if only the damn coals were faster), am now on a second a second beer (at 5:55 p.m., I think I'm doing OK for a Sunday). Tonight I'm barbecuing a chunk of beef which I actually started marinating last night, a pork tenderloin, and some chicken breasts, enough meat for three or four main dishes over the course of the week. Last night I made spaghetti and meatballs, but froze 14 of the meatballs in two packages for future use as well.
I also have been "tracking" my Beatles stereo box set which I ordered from amazon in the States a month ago (they were sold out). It finally shipped out yesterday, and apparently arrived in Osaka at 11:00 this morning and where it apparently still sits, having been "scanned in". I paid for "premium shipping" and still save $150 over the cost of the box set here in Japan. It's stupid to be impatient after having waited a month, but impatient I am.
Tomorrow it's back to work. I'm actually looking forward to it. I least I can ride my commuter trains without having to worry about catching the Swine Flu. Now it's a case of been there, done that.
