Made kids reports as fast as I could because I have so many to do and not enough time.<\/p>\n<p>3) went to my day-care outservice, and my co-worker and manager tagged along to watch, because I&#8217;m turning the class over to her.  I played with those kids as hard as I could. lol I always do.  Man, I think I spun and jumped around so much, I burned myself out.  Maybe it&#8217;s PMS or something (I get drained, not cranky, like some women) but man!  11:00 AM<\/p>\n<p>4) went back to the office, put away material. 11:45 AM<\/p>\n<p>5) Went to Lazona shopping Plaza to look for a long, thin box to mail my trophy. I got this baby at K-Grace:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/K-grace-trophy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/K-grace-trophy.jpg\" alt=\"K grace trophy\" width=\"295\" height=\"395\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3599\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s very tall.  Unidy, the homegood store, didn&#8217;t have anything.  And I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll find anything anywhere. Damn! What do I do? -_-<\/p>\n<p>I felt like I was literally going to pass out, so I HAD to get some ice cream.  I&#8217;m trying to lose a few pounds so I can be seen in a bathing suit on Thursday.  Looks like that is NOT going to happen. I do not have a bathing suit body at the moment&#8230;.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/ice-cream-therapy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/ice-cream-therapy.jpg\" alt=\"ice cream therapy\" width=\"336\" height=\"448\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3601\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nPower is more important, baby! THE POWER OF ICE CREAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!<\/p>\n<p>I felt slightly improved, so I mailed a post card at the post office, got box labels (which I probably won&#8217;t use) and then&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>6) went 40 minutes by train to Shinjuku.  It&#8217;s now 1:00 noon.<br \/>\n7) Went to Oshmans&#8217; sports shop to look for my special knee pads I&#8217;ve been using for the past 8 years.  THEY DIDN&#8217;T CARRY THEM ANYMORE! What the FREAKING HELL ;_____;<br \/>\nOh well, that saves me 80 bucks. -_-  Hopefully I can find a cheaper brand just as good in the USA.  Or sponsor?? \ud83d\ude00 \ud83d\ude00 \ud83d\ude00 Mine still work now&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>8) In Shinjuku, went to a Citi Bank ATM to deposit money, because the closest ones are in Shinjuku or Yokohama. I gotta test how to transfer my money overseas online, cuz I get my pension a month after I leave Japan. -_-; Pain in the neck!<\/p>\n<p>9) went 40 minutes by train to Gold&#8217;s Gym, jumped rope, lifted weights for an hour. MUST HULK UP!!  After that, it was 3:30. Want&#8230;to..pass&#8230;.out&#8230; I spotted Mika Nagano doing boxing, but I was too exhausted to attempt conversation. ^^;<\/p>\n<p>On my way home, I remembered that my favorite chiropractor guy&#8217;s day off is today. ~_~  I was sitting on the train, half unconscious when G-san contacted me and asked to have tea, but I couldn&#8217;t even speak English at that point, not to mention high-speed Japanese. hahaha  Man! \ud83d\ude41 I wanted to meet. ;_;<\/p>\n<p>10) Got home, examined my trophy. Maybe something unscrews. So I started twisting stuff, and&#8230;.stuff twisted!  OH BOY! *twist twist twist twist* Two minutes later, nothing came off. LOL I felt like one of The Three Stooges.  Then I turned it upsidedown and found a bolt!  I got my pliers and got it off and then stuff SLID RIGHT OFF a long beam!  Whoa!  I had to take a picture to make sure I remembered what order to stick them back on. BUT YAAAAAY! Now I can fit all the pieces in a box, and the beam isn&#8217;t THAT long cuz I took the bottom wooden part off.<\/p>\n<p>Packed that.<br \/>\n11) Taped up a huge 50 lb box of clothing and lugged it to the post office. I had to put it down 5 times on the way, but the post office is down the street from my apartment.  I mailed it to my new address!  About $100!  I think mailing them like this is cheaper than the 2,000 dollar quote by the moving company. \ud83d\ude00 I hope it reaches my new place safely! ;_;<\/p>\n<p>I watched part of the finale of TUF 14 and then&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>12) 7:00 PM went in to work!  My student called to say she&#8217;d be 15 minutes late, and then showed up two minutes later! Gah, I had to sprint back to the classroom. ^^; <\/p>\n<p>13) got home at 10:00 PM, sat in my massage chair for 20 minutes, and then went to bed.<\/p>\n<p>My back is fsking killing me. ~_~  I think these exercises I&#8217;m doing will help,though, but I woke up this morning feeling like the steel pole of my trophy. ;o; I&#8217;ll only train lightly in the morning and skip Neo Judo. *sigh*  I kind of wanted to work extra lessons today to make extra cash but nothing was available. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is my hastily scribbled to-do list. 1) translated an interview for Brittany into Japanese. 2) work. 8:00 AM.
