It's good to have a break every once in a while, but too much of a break can be a bad thing. Today was a holiday, and even though I enjoyed sleeping in, in the end it seemed like kind of a waste of a day. Sure I went grocery shopping, did some book reading, vacuumed, and worked on my computer, but it just doesn't feel like I did that much, just sitting around and eating junk food. Maybe because in the end, even working on a computer isn't really much work at all, just move the mouse and stare at the little icons on the screen. And also being the first real holiday in awhile, it probably messed the schedule which my body had been used to for the past few months. On the plus side, I did finally reserve a hotel room and got my baseball tickets for Koshien, so I should be set to go for the Osaka trip next month. Well, back to school tomorrow, although with summer vacation and all, it will be a little more relaxed than usual. I've got to work on the elementary school kids' summer English classes as well, so there will still be plenty of time to be busy yet.
In other news, I keep holding on to hope that somehow my car will pull through for the next day, week, month, whatever. In an act of faith, I bought new windshield wipers and a new seat cover and floormat to try and spruce up the car somewhat, I also got the brake light fixed and got some rust painted over so at least it looks a little bit better. But as long as the engine keeps leaking in this heat, I don't feel like I can depend on it very much at all right now. Hopefully, it can get me around town at least for a little bit more. And hey, I've got a new seat cover!
