Day 108 5:30 Came Early This Morning!

 I gave myself an extra half hour of sleep this morning, but it was certainly hard to pull myself out of bed after yesterday's road trip.  I was whipped.  The taxi that showed up to get me this morning was a sight for sore eyes.  Check out the picture on the trip blog.  I fiddled with the camera, changing the battery and taking a picture out the window in hopes the driver would not think I was being rude, though I was, of course.  The seat covers were fuzzy fake fur in a design that may have been meant to be tiger, but not one I've ever seen in a zoo or on Animal Planet.  I have to tell you that it was good to get out of that taxi.  It looked clean, but it gave the same feeling as a cheap motel, and I try to avoid them as well.

 Anyhow, we had our next to last classes, learning about emotion words.  It's hard to define the slight differences between some of the meanings and interesting to learn some of the ideas the class members had about some words.  Just as I had assumed that certain Lithuanian words meant the same thing as a word that sounded similaar in English, they assumed that English words that sound similar, like sign and sigh mean the same.  My acting out of some of the words got a few laughs.  I was particularly proud of my temper tantrum, sobbing, giggling and frowning.  The disgusted sigh plus rolling of eyes wasn't bad either.  The yawns weren't acting, I was just sleepy.

After class, I skipped coffee and came straight home.  I drug or dragged myself up the stairs to the flat, said "hello" to Del and lay down for a short nap.  This short nap lasted 2 1/2 hours and didn't do much toward perking me up.  Del is too smart to wake me up from a nap unless specifically instructed to do so because it can get ugly, so I just slept on and on.  Tomorrow will be my do something or do nothing day.  I'll decide tomorrow.  Yea! And we are planning a quiet week end.

We had left over chicken for dinner with sliced tomatoes.  That was that.  There are no leftovers for tomorrow.  How does grilled cheese or bacon, lettuce and tomato sound?  I haven't seem the bacon man  since before Easter.  I do miss the convenience of take out, especially the delivery part.  I just want to see a smiling face at my front door holding a container of something not good for me.
