I slept pretty solid but since I went to bed late I got out of bed about 30
minutes after the alarm. I didn't spend much time at home before saying goodbye
to Eriko and heading off to work. I was semi-productive in the morning, but not
fully engaged. Eventually I got more into the bug fixing I was doing and became
relatively productive before my team heading out to Pesos for a team lunch. We
welcomed our latest two employees (one hired very recently, the other a few
months ago), which was nice. Back at work, there was a regularly scheduled
engineering meeting in which my name was mentioned (although forgotten at
first). After that I wasn't real productive, but the time did go fast. I then
went to Japanese class and it was nice to see Hideki. We talked about my
company and that was challenging -- describing what a technology company does
in Japanese. ;) I'm starting on a new book (intermediate level) which is a good
sign of progress, even if I don't feel I'm making as much as I should be. I had
another hour at work, but wasn't real productive. I got home by about 6:20.
Eriko was still making dinner because she got a late start; she had been
talking to her parents on Skype. She was in a pretty good mood. I watched a
little TV and did some other odd things while waiting. Dinner was yummy and
then I did dishes. We watched some TV, went to Safeway, watched some more TV,
and then I started to read a Japanese book. I worked on finances while Eriko
showered and then I showered. Before bedtime, we shared some potato chips
together. Eriko was in a noticeably better mood.
