Today

2:59pm CST Friday 7 March 2003

Good day of errands, getting new glasses (1), mailing my Application for Visa to enter Japan (2), picking up Janette's sewing machine (3), picking up Josephine from school (4), visiting TCBY for ice cream! (5), and going to the correct place to get my glasses (6), and go home for a big ol' nap (7).

(1) called the office that was close to Janette's house, went over and was all, "wazzzzah" to them and they're all "????" and it turns out that the doctor we called used to be there but has now moved and a different eyedoctor is in that space. Freaky.

(2) filled out a PDF version of the application, sent it with my Certificate of Eligibility and my passport and a new passport photo (for what, I don't know) to the Consulate-General of Japan in Houston so they (I think) can verify everything and put the visa into my passport. Will it be a sticker or an ink stamp?

(3) not too heavy

(4) not too heavy, either. But she did get to sit on a ladder instead of a seat, and I drove over the curb on Abrams when I was in the right turn only lane.. Whoops!

(5) I was focused on getting the rainbow colored vanilla ice cream with chocolate chip cookie dough mixed in, but they couldn't to that (ice cream will break the mixer, and no marble slab nor cold stone nor plastic thing on which to mix by hand), so after she had mixed soft serve with cookie dough, I requested a blop of the rainbow on top.

(6) I beat Janette by walking once we were within 2 blocks stuck in left hand turn lane traffic. Took a bit to get a medical release form filled out giving Dr Pickering's office permission to FAX the prescription (which they already FAXed) over, but I ordered fly flexible frame glasses. They'll be in ready before I geo to Japan.

(7) :-)
