today was a great success, i managed to spend about 120 euros ($150) before i even made it to work. i set up my stuff for fitness yesterday evening, got up at 5:30, went out, and the battery was dead, i really didnt want to wake up all the neighbors, so i went back in and laid on the couch ´till the rest of the heaths got up, then when sonni was ready to go to work, i had her pull the car around to jump start the other one. as the battery has been week now for almost a month, and i have even put it on the charger, but it just wouldnt help. well today i was so pissed, that after i got it started, i went to the next shop and had a battery installed, then i went to aldi, and bought a pair of jogging pants for myself , and a couple of t-shirts for sonni, then i filled up the car for EUR 40.-
americans have absolutley no reason to complain about gas, let me tell you that there! :-(
well needless to say, i was 3/4 hours late to work, and about 120 euros poorer, but at least the car starts now, thats worth something.
Tonight my chinese course starts again, i didnt get the same teacher as last time, shame she was really good, the teacher i have now is really nice, but fairly old, and easily distracted. the last one, really put on he pressure and got the class moving, lets see if we can keep it up. the bad part is, the class is from 7:30 to 9:00 pm - and that on a monday. that really sucks, monday is usually chaotic, and so im happy to be able to relax and watch CSI and Criminal Intent!! but nooo, now i have ten weeks of sucky monday evening chinese classes. since it is already paid for, then i will make the most of it, and afterwards try to find someone from whom i can take private lessons, maybe twice a week, but not on mondays!
now, now, back to work says my concience. more later.
Yo!

Hey, don't feel bad about having to get a new battery for your car. James had to get one for the van a couple of weeks ago, so that I'd be able to get the boys to school if it rained (while he was out of town).
As for gas prices? Anyone who remembers gas being under $1.00/gallon will complain when it reaches over $2/gal. Just like they complain when groceries used to cost $50/week now costs over $150/week for the same stuff. Well, that's life... unfair, but it's life :-)
Love ya bro, give the family hugs for me!
