Aliens and Chipmunks
Jun. 17th, 2008 08:09 pmI am almost a registered alien! I made it down to City Hall today to alert the authorities to my presence, and managed to cause great consternation when I tried to explain to the man at the Health Insurance counter that I'm only moving into my new place on Saturday and so if he sent my card by mail tomorrow, I'd not be home to sign for it. He called over another woman to ask what he should do, then they called over a third person (who spoke some English) to explain what I'd mostly understood already but wasn't quite sure. Finally, they'll just mail it next week.
After that, I headed over to my apartment to see how Operation Tatami had progressed. They've gotten the old ones out, and the new ones have yet to arrive, so the floors were bare. I also went on a recon mission to the supermarket, which I can see from my window. It's a bit more expensive than Spunky is, but not too much, and the selection is much better. Supermarket sushi, here I come! XD
I've calculated that it's about a 50-minute walk from the apartment to work. That means that I won't be leaving home that much later than I do now, but dare I hope I'll have killer legs ere long?
Some days, work is like being in the Cute Overload Zone. One of the little girls has the roundest chipmunk cheeks ever, and she's so cute I just want to eat her up. Today they were practicing tracing sentences such as, "I see a blue flower," (and they had to colour the accompanying drawing of the flower blue, of course) and I asked Chipmunk Cheeks if she knew what her sentence said. She looked carefully at the drawing and declared loudly, with the most adorably proud smile, "I see a brown peanut!"
I was all, *sparkleheartsrainbows* "I WANT TO TAKE YOU HOME WITH ME AND GNAW ON YOUR CHEEKS AND HUG YOU FOREVER!!!" *falls over twitching from Teh Cute*
