Different Day

This day has been at bit out of the ordinary.

I worked in the library yesterday, as usual, but I have been preparing for our annual inventory, and that's quite a process. I'll spare you the gory details. Anyway, I didn't get things all finished yesterday, so I decided to come in this afternoon since I'm still resting my ankle (thus no water aerobics). I'm here now and should be leaving in about 20 minutes; just waiting for the last few things to print.

Jan invited the boys and me to join Stephanie and her for dinner today at a place in the Sentani mall. We planned to go about 12:30 so that Jan could leave from there for water aerobics. Well, since I was planning to come in to the library I decided to give Jason his dinner early and just leave him home with Enda so I could come straight to the library. That plan worked great!

Stephanie, Zachary and I left home just after noon so I could do some quick shopping at the supermarket in the mall. Jan had gone to town earlier to get a haircut and run some errands, and we met up with her at the supermarket. After putting our groceries away in our truck Zachary and I went to scope out the third floor of the mall; we've never been up there! There's a big video arcade, where I know a lot of expats take their kids. There's also a food court (all Chinese-Indonesian cuisine), and a very big book store just opened recently. It's huge! I'll have to go again sometime when I have the time to just browse.

Dinner was just fine. We had some fried rice, fried noodles, and two tofu dishes. The portions were pretty small for the price we paid, but the food was not that bad. Stephanie, Zachary and I left from dinner to come up here to HIS. I've been working on inventory while Zachary's been doing his homework. He lost the privilege of going to the pool today because he had a very nasty attitude this morning! Anyways, he's always more than happy to come to the library. Stephanie has a computer class here each afternoon...

So, my print jobs have all finished now, so I'm going to get home. I've not heard directly from Eric, but Bob has sent a few messages to Jan. They're all doing well. Very cold! Things are still on schedule for them to return home tomorrow!

Beach trip still on for Sunday.

Stay tuned...
