I also ordered green beans to take home for Judy, as well as an order of gunbao chicken.<\/p>\n<p>The trip home in the taxi takes forever. I can\u2019t believe how much traffic there is for non-rush hour. At the apartment, Lilly is still cleaning so I put away the food, and start working on my school materials. Tomorrow is my first class day, and I need to make sure everything is ready tonight, before I go to bed. I\u2019ll need to leave at 6:30 am tomorrow to arrive in time to organize the classroom and get set-up for class.<\/p>\n<p>The taxi home for Judy takes an hour? Unbelievable!!! Something\u2019s going on, but I don\u2019t know what. I can track her trip home on the \u201cFind My iPhone\u201d app. I think she could have walked home quicker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today starts much better than yesterday.
