Judy gets up feeling pretty good after a decent night\u2019s sleep.\u00a0 Our room is really hot at night.\u00a0 We had to leave a window open last night in an attempt to balance the heat (coming from the floors below us).\u00a0 She was almost out the door before I woke up. \u00a0Most mornings I get up when she does, and stretch and eat.\u00a0 Don\u2019t know what happened this morning.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been stalling writing the blog entries for the last few days, hoping there would be some pictures.\u00a0 I finally got some pictures of the party, and Judy\u2019s performance last Friday, so no more writing excuses.<\/span><\/p>\n The radiators in our bathrooms will not turn off.\u00a0 The knobs are non-functional and we can\u2019t turn off the heat in those rooms.\u00a0 I contact Lisa, our leasing agent.\u00a0 She calls UHN, and they send a technician.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think he understood the instructions.\u00a0 He probably couldn\u2019t understand I wanted the heat off on one of the coldest days so far this winter.\u00a0 He fiddled with some pipes in an outside closet, said the Chinese word for \u201cgood\u201d, and left.\u00a0 The radiators are still going strong.\u00a0 I guess I\u2019ll try again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m also working on changing our travel arrangements for late January, the Chinese New Year Holiday\/Break.\u00a0 Judy\u2019s school is out for 10 days (my school is out for a month.\u00a0 We had planned a trip to Phuket, Thailand, with the last few days in Bangkok.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know how much of the political turmoil in Bangkok is in the news in the US?\u00a0 CNN here is full of stories on the protests, and the tense situation, etc.\u00a0 The prime minister at the center of the controversy dissolved the congress yesterday, and announced elections will be held while we were scheduled to be in Bangkok.\u00a0 It would be a truly wonderful historical experience, and all, but we\u2019ve decided to stay on the beach in Phuket, and not dodge Molotov cocktails in the capital city.<\/span><\/p>\n Judy ate with the girls tonight.\u00a0 They went to Pete\u2019s Tex Mex.\u00a0 She gets home full of stories about everyone\u2019s upcoming Christmas travel.\u00a0 We\u2019re working on ideas for Judy\u2019s Spring Break in April.\u00a0 We\u2019ll have 5 days.\u00a0 So many countries and so few holidays.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Judy gets up feeling pretty good after a decent night\u2019s sleep.\u00a0 Our room is really hot at night.\u00a0 We had to leave a window open last night in an attempt to balance the heat (coming from the floors below us).\u00a0 … Continue reading
