Today started with an early morning phone call – the hike that I was planning with Komuri-sensei and Mizuta-san was cancelled due to weather. I was kind of sad about that, but I rolled over and went to sleep, and by the time I was up and at ’em I had other plans. Mr. Hayashi called just before I left for shopping, saying that they had changed their mind and they wanted to do the hike, but it was too late – I was in shopping mode.
After crawling into my cold bed last night and shivering until it got warm, I realized that there is nothing stopping me from just running down to the store and buying an electric blanket. So today I did. While I was out, I picked up a few other things for around the house. I went shopping at the local Target equivalent – Dik. Yes, the store is called Dik. Trust me, I’ve heard all the jokes.
I also went into Ito Yokado across the street to check out the groceries – my store is still closed. The place was a mob scene – the holiday brought everyone out and they were shopping like crazy people. I took tons of pictures of the store – it’s a big one.
