I woke up today with Kuniko sleeping next to me which is the best way I know how to wake up. We had a breakfast from some of the goodies that Kuniko had brought last night.
Kuniko is attending a wedding on Wednesday, so I lent my camera to her to take pictures. We see this as a great opportunity to do some research about our own wedding. I also gave her some homemade guacamole and some plain tortilla chips to take to her family. I made the guacamole spicy and garlicky for me – I hope it doesn’t freak them out. I’m not worried about Kuniko – she’s tough – but I hope it doesn’t give the whole family bad breath.
I walked with Kuniko to Tsuchiyama station so that she could meet her sister and go together to the hospital. I returned home and I’ve been resting again. I did a little laundry, and tried to just stay inside and take it easy. It’s been raining on and off, and occasionally a loud group of thunderheads will blow by. The first one that went by was louder than any thunder I’ve ever heard – it sounded like there was a battleship off the shore of Futami firing right over our apartment.
Ms. Miyake was nice enough to carve a pumpkin for me again this year, and so I’ve been lucky to have a jack o’ lantern again. I don’t think I’m going to get any trick or treaters this year again. I’ve got some candy here, just in case.
Dinner tonight was some Japanese comfort food that Kuniko had brought over – 玉åãŒã‚†, kind of like an egg soup with rice – it was very good.
Right now it’s really raining hard and there’s thunder and lightning every once in a while. I hope it’s clear tomorrow because it’s back to work for me. I think that we have no students at school tomorrow, but I’m not sure why. Could be an easy day!
