Sleeping in is so nice, especially on cold mornings. I woke up around 8:30 this morning, and then got organized and headed north to Carrefour and Midori to look for a desk lamp and a kotatsu cover for my study desk.
I found both, and I got a great deal on the kotatsu cover, and I think I overpaid for the desk lamp but it’s plenty powerful. I took everything home, hooked it all up, and it works great. I sit in my chair and I can study and stay warm without distraction. It works so well that I spent the next four hours studying Japanese grammar rules, and writing kanji.
For dinner I made up some yakisoba with some of the cabbage that Kuniko’s family gave me, and watched The Village on my computer. That was a strange movie, but I liked it. Good entertainment.
Tomorrow I’m meeting Kuniko in Himeji to go to Tottori, a town northwest of here that sits on the sea of Japan. We’re going with Kuniko’s coworker Risa and her fiance, so it will be fun to spend some time with other people.
