Looking At Pictures

Once again it was up early this morning, take a nice hot bath and then head outside into the cold winds. Now that we have a heater I can’t imagine how I survived without one. For a while there I was living without an electric blanket, too. What was I, nuts?

I showed the pictures from the wedding to various people who were dying to see them. Tsutsumi sensei, Miyake sensei, the school nurses, and various other people really enjoyed looking through the book. It was fun the first few times, but after a while I got a little tired of seeing and explaining the same pictures. There’s no end in sight, though. It is fun to give people a taste of what the wedding is like. Everyone comments on how happy we look. Naturally!

I put in lots of study time today and even though I spent more than eight hours studying I still felt at the end like I could have spent the time better. Isn’t that weird? I enjoy studying so much I’m almost bummed out when it is over.

Tonight for dinner I served up cheese that my family had brought over from America. We had three different cheeses with Ritz crackers and some other little toasted breads. I served it with raw ham and roast beef, and then some vegetables. We also split a bowl of chili beans, and opened up a Nouveau Beaujolais. Success!

Kuniko is in the bath now and I’m waiting my turn. It’ll be early to bed tonight, and then off to the cold winds again tomorrow morning. We did buy some new warmer underclothes today – maybe that will help a little bit.
