Not much to report this weekend – it was pretty slow for me, but Kuniko was plenty busy. On Saturday she had to go in to school. She got to sleep in a little bit, and luckily I got to sleep in a lot.
In the afternoon on Saturday I went into Himeji to take some pictures of the leaves starting to change color around Himeji castle. It turned out I was a little early – the leaves had just begun to change. Also, the weather wasn’t so good – it was cloudy and threatening rain. The only reason I went out there was because there is rain in the forecast the rest of the week, and it seemed like my last chance.
While walking around Himeji I suddenly started to feel itchy all over my body. It came on quite quickly, and soon I was covered with what looked like mosquito or flea bites. They were all over, though, and I think they were actually hives. I cancelled the rest of my trip and headed home, with lumps all over the place. The was a nice big lump on my forehead, but everything else was under my clothes. By the time I got back home they were disappearing, so whatever it was it was temporary. I must have walked through something. Weird.
Sunday was really mellow. Kuniko went into Kyoto to meet up with some of her old college friends, and I stayed home and cleaned and did laundry. I watched a little TV and pretty much just lounged around the house all day. Rain came and went, so it was a good day to be inside.
Kuniko got home late, but she brought back lots of omiyage from Kyoto. We went to bed soon after she got home to get some rest for the week ahead.
