I woke up just a little sore from hiking, but luckily without a hangover from Saturday’s exploits. I was actually not sore from the Wii, just the hiking. I don’t know if that is a good sign or not.
Sunday I dedicated to cleaning and rearranging our bedroom. I started off by moving lots of stuff out, and then cleaning and moving furniture, and then slowly moving stuff back in.
Midstream I realized that we could use another storage box for all the books that we have, so I made a lunchtime walk to Nitori. It’s a fairly long walk, so when I came back I was feeling pretty refreshed. For lunch I used Kuniko’s new mini-food processor to make a banana pineapple smoothie. Then it was back into the bedroom for more work.
I finally stopped work on the bedroom with just a little bit of work left. I like the new setup, but it remains to be seen whether Kuniko will like it or not. Hopefully it will get the stamp of approval.
For dinner it was tacos, because I had cheese and avocados that needed to be eaten. I sorted through some papers, and I think I’m ready to challenge the Japanese tax office on Monday morning in Akashi. I’ve got to do my taxes by hand, but I’m not sure about the process. I’ll go in tomorrow with my papers and be the dumb foreigner who doesn’t know any better. That should be fun.
With all the work that I did today I forgot to do my daily vocabulary, so I stayed up late knocking those out before heading to bed. I’ll have to be a little more careful tomorrow.
A Kuniko update – she made it safely to the town where they are staying after her long journey on the plane. They spent a busy day Saturday, and Sunday she had a day to relax while the students spent time with their host families. Monday the students will start school, so I imagine she’ll be a little more busy. I’m in touch with her only by e-mail, so it’s hard to get a read on her mental condition, but I think she’s hanging in there.
