Tuesday was Valentine’s Day and during my work day not one piece of chocolate was given to me. Since I’m on a new floor with no co-workers and no female students there was really no reason to expect it, but Kuniko must have felt sorry for me. Last night she brought back a big bag filled with the handmade chocolates, cookies, and candies made by her students. So last night after dinner we set into them, wolfing them down with some Merlot as backup. Kuniko told me about each student as we ate their chocolates, and after four or five pieces I was pretty much over any chocolate cravings I’m likely to have for the next few days. But still, chocolate remains.
We’re getting close to what is turning out to be Kuniko’s birthday weekend. We’ll be going out on our own tomorrow night, we’ll attend Kuniko’s friend’s wedding on Saturday, and then we’ll go over to Kuniko’s parents on her birthday to celebrate. Should be fun!
