I’m getting ready to head off to work this morning. Outside there is a smattering of rain and near-constant thunder. It looks like it’ll be a strange weather day.
Today Kuniko has a special day off. It is the foundation anniversary of her school, and like all schools all over Japan, the entire staff has a holiday from work. Unfortunately this year it falls on a Wednesday. Still, good on her, and she can stay in today while I trudge off to work in the storm.
Last night on the way home from work there was apparently an accident on the tracks in Okubo (that usually means a suicide) and so all trains heading that direction were stopped at the station just before mine. That meant that a huge amount of people were disembarking where I was, and trying to find a way to go west like me. I settled on a taxi to get me to Okubo, and then ended up eating at the Thai restaurant since Kuniko was going to be attending a seminar. The Thai food was good, too. Very spicy – I had a good layer of sweat on me as I walked home.
OK, I’m off to work. Hopefully this weather will blow off by the time I head home…
