I’m starting to feel much better – every day is an improvement. Less nasal activity, which is a big relief. This morning I tried to sleep in but I wasn’t too successful. I slept until about 8:30, which is pretty good considering I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night a couple of times.
Today Miss Kageyama came over to visit – she’s back from Shikoku. She had some interesting stories to relate about the ceremony and some of the traditions. I’ll just say that they are much different than what I’m used to in the U.S. I gave her some gifts for White Day, and she gave me some souvenirs from Shikoku – famous udon noodles, and some orange juice made from Shikoku oranges. I’m going to do a blind taste test with Tropicana soon to see if I can tell the difference.
We cooked up some spaghetti together – she did the sauce, I did the noodles. We even split up making the garlic bread – she crushed the garlic and toasted the bread, I made the butter garlic spread. I popped open a bottle of Italian red that I picked up at Carrefour. It was actually not too bad. After dinner we had some of the chocolates and played Japanese Jenga, which is the same as regular Jenga except that the instructions are in Japanese. It was a fun night and I’m glad that we were able to spend time together.
Monday is going to be an easy day at work – Tuesday is a sumo wrestling match, and Wednesday is Korea.
