Kuniko had to leave early for work, so we packed up and I was back on a train early in the morning. The fastest JR train, the shinkaisoku, doesn’t run in my direction that early, so I took the regular kaisoku home, which added about twenty minutes to the trip.
By the time I got home, I was exhausted and took a quick nap. I woke up an hour later feeling refreshed, and since there was a break in the weather I put on my hiking boots and walked east out of Futami towards Takasago.
It was a fairly long walk – I was hoping to go 12 kilometers, but ended up turning around about four kilometers out, since there were some dark clouds on the horizon. As I walked back the last kilometer it started pouring – luckily I had brought my umbrella.
At home I spent some time on laundry, but only a little bit on studying. I watched a movie that I had downloaded Star Trek: First Contact, and I even fired up the grill to cook some beef and grill some onions.
Around 10 p.m. Kuniko called. She had her two houseguests there, and they were planning a trip to Universal Studios Japan tomorrow. They had asked Kuniko to invite me along, and after a bit of checking in my bank book, I said that I would go. It would be a good chance to get out and since I get paid on Wednesday I should be just fine.
Well, I’m off to bed – I’ve got to get up early to meet everyone at the station tomorrow.
