Today Kuniko was out the door early, and so I threw the first of many loads of laundry in the machine, and set about cleaning the house a little bit. I didn’t do too much because it was so early and I didn’t want to wake up the neighbors. I wonder just how loud my footsteps are down there.
Around lunchtime I went over to Ito Yokado and did a little bit of shopping, nothing major really. The store is still full of Hanshin Tigers mania – the clerks have to wear these embarrassing cardboard hats. I feel sorry for them. It’s really a ridiculous looking hat. I’d take pictures but I feel too sorry for the people wearing the hats.
I watched Survivor, mopped the floor, took a nap, talked with with mom on the phone, and that’s about it. It feels good to relax a little bit, but Kuniko is the one who needs it more than I do. I’m going to try to have everything ready for her when she gets home later tonight, and then she can just relax.
Tomorrow, depending on our energy level, we’ll be heading to Osaka to do some shopping and take in a concert at the Blue Note. It’s the acappella group that is comprised of a few of Kuniko’s friends. There is a chance that we will have them perform at our wedding reception, but they are changing lead singers and we’re not sure if it will be a good change or not. Between the ocarina solos, acappella groups, and speeches by Japanese and foreigners it should make for a very interesting reception. Karaoke has been strictly prohibited.
