This morning we got up at the crack of dawn to throw in the first load of laundry. With a bit of foresight last night we loaded up the machine and hung out some, so we had a good start. Living together makes for some huge piles of laundry – today’s was a biggie.
Kuniko and I split the workload of cleaning the place up, and Kuniko made up some delicious nabe for lunch. Just as we sat down to eat the nabe, the doorbell rang, and it was three Japanese Jehovah’s Witnesses. They spoke perfect English, and offered me a pamphlet – they wanted to talk more, but courteously left when I said I had some nabe on the stove.
We talked with my folks a little bit on the phone, and soon afterwards Kuniko was out the door and headed to Osaka to go drinking with some of her old coworkers. Tonight I’m going to head over to a dinner party with one of the Denya regulars. I’ll be heading out the door pretty soon.
Tomorrow is the matsuri, so I don’t want to be too hung over for that…
