Despite being a Saturday, Kuniko had to go to work just like any other day. It was the last day of exams today, and afterwards she had to attend a PTA party. I don’t think it is going to be a wild one. <\/p>\n
I’ll save Kuniko a little embarrassment and not mention how it turned out that she drove to work. I had to get up and help out with community cleanup, but it went fairly well knowing that it is my last time doing it. It was a particulary hot day, and the mosquitos were biting – I came home with seven big bites all over my body. <\/p>\n
Lots of sweat the rest of the day. I ironed some shirts, packed away dishes and kitchen stuff, and sat in front of the hot computer typing away at my journal. The good news is that I made some pickles from some homegrown cucumbers and they make a good cold snack in the refrigerator. <\/p>\n
I didn’t have any newspapers to wrap dishes, so I walked over to the common room of the complex and found a couple of ladies working on a project. I asked if they might have some old newspapers, and one lady ran upstairs and got me a big bundle. They were really nice, and one of the kids that was playing asked me increduously, “You speak Japanese?”<\/p>\n
It should be a pretty mellow afternoon. I’m going to head over to IY to do some shopping for dinner, and maybe enjoy the air conditioning a little bit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
