I’m getting ready to head off to work this morning. \u00a0Outside there is a smattering of rain and near-constant thunder. \u00a0It looks like it’ll be a strange weather day.<\/p>\n
Today Kuniko has a special day off. \u00a0It is the foundation anniversary of her school, and like all schools all over Japan, the entire staff has a holiday from work. \u00a0Unfortunately this year it falls on a Wednesday. \u00a0Still, good on her, and she can stay in today while I trudge off to work in the storm.<\/p>\n
Last night on the way home from work there was apparently an accident on the tracks in Okubo (that usually means a suicide) and so all trains heading that direction were stopped at the station just before mine. \u00a0That meant that a huge amount of people were disembarking where I was, and trying to find a way to go west like me. \u00a0I settled on a taxi to get me to Okubo, and then ended up eating at the Thai restaurant since Kuniko was going to be attending a seminar. \u00a0The Thai food was good, too. \u00a0Very spicy – I had a good layer of sweat on me as I walked home.<\/p>\n
OK, I’m off to work. \u00a0Hopefully this weather will blow off by the time I head home…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
