October 16, 2001 - Tuesday
A different kind of day.
I had a day off from work...my moving day. I slept in, and then got up and had breakfast.
It was quite yummy.
I played with my computer a bit and uploaded some new pictures today. They come courtesy
Michelle, from the party in Canada. Take a
look here.
I also went into the office. I wanted to time myself riding to work and it took about
20 minutes which is not bad at all. It's still a heck of a way though. The road
wasn't too busy and it wasn't rainy or anything so it was nice to ride again. However, my poor butt hurts from the bike seat! I haven't ridden a bike in over a year. I
had been dreading a hill that I'd have to climb to get to my school, but I was 3/4
of the way up it when I realized that it was nothing compared to the hills I'd been
walking up in Otaru. Ha ha!
I kept intending to leave the office and get some lunch, but I never did. I went
to see my apartment with Gabrielle and the manager. Gabrielle was in a rush because
she wanted to catch a bus, but the gas man just took his time. I hope she made the
bus.
I worked for a bit longer then Fumihiko called and asked me to come home for supper.
He didn't really, but I thought that was what he wanted so, I left everything and
rode home.
The way home was a bit more difficult as it was 6:30 ish...rush hour in Tsuruoka.
It was also dark and not all the other bike riders use their lights. What a pain.
I did get home safely though and had supper. Yum. Fried Chicken, rice, miso soup,
and some pinkish flowers that I'd never eaten before.
After supper Fumihiko and I went to buy some furniture, but the shop was closed.
We went to an electronic shop and I bought an extension cord with a surge protector
and Fumihiko bought some phone cord so he could extend a line upstairs for my modem.
Whattaguy!
Now he just brought me some Sogenbicha, so I think I'd better sign off and pay some
attention to my hubby!
Tomorrow is my first day of work back in Tsuruoka. Wish me luck!
