Jan. 10th, 2006 12:13 pmMy poor, poor sister went to the emergency room with a kidney stone this morning. I feel really bad for her. They sent her home with some painkillers and hope that she will pass it in the next 24 hours.
I reserved my plane ticket this a.m.. $485 for a one-way ticket to Nagoya. I guess after I buy it there's no turning back...
Not that there ever was. There's something really permanent about a plane ticket though. I have until the 24th to pay for it, this is good because I am flat broke.
The weather here is crazy today. Super high winds, intermittent rain. We've had 23 straight days of rain. Honestly I don't mind it. Like a lot of folk, I live here for a reason. I love our gray dreary winters. I also love logging towns (not perhaps, the destruction of our forests...), old flannel shirts, millions of coffee shops, big mountains, oceans. Uh-oh here I go again, gushing about my home-state.
I will confess that I did curse the rain a little the other day when I wore my leaky shoes. I had soggy socks all day. When I got home my feet looked like two pink prunes.
I just uploaded the Japanese characters from the Office XP cd onto my work computer (my Mac-daddy laptop already has them), so now I can practice my katakana and hiragana at work. yay.
