 Wednesday - Cloudy and cool

Yesterday was a pretty good day. After I blogged, I had lunch and then my sister and I headed out to do some shopping. We visited a couple of stores but didn't have any luck. Then, she went to the Superstore to get some groceries and I checked out their clothing section. They had plus sizes and some quite good things. A few things were on sale too, so I ended up with some sporty leggings in a psychedelic print, a sports top, a blouse and a pair of pyjama bottoms. I was quite pleased.

We had to go to another grocery store too as some of the ingredients she needed were hard to come by. I picked up some snacks, some decaf coffee pods and some lunch meat. I'm really enjoying the wonderful range of lunch meats available here. Japan's are rather dull and not very tasty. 

We came back to the house and after a while my sister cooked dinner. She roasted some chicken breasts and served them with some orzo, and asparagus. I had some lettuce with mine too. They were very nice. 

They made me watch another episode of Inside Man and then I basically went to bed. I had woken up at 6:30 that morning and hadn't been able to really sleep longer. I was tired.

I woke up around 2:00am today and stayed awake until 5ish, then went back to sleep and slept until 7:30 or so I think. Jetlag is a drag!

I do have plans to see my bestie on Friday. We'll have lunch and maybe go and see a movie if is is possible. We'd both like to see the new Branagh film, A Haunting in Venice I think it is called. 

It's been getting a lot cooler today. Next week it should warm up a little, but it is a big change for me. We don't have the humidity which I am so glad about. It's nice not to sweat all the darn time!

Okay, well that's enough. I want to get back to my vaycay. I'll try and update tomorrow but may skip Friday.

Until next time!

Sounds like your having a lovely time on your vacation, despite the jet lag! The clothing options alone make it worth it, I'm sure. When I lived in Japan, I was a size med/lg in the US (much bigger now! Lol) and it was hard to find much that fit, even in Tokyo-- and that's before you consider that I am also 9 inches taller than the average Japanese woman.

This is so true! I'm not tall, but I am a plus size. I can find some clothing in Japan, but it is hard, and usually not very stylish! It also has proportions all wrong for me. It's great to be able to go into stores and have a choice, not just take the things that fit!

Thank you for visiting!
