Tuesday - Cooler and a little rainy
I went to bed rather late last night and then didn’t want to get up this morning. However, I did. I got up and went downstairs and had breakfast. It was fine without being fabulous. I think I went down a bit late and there wasn’t a lot of food left, but it was okay.
I came back up to the room and honestly, went back to bed! I snoozed for around an hour and then got up, dressed, and left the hotel. I went over to the station and walked through the building. I went to the Kajo building and waited for the person I was meeting to finish her work. She texted me and I went outside. Now, I had told her that I was wearing a green coat, but I had forgotten to ask her what she was driving! However, we found each other!
We ended up going for lunch to an Indian restaurant. We learned that we have mutual friends and I even used to work for a while for the same company as she does! Lunch was good and conversation was non-stop. We talked so much!
Finally we had to leave the restaurant and she invited me to a second place. We went to a suburb of Yamagata city and spent more time together talking and getting to know each other. After a while we left, made a pit stop at a convenience store, and then she drove me back to my hotel. That was lovely, and unexpected!
I came back into my hotel and relaxed for a while. Around 8pm I went out again and went to the izakaya around the corner, the chicken one that I’ve gone to the last two years as well. I had some yummy food there, paid, and went over the road to a convenience store over there. I came back to the hotel and my room, then texted my husband.
F called me and we chatted for a while. Things are okay at the house but K is a bit worrying at the moment. F also wasn’t able to get a replacement part for the washing machine so he has to try again somewhere else. Sigh. He’s still sounding quite sick, the poor thing.
Since my call, I’ve basically been watching some YouTube and relaxing. I finally fired up the water pot and have been drinking some hot rooibos tea. Yum. I’ve missed it. I’ve drunk a lot of iced rooibos, but hot is nice too.
I’m going to try and go to bed a little bit earlier tonight as I want to get up for breakfast tomorrow and then go out so I can catch a bus to Sendai. Today was a nice, laid-back kind of day. It was great meeting someone too, and getting to know her. Yay.
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
