Hiromi’s Blog

It was sunny today and I love sunny weather which makes me happy with no specific reasons.� As I mentioned in the last entry, I am going to Chicago soon!� I can’t wait and it just seems long to wait for the day.� I know I am pretty patient, but I am super excited about visiting Harper.

I exchanged my email address with a newspaper journalist today and tried to make a dinner plan with her, but I realized that I don’t have any free day until Chicago trip.� I guess I have to see her after that.� I do have a plan on all of my day off which is sort of unusual for me.� I work until late on weekdays, so it’s difficult for me to make a plan in evenings, except on my day off.� Oh well, I am getting out of anti-social-ish mode which makes me feel much better.

Oh I made this yummy soup with natural yeast which I made with tomatoes.� It was surprisingly good and I am so into it.� I think that I can even bake bread with this home made yeast, but I don’t know how yet..hahaha…

I went to my parents for two days and tried to relax, but I was exhausted because of my sleeping schedule.� I had to get up early to catch a highway bus and almost missed it and got yelled by the ticket counter clerk….ahhhh…I had a good excuse, but I decided not ot tell him….at my nearest train station, the trains were delayed and super packed, and I had to pass two trains.� It was insane and I saw two “pusher guys” pushed people in the train.� It was the end of rush hours…. “why do I want to be pushed like that?� I can catch the next bus” I thought, but I made it to the terminal just 2 min before it departed.� phew…good job…patting my shoulder, but I already felt exhausted at the beginning of my short trip.

My home town is in a country side, but not inconvenient and not so far from Tokyo either.� this summer, I really want to enjoy fresh herbs, so I sowed some seeds in my parents farm and I will sow more in my balcony after I came back from Chicago.�� I hope they sprout and grow!

On Friday, I fell asleep and slept and slept for longer than 12 hours..perhaps longer than that…from 6 pm to 8 am…ahhh� I thought I started hibernating.� Luckly, I am awake now.� I had my scalp and shoulders massaged on that day before my hibernation.� I just needed to rest, I guess.

Ok..I will take a long bath and sleep.� sweet dreams for you guys as well

I didn’t have a break, but instead I worked a lot and had a stomach problem for a few days and work work work. Some reasons, my work has been crazy busy and so have I. I am doing well though. I called in sick two weeks ago because I could not get up from my bed. My stomach was upsentting like no one’s business. I’ve got a No Show (my client doesn’t show up) so I decided to update my blog. I am going to Chicago in two weeks! It is Harper’s treat and I am super excited to see him. I will stay there for 11 days from June 5th to 16th, so if you live in the area, I would love to see you guys.

Because of Harper’s fancy tech tricks, I am able to talk to him everyday. It has been very nice!

Last Friday, I had my hair cut and permed at my friend’s salon and I really liked how she did it. I met up with Miki afterward and she took me to a cool Izakaya/ Japanese pub. There were a lot of small booths with nice quiet interior with many narrow staircases. She is a really fun person to talk to, and I discovered she loved philosophy and philosophers. She is definitely one of the people who give me hope to look forward to future.

Well. well, I need to go back to my work, but I will update my blog soon. Oh, I will go to my parents for 2 days to sow some herb seeds into my parents farm and get some fresh air.
