Well, it's Friday night, or the wee hours of Saturday morning, to be accurate. Just got in from hanging out with some old, good friends, the best kind of friends, the ones who know you and have known you since far enough back to understand who you are now and how you came to be that person. Lea, her husband Mike, and Andrew. I've known them about half my life.
I got back here Tuesday morning, arriving at 8 AM, which was a little Twilight Zone-ish, since I left Osaka on Tuesday morning at 8 AM. Of course, that was before I crossed the international date line and all, but still. Didn't do much for the first three days, just sitting around the house, hanging out, trying to 1) recuperate from my jet-lag, and 2) readjust to not drinking coffee. Maybe I shouldn't have done both at the same time, but I think that now, after three days, I'm doing ok.
I've seen a lot of my family, and of course my niece! She's as adorable as ever, and thanks to Skype, she recognizes me and isn't so timid about being around me. She takes a while to warm up, of course, and still prefers her mom, dad, grandma, and grandpa to me, but I can accept that. The little tyke is amazingly cute, though!
Today I went out, did some shopping, trying to buy some fun/throw-away reading material for Japan. Paperbacks there run $10-15, so I'm hitting the used bookstores like a maniac. I'll give them another run through before I depart.
Haven't hit any beaches yet, but will do so next week for sure...and try to get on some real rock for some rock climbing exercise.
