Had a headache, burned my toast for breakfast, and had mosquitos in the shower. Fortunately my day got much better after I went to class. It made me happy to teach my students, and my headache went away after I had more to drink - I`ll need to be careful about getting dehydrated here.
In the evening I went on a nice long walk - down the street to the park, back to the house, and then around the block the other way. I wasn`t going around the block the other way. I wasn`t going anywhere in particular, just enjoying the beautiful weather. The weather here really suits me so far. I feel a bit like a lizard. Come out in the early morning and enjoy the sun, hide away during the hottest hours of the day (during my morning class/lunch) and then emerge to enjoy the warmth again. It is kind of funny, but a couple times I have been walking with Japanese people, and they comment on how hot it is just as I am thinking how the weather is perfect. I also like the humidity. We`ll see if I still like it when humidity. We`ll see if I still like it when it gets to the hot part of the summer, but for now it is amazing. The air even has a different smell here, although I don`t think I could describe it very well.
You are living all alone?? :( that SUCKS.

I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER!! Make sure you are drinking lots of water!! I get headaches a lot when I am dehydrated. And it is very easy to get dehydrated in hot and humid summers in Japan.
Thanks for the advice - I really was dehydrated. I drank a lot, and I feel much better. Yesterday and today were really hot, but Sunday it is supposed to cool down and rain.
ReplyDeletePlus class made me feel much better. Teaching is fun, and I really love my students. I have this one cute old ojiichan who will try anything. The others follow his lead. They make me happy.
