Getting Out of Bed

January 26, 2010

Last night I used the heater before bed. My bedroom was very warm. I didn’t use the heater while I was sleeping. When I woke up, the room was very cold.

I sleep with a nice down comforter, so I was very warm. I didn’t want to get out of bed.

Also, I was very tired. My warm bed felt very nice.

If I didn’t have to work, I think I would sleep until noon.

Is your bed warm? Is your bedroom cold? Is it difficult to get up in the morning?

New Car

January 19, 2010

In March I scrapped my car. I was sad to get rid of it but, it was very old. I decided to buy a newer and safer car. It has taken a long time, but finally I ordered a car. About the end of January, I hope to get it.

The car is a yellow Honda Fit. I want a color that is easy to find in a parking lot. White or black cars are very common, but yellow is rare.

Soon, I will have a car. The Fit is very efficient. It will be cheap to drive. Also, it will be nice on rainy days and cold days.

What kind of car do you drive?

Warm and Comfortable

January 14, 2010

Japanese homes and apartments are often cold. The front room in my apartment has no air conditioner to heat the room. I want to do paperwork at my desk in that room.

My friends use kerosene heaters. They are very smelly. Also, it is troublesome to keep a tank of kerosene at the apartment. So, I bought a gas fan heater.

The gas fan heater is easy to connect. It gets warm very fast. It doesn’t smell. I don’t have to keep kerosene. I am very happy to have the new heater.

Now I can be comfortable while doing my paperwork.

Missing Posts

January 11, 2010

Since January 5th, I have been writing a new post every day. However, today I noticed that some of them didn’t appear. Because of a software problem, they got sent to a temporary place. I was sad, but I made them appear today. I hope you can read them.

One post was from February 5th last year. I wish I had noticed it sooner.

This evening the weather turned cold again, but I have a new hat. It kept me very warm. Take care and stay warm.

Sleeping in the Car

December 3, 2009

I live in Ise and I work in Tsu. Everyday I ride the train to work. Sometimes I have activities in Tsu in the evening. On those days, I can’t return to Ise until very late at night.

After work and before my evening activities, I need to do something. Sometimes I wish I could take a nap, but I don’t want to sleep outside.

Today I drove to Tsu by car. After work, I will take a short nap in the car. It will be much warmer than sleeping outside. Have you ever slept in your car?

Dinner Invite

November 17, 2009

Tonight I was invited to eat some very tasty food for dinner. Unfortunately, I will go back to Ise for rehabilition after work. I will have to eat dinner in Ise. I am a little sad.

This morning I rode my bicycle from the station to school in the rain. My hands were very cold and wet. Tonight I will look for my gloves. Now that it is Winter, I need to wear my gloves while riding.

Two Weeks Early

November 15, 2009

My friends birthday is in two weeks, but I can’t see her that day. Today we spent the whole day celebrating her birthday. Some people think it is strange to celebrate so early, but I think it is a good idea.

We ate lunch at a restaurant near Matsusaka Castle. It is in an old Japanese home. The food was very tasty and it was only 950 yen per person.

I was happy because the weather was so sunny. We went for a nice walk after lunch.

Rainy Wednesday

November 11, 2009

Last night there was a lot of rain. All day today it has been raining off and on. Because of the rain, all of the trains were delayed. Because the trains were late, I had to cancel plans. I was sad.

Tonight, I have a photo society meeting. I want to submit photos to a contest. At lunchtime today I walked to the photo store in the rain. I ordered three photos. After work I will pick them up.

On days like this I wear a rain jacket and rain pants. Also, I carry a backpack, so I have a pack cover to keep it dry.

The rain is very nice because it cleans the air and helps plants grow, but it is difficult for me to travel in the rain.

Tonight, a Class

November 10, 2009

Two times each month, I teach an adult class at night. All of the students are young workers. They are very interesting people. They have many different jobs: librarian, Kindergarden teacher, web site designer, office worker, …

Whenever I teach this class, I get home very late at night. Also, I need to fill my time after work and before the class. Today, I hope to practice playing shakuhachi at a shrine. I am worried about the weather. It looks like rain.

If it rains, maybe I will go to a friend’s house.

Sunny Weather

October 30, 2009

Recently it has been very sunny. The weather is also very warm. At school, the office is very hot. It feels very strange, almost like summer.

I started wearing short sleeve shirts again. I wear a second shirt over the short sleeve shirt. If the classrooms are too hot, I can take off one shirt.

I hope it isn’t too cold where you are.
