Today being Saturday, I got to go to the beach with the college ministry group from Chiba. I had lots of fun, saw old friends, made new friends, and overall enjoyed myself. ...That's the good news...
The bad news is that I didn't have a swim suit, so I couldn't go into the water. There were 14 people crowding under the two umbrellas we had, and I feel (and look) thoroughly BAKED! I used 50 spf sun screen, but still I got sunburned pretty badly. I carried my camera with me but did not take a single picture. :( I have figured out that too often I get busy living in the moment and forget to step outside of it and take pictures... I haven't decided if that's a good thing or a bad thing...
I woke up this morning at 7:00 (which is a 'never' on a Saturday) with every intention of leaving the house at 8:00. Well, I got carried away helping grill cute little fish and frying mochi for breakfast and didn't start eating until 8:05. (By the way, mochi is a hard mashed rice cake that you fry in sesame seed oil. The outside gets crispy, and the inside stays mushy. Dipped in soy sauce they are REALLY good!) Then I hurried through breakfast and ran out the door as fast as I could trying to make the 8:12 train to my first line switch... Old story... I missed it... But I was able to catch the 8:16 train and make it to my rapid train on time. I was more than a little pleased! I do need to work on my timing...
I am really tired now although it's only 8:00! Tomorrow is Sunday, and I know they make me tired anyway, so I think I'll go to bed now.
All my love,
Hannah the red :)
