rest day 3

Today was another day of not much. I think that’s the beauty of being on vacation. But I did receive some news today that I wasn’t enjoying too much, but was expecting to happen. I was told that the problem that I went back to America to fix wasn’t fixed. I knew that would end up being the case, but I did my best to do what I needed to do. So all that time and money went to waste and I still have the problem to deal with. I know that it won’t be fun or anything, but that’s life right?

So I was talking to family and talking to a whole gang of other people too. It was nice to be able to talk to friends. Some of which will be coming back to Japan soon. And I was finding out who will come back and who won’t come back, so I can adjust my schedule accordingly. I spent the day looking and trying to figure out my Mixi account. I think I have learned a few more things and just adjusted my profile a bit.

I also ran into another problem too. My yahoo won’t let me log on. I mean it will bring me up to where it says how many unread messages that I have, but it won’t get me into my inbox. I’m not sure if it’s just me or if it’s anyone else. But I think that it might just be me since I’m running into a string of bad luck lately. So I was shopping around for a new web browser. I think that I’m going to need to download Mozilla’s FireFox browser, but I need to free up some space in order for that to work. From what I hear, it’s pretty good and reliable without all the security holes in Internet Explorer. I don’t use Internet Explorer now; I use another called Maxthon, which I really like. It’s got a lot of little functions on it and I really like the features and the way it looks and everything. Except that it won’t let me log onto my Yahoo account. I’m up to about 23 unread messages now, but I think that will increase really soon.

I went over to pay rent today and learned a few new things. I learned that there are Snakes in the area where I live. And that the rainy season will start tomorrow. I missed out on a trip to Izu to go to an onsen because I didn’t let her know when I had the day off. I could have gone on the trip with them. There will be centipedes coming in summer and a whole grip of other insects invading my apartment. I learned about the centipede thing the hard way when I was bit by one last year. That wasn’t pleasant… not at all. Then she had to go because she was going to start her Yoga lesson, which I passed on doing. But I think that one day I won’t pass it up. I think that I should give it a try sometime, but tonight wasn’t a good night. I was a bit hungry and wanted to get some grub.

Then I went for a long walk to the train station to get some dinner. I decided that I would hop on the train and go to Ishikawa cho to pick up some MOS burger. I haven’t eaten any junk food for a little bit, so I thought it would be good to take a long walk to work it all off too. It was very good tonight, I’m not sure why. It could have been that I was hungry, but I think the taste was a bit different tonight. I did order something different than the usual though.
