Odd things eaten today:
Scallop
Leek
Bamboo leaves something or other
Can't wait for:
To see Mom
Doctor Who on Sunday (well, Sunday here)
New theory on Oka-san:
She thinks I'm useless because I'm not domestic. I'm like the Doctor; I don't take the domestic approach. Maybe?
Chocolate left:
None
Money left
...enough to buy a lot of chocolate and sweets
So, the life of Ashley today...is sore. You'll feel it too by the end of this.
I woke up exhausted (I did go to bed kind of late) and didn't get up until almost an hour later than I usually do. But oh well. I figured it wasn't a big deal. But man, was I sore! I had no idea what from. Maybe just a lot of work? Who knows. (Well, you'll know if you read on 'cause I know now.) Eat breakfast (consisteing of the weird stuff above), and then Anan-san says study outside until 9 when work starts. Ok, so I do. Tomato, the dog, is even starting to like me and follow me. He's a cutie!
Anyway, today I mow the lawn. And I don't mean mow the lawn as in like an actual mower, I mean...hand mow the freakin' lawn. Hand mow. Not the push mower, or even (because this would've been too good) the Howcroft's sit mower, I mean hand mow.
Oh, it's going to be a long day.
So, I mow for three hours until lunch. And it was getting HOT. I figured out later how to strap the stupid get up I'm in so that it just covers my legs. But I had to be an idiot today and wear jeans. Not a good idea. It was 20 degrees Celsuis. Which, I think, is in the 80s. Anan-san and Oka-san at lunch (ramen!) that I'm used to this since I live in Florida!
Ummm, yeah, but I don't freakin' hand mow the lawn in it! I'm inside drinking water!
Whenever I did have a break (2 total, not including lunch), we didn't drink water. I'm not quite sure why...
Well, anyway, I did that...all day. And it's not even totally done. I mean, it's mostly done, there's only a few patchy areas that aren't done because I got ADD and wandered off with the mowing. It's like half-dirt anyway...so I'm not sure if I'll have to finish it. I just hope I don't have to mow more! Weeds, I can handle...mowing...it's painful. My shoulders and back are aching! But, I did have my iPod, which was good, but the earpiece sucks so I on;y hear it in one ear.
I went for my bike ride. Made it to Niseko I think. Was out for about an hour-and-a-half, and I started getting COLD. I think I got some nice pictures though, and I know where some bakery's and such are. But it was a grueling ride. This is how I figured out why I was sore....the bike. Yup. Way sore.
I am so out of shape.
So, now, I'm updating, waiting for dinner, and I smell really bad. I think we might be BBQing, but I'm not sure. So, I'm going to go sit in the resturant and study some more.
Oh, and here's the link to my pictures: http://picasaweb.google.com/bartlett.ashley/TravelsInTime?authkey=FasgokjDzDs
