Tokyo, 2008.06.15

It is a beautiful day today. Naturally, we exhausted parents spent it mostly catching up on chores and sleeping. In fact, I came to at 13:50 (ten minutes before a scheduled call) and found myself on the floor next to the baby. We'd come in almost an hour before .. I was still wearing my sunglasses.

When the call was finally over two hours later, I went looking for my family and found them passed out together in the bedroom.

A pretty fine way to spend the day, in all. Think I might wash the windows. Hmmm, so this is domestication!
