ill again

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2022.08.26

When we landed at Narita we finally got to the baggage gate some two hours after touching down. It had been an insanely long day. In my exhaustion I grabbed the wrong wine-colored Mountain Equipment Coop bag - which we finally noticed yesterday. Mari's now making arrangements to have it returned to get ours back.

I've now caught The Girl's stomach bug and we've both been having trouble with stomach pain, sore throat, headaches, etc. Mari had to take The Girl to the hospital on Tuesday and Wednesday night, and only didn't bother last night despite her being awake with stomach pain for two hours because the doctors have reassured her it'll pass. Poor kid, she's been suffering every night for hours.

Marriage is like a game of chess, except the board is flowing water, the pieces are made of smoke and no move you make will have any effect on the outcome.
