ill again

twenty-eight years and a 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.

My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was less competition there.
