Today's Daily Double is... gettin ready for japan!

three days out. packing is a pain in the ass but here's the state of the union:

• suitcase is on the bed and lady has sat in it twice already (dogs know, the suitcase is the sworn enemy of the dog, all seventy german shepherd pounds of her on strike)
• adapters: located
• passport: found, wrong drawer (always the wrong drawer)
• umbrella: debated, denied
• al practicing her arigatou around the houseboat all week and her accent is already better than mine and she knows it
• snuck a quick 9.8 to shake the nerves outta my legs, poor bike doesn't know it's about to be alone for ten days
• sumo tickets waiting at a hotel front desk in osaka, allegedly

tokyo first, then osaka. three days.
