I can't remember the last time Emily slept right through without calling out for me due to nightmares. Most nights it is at least twice, and I am getting quite weary as I don't get through a full sleep cycle.
Nick was studying all day so the two of us took the bus to Hibiya Park. Emily was rather tiresome and I got thoroughly fed up. As the bus there had been very busy I decided we would take the subway back and that was a mistake as we had to walk several hundred metres of tunnel underground and then had to walk back home from Shirokane Takanawa (whereas the bus would have dropped us just up the road). Emily refused to walk much and my arms were very strained after lugging her 16kg around so much.
In the afternoon, I decided that I was too tired to go out and it was also a bit overcast, so Nick went out to study instead. Emily and I made some apple and date slices then she vegged out with a Thomas DVD while I prepared dinner and did a few chores.
I went out and ran for 35 minutes and felt very strong. On my return I helped Nick feed a very sluggish and uncooperative Emily, while dashing about getting ready for my night out with Jo and Bettina. I had a lovely time at Gonpachi with my mates, but found a large pin - the kind you use on noticeboards, with a plastic head - in a mouthful of grated daikon. Thankfully I spat it out. The staff were naturally highly apologetic, with the manager coming to our table repeatedly, and desperately offering us bowls of dessert which we didn't want. We laughed it off but if I had swallowed it, it could have been quite serious, I think. At the end of the meal we asked for the bill and were told the whole thing was free, which I hadn't expected, and appreciated, as we had eaten and drank a fair amount. Bettina was very tired and we left at 10pm, so the taxi had me home in time for a very early night (compared to recent averages at least - I am rarely asleep before midnight these days as I don't like to leave Nick up on his own for too long after a hard day's work or study).
