Woke up early and hung out all day in the house waiting for the IKEA truck to arrive. The phone rang about 9 am and it was the company trying to tell me what time they would be there. The man on the other end of the line and I had a few laughs as he spoke in Japanese and I in English and neither of us understood the other. I said I would be here all day and I think he said he would be here around two. Guess I will just have to wait when he shows up and to see if I understood him correctly.
I busied myself all day and night with the blog posts previous to this one,and a few loads of laundry. CJ and Tad arrived at lunch time with a nice black desk for my office of which I am now typing at. Thank God for that, as my back and legs got very sore sitting on the floor all of yesterday. He too gave us a brand new bike that he got for an anniversary gift from his company, but neither his wife nor he were going to use. WOW ! Then CJ had Tad call the company to see if I understood them right. He found out they are to arrive between 2-4pm. So the guys went out for a ramen noodle lunch down the street and I stayed here, in case they came early as I did not want to miss them. Was hoping for a take out bowl of noodles but they did not have to go food.:-( Back to work they went and then the IKEA guys showed up. They dropped off the couch, chairs/foot stools and rug. I tried to put together what I could. Felt good to lay down on the couch too. Yeah Furniture !!
CJ had a business meeting and dinner so he was gone till about 9:30pm. When he got home he was soaked from the walk up the hill. He also commented on how hot it was in here and when I looked at the AC remote control I found I had turned it the wrong direction. Ooops! We put the rest of the furniture together and then called it a night after another hot day here in Japan. A guy at work told CJ this is just the start of hot...it will get much hotter. YIKES !
