Wow. So today. First of all, I woke up with a terrible throat pain. Japan is really doing its best to have the last laugh here. Fuck. I'm sick. And it's awful. It makes my head hurt, and my throat hurts terribly. I just wanna curl into a ball and cry. I did, in fact cry. Three times today. Thanks Japan. Love you, too.
Today was the day to cancel cell phones. Had Tamarra meet Rio and I at meidaimae to take care of it. Tama-chan had no troubles. Me? Lots. I tried earlier to have them charge to my debit card. Unfortunately, they were declined. But kept the card on file, and apparently didn't know they were declined, even though they sent me a notice to that effect and I've been paying in cash. Because the company itself is separate from its billing department, and I guess doesn't send them important notes like that. But so, since they have my card on file, they've decided that I should close my account with that card. Even though it doesn't work. And I told them that. So I guess we had to do paperwork to take the card off file. And other paperwork to find out how much I actually owe them, because they don't know. This took over an hour today to figure this out, working with Rio, who speaks Japanese. So I got to sign forms that I guess they're faxing, but it'll take all day, so I have to come back tomorrow. Fuck.
We split with Rio after that and headed for Setagaya to see the Harley Dealership. Took us a while, but we got there eventually. Cool, cool. Had to ask two different 7&i for directions, neither knew what we were talking about. We'd actually given up and were walking back to the station when we found it. Whoops. Good fortune here, at least.
Headed out to Odaiba after that. Couldn't remember which stop on the Rinkai line to take, but figured it out. It was absurdly hot. Like it's been for the past week. Glad to be going home, just because of the heat. We took some pictures of the Fuji-tv building and the Gundam outside Diver City, and had a quick lunch of donuts and pretzel dogs in Diver city. Very American. I can't wait to eat normal american fast food again. Mango donuts are not normal. At that point, I was feeling rather faint and exhausted because of whatever this sick is. I don't think it's a cold as I have no nose/sinus related issues, just throat pain and coughing. But it was enough to send me home.
Relaxed at home, trying to get better. Have no medicine, so I don't know what I'm gonna do. Had a very late dinner with the host family because I fell asleep. Guess I'm going with Mama to mail things and deal with cell phones again tomorrow. I had wanted to visit Papa one last time, but since I have this throat thing, and he's dealing with throat cancer and is still in recovery, it's probably not good to have me go anywhere near him. I have written him a letter though, and I'm gonna give it to Mama to give to him tomorrow. I hope it's okay. Seriously doubting my writing abilities. But yeah. Gonna finish letters for Mama, Rio, and Yuri tomorrow. For now, sleep. Japan will not win, I'm gonna try my damndest to finish this in one piece.
