 It was a rainy day.

I decided to buy boxed lunch on my way to office when it was raining. There were variety of them.  This was the third time for me to buy there, and I was going to buy sweet and hot fried chicken version. However, unfortunately it was not ready yet. Therefore, I bought the stir-fried shredded beef with green pepper and bamboo. I asked the most sold one, and the staff said chicken with tomato stew. So maybe next time.

At lunch time I had a chance to have with a colleague.  We enjoyed talking about our cultural difference experiences in northern America and Japan.

I overworked till 21:15 and came home around 23:15.

There was a big earthquake in the midnight.

 It was rainy.

September 15 was used to be a national holiday called "Respect-the-Aged Day." But now it moved to the third Monday of September. Therefore, we will have a 5-day long weekend from Saturday this week.

I wished to travel but I have to work on Saturday, and there are some events in Tokyo, therefore I gave up traveling.

At lunch time I had a chance to eat with two colleagues. Our lunch time is flexible, because there are phone calls and other things, and we had to take the lunch time by shift. I seldom have the full one hour. For 15 minutes I watch the morning drama by NHK plus. But since I joined later, we enjoyed talking about traveling abroad for the first 15 minutes or so. Two of them studied in Canada and I studied in the USA, therefore we have some experiences in common. So, it was fun.

I overworked till 20:00 and came home earlier than usual and watched TV dramas after a long time.

It was fine after 19 days or so. But it started raining again in the night.

If it is fine, I have seen the sun between the buildings when I come out from the subway exit in the morning, but I did not see it today. I felt the earth was moving.

In the evening it is already dark at 6 PM these days. I feel the season is changing. 

There used to be clear 4 seasons in Japan.  But these days we cannot say so. 

I overworked till 21:15 and came home around 23:10.
