The exchange rate for yen to Can$ is unbelievable, almost at par. So I've ordered the two most recent Ima Ichikos, and I pray God let nothing disturb this sainted state of affairs. I'm used to 100 yen equalling $1.50. But using Buyee's intermediary service is as always a huge pain, the more so as it refuses to recognize my saved address and password. And will get worse once it ships because the German delivery company likes to message you four times a day with updates, or rather, four times a night because I think they run on German time. Of course, my cell phone never lets me know when I have messages anyway, so maybe I'm safe.
Whether I can still read Ima Ichiko's Japanese is another matter.
We're having the warm weather they promised us- temps scratching 70F- and sunny, meaning it really feels like 70F. My house is still cold because my house does that. In pursuit of 'moving for moving sake' I hung a wash on the line and walked to the far drugstore for corn pads to stop my hammer toes from pinching me. I used corn plasters and all they did was kill the skin without removing the hard hurty bit. Was going to get me some bulgogi but registered that one of my debit cards wasn't in my wallet. So of course I had to hurry back home to reassure me that it was in my winter coat pocket and not forgotten in the bank machine. And it was, so I saved myself some money and calories and had roasted vegetables for dinner instead.
But I'm seriously dubious about walking easing my muscle spasms, because so far they don't. OTOH some six or eight weeks ago the chiro told me to start doing half squats holding on to a counter or my walker, and I was all ha ha ha nope about it because there's this arthritic knee here wot doesn't bend. Only it seems now that I can do half squats without holding on to anything, or can when the knee isn't having conniptions about the horrible cold and wet, so hey. Progress of a sort.
