What a day!

Another Earthquake...another tsunami warning.  At least the tsunmai didn't actually come, but it was a tense 30 or 40 minutes.  This one was a 7.1 in Miyagi. It was smallish here, but it was long and my apartment moved quite a bit.  Nothing fell of the shelves though. But it was quite evident by the feel of it that it was coming from far away and was most likely quike large.

I didn't hear it coming this time. I felt the air change. I was putting laundry away and I stopped and just stood there a moment trying to figure out what had changed. I remember thinking an Earthquake is coming and then a few seconds later it started.  The tsunami warning covered pretty much all of Tohoku area (Iwakte prefecture, Miyagi Prefecture and Fukushima Prefecture).  I'm glad it didn't hit. It would have been only half a meter, but that's still a mess to clean up after.

Aside from that, it's really hot! I'm hoping the thunderstorms that are supposed to hit later today will cool things down a bit.

I went to lunch with one of my colleagues from work and her 2 daughters. We went to and Italian restaurant near my house and spent 2 hours eating and chatting.  The food was amazing and so was the company. Tonight Kiyoko is coming over and we're going grocery shopping and then I'm going to introduce her to fajitas.  Looking forward to it :)
