Today was special and different in the sense that I had company this morning. Mrs. Rastall, 90 pounds of fury in all her glory, wanted to tag along. Since I don’t get enough chances to talk to her as it is, I put aside my audiobook and acquiesced to her request to join me.

Typically this wouldn’t happen, I’m a lone wolf in the morning. That or a grumpy pain in the ass. There’s a lot of self-talk in my mornings. Although I like coffee in the mornings, I don’t like it before working out and usually it’s something I looked forward to in mornings once I got into the office. Regardless, I like a long runway where I’m able to gently be woken up. Some people like to be fucked rough in the morning, but that isn’t me. So Saori came along.

Our pace seemed slow. Her smartwatch said we only traveled one kilometer in half an hour. You almost must try to be that slow. I wasn’t so sore as I was nursing a chapped inner thigh. Gold Bond with the methanol tangy after affect isn’t exactly a thing in Japan. Saori came home with some literal baby powder. It was fragrance free too. To drive home this bad story, it was presented in a tin can and now a plastic puff bottle. Some parts of Japan I will not miss. A&D Ointment was a worthy substitute.

It was raining intermittently yesterday which would explain why I didn’t work out. It gave me a chance to look over a damp landscape this morning and it did not disappoint me.
