Typhoons

There was a typhoon last night.. and I woke up at about 2:30.  My little bunny Pyonko found her way between my arms... I heard only wind and rain, and there was some lightening.  I asked my little Pyonko, 'ohhh are you scared?'  and she said yes!   So i pet her and put her on her blanket and told her everything was going to be OK.   

Then we fell asleep again.

I woke up and listened to the radio to get info about the trains.  Of course they were late... But the express line from my house to the baby office  (11 stops, 63 min) was not running.  So I had to leave earlier than normal because I knew the trains were going to be slow.  I would have to transfer  instead of take the normal route. Naturally I was in a rush!   I left my phone on my bed and ran out the door!    Well I get on the train and head towards Tokyo.

5 stations into the trip the train came to a stop...   The announcer said that all the trains from Saitama to Tokyo are stopped because of the wind.  To get to Tokyo, we have to cross a river.  Apparently there was a lot of wind across the bridges and it was not safe to run the trains across.

Well after waiting for about 20 min, the announcement came that the train will be stopped until 12:00.   Bad because I start work at 11.  Worse because i left my phone at my house and I couldn't call BABY to let them know.   So I went to the McDonalds (luckily they were still serving breakfast, that is the ONLY thing I can stomach there) because they had wireless... or so i thought.  I wanted to connect to the net so I could email BABY...

It was then when i realized that i  have the english webpage i have been building for them on my computer!  and I have the phone number to the office on the webpage!! So I was able to use a pay phone and call in and tell them I would be late.

Needless to say, my normal 63 min commute turned out to be a 3 1/2 hour commute via 3 trains.

The way home was smoother, but crammed, because the express line was not running...

but I am home now, after a long long long day...

and Pyonko is happy
