Survived New Years in Kagoshima and am back in Fukuoka. I am going to bed early tonight because somebody woke me up at 6 this morning (after waking me up at 4 in the morning) needing instant food and warmth and that meant right now if not sooner or a panic attack was going to ensue. We had a bit of that the night before and I really didn't need any more of ot. I tried my best to provide both, but the house's electric system is not up to handling all the heating/cooking demands and the breaker kept falling. I can't run three heaters, an electric blanket on high, the microwave and the rice cooker and lights all at once. Tried to send the demander back to bed, but that was not going to happen because she kept bouncing back out, so I just got up and tried making this and that with the menu order changing or being cancelled every three minutes. I suggested that one might be able to eat better were one to put one's teeth in, and I also suggested that one might warm up a bit if on were to eat the breakfast that one had ordered, and upon taking my suggestion one finally settled down a bit. Glad I don't have to deal with it all the time. At least the only complaint about the cooking was that there was too much of it.

how exhausting! maybe you should keep those heating candles around, we do, for hurricanes. I remember how cold those Japanese houses can be! especially in the south I think.....because it is not THAT cold for THAT long. So why design then for that? S FL has same in older houses.
Glad you could do these things. lots of love in the new year!
@ANT_L - The Kagoschimian house was designed nice and airy, as in with summer in mind. "One" is also very thin and chills easily and has to be kept warm, which is what we were worried about. A two night stay was enough. The place we are in here in Fukuoka is a tin can. It was 46 degrees in my room when I woke up this morning. Our real "home" in Tokyo is in an apartment building that doesn't really get that cold, and we hardly need heat in the afternoon when the sun shines in.
