So today was another normal day. Nothing too special....I went to Judo practice after school. Then I also went to Cainz Home, a local DIY store and bought a big piece of carpet. I got it because a majority of my house is hardwood floor. So I figure that putting down some carpet will help with some insulation in the non-insulated house that I have. And besides, my friend, Kim also wanted me to take her to Cainz since she doesn't have a car to go buy some carpet.
While we were there, it was an interesting episode of events that could have nearly killed me...literally!
First was the chain. We were standing next to as display of carpets and there was a chain draped across the length of the wall. It was maybe 20 feet long. But somewhere and somehow while Kim was grabbing a carpet, one end of the chain came off its hook. It then proceeded to come flying toward me without me noticing and flicked me in a bad spot....I mean a bad spot....if you know what I mean.
I let out a quick yelp of shock and slight pain....while at the same time moving down in a sudden movement whilst having no idea what happened. But I recovered soon after and was ok. Then she kept on hitting random objects by accident with her carpet. Good thing I kept my distance or I could have been a victim!
Whether by accident or on purpose, she gave me cookies to thank me for taking her to get carpet, so I was satisfied! Yum! Well, hopefully my place will be a little warmer now with my new accessory in the room. I know that it won't make it completely warm, but hopefully it will help at least a little....considering homes in Japan don't have insulation and there's no such thing as central heating/AC in homes! At least in most.
Well, I'm off to bed....I'm up way tooo late! It's nearly midnight now. I'm up late because I was talking to family members on skype and just been getting stuff ready for school tomorrow and this weekend!
Well, until next post.
