Well, I seem to be at the end of my cold. I barely notice it anymore, which is nice. However, my stupid tonsils still won't return to their normal size. Grr... I just want to be able to feel 100% instead of 90% sometime during October.

It keeps raining here. In fact, it always seems to be raining in Toyama. I think in any given week it probably rains 4-5 days. Everyday I take my rain gear to work, even if it looks nice and sunny. I'm going to blame the weather on my recent illness. Unfortunately that doesn't bode well for me since precipitation rates go up in the winter here. I'm doomed to carry golfballs in my throat it seems.
