We slept in today, because we had plans to go to the Japanese consulate so
that Eriko could change her name legally in Japan. We headed off to the
consulate about 8:30 and arrived a few minutes before 9:00 (at which time it
opened). We were the first in line and thus quickly found out that we needed
original documents instead of copies. Eriko made some corrections to her forms
and then we left. We returned just in time for me to attend my usual 9:45
meeting. Eriko took the bus back to the consulate with all the required
paperwork. I wasn't real productive before lunch as I was distracted by
conversations with my co-workers. I went home for lunch, which was nice. We
just got ourselves a regular land-line; Eriko's dad decided not to continue
paying for her Japanese cellphone and I realized I needed a reliable
communication method at home (cellphones don't work well in our house). At
work, I had several meetings and wasn't real productive. I returned home by
6:30 to a nice meal. We finished watching the movie we had started the day
before. Eriko was in bed before 9 but I stayed up learning how to convert my
mail server from sendmail to exim4. I had made good progress but several issues
are still outstanding before I can actually cut over.
