I really got to enjoy seeing Eriko every day at lunch time. The last few weeks
of her pregnancy, when she was meeting me at my office for lunch, were
especially nice. Now, lunch is a little lonely. Eriko’s mom has been packing me
a lunch, so I don’t have any reason to go out with my co-workers. Even the two
weeks I was eating out (when grandma was here), it still wasn’t the same. If I
extend my lunch hour by 15 minutes, I might be able to casually take the bus
home – but even then, Eriko probably won’t be awake regular hours (until Jerry
is sleeping through the night), so it could be sometime before we have a family
lunch again.
