I just got back from the early trek to the supermarkets.
I am in good shape, so far,
but bread is tough to come by, for now.
No sooner it hits the shelves, and it's sold out!
If you think rice is the main staple in Japan,
I'd say bread was running a close second...
The American Embassy in Tokyo
concurs that we are not in danger, at present.
I keep checking regularly for reputable news updates...
Last night, another earthquake, not aftershock, hit;
a little nearer to us than the big one on Friday.
A magnitude 6.1, epicenter in Shizuoka Prefecture...
We are all contacting each other,
keeping the support going, while weathering this.
I'm going to meet with my girlfriends today,
for a cuppa and exchanging of info.
Everything's strange
Recalibrating balance;
Friends, coffee, and talk!
