cyphomandraNo access to my house for the foreseeable future - it's possible the concern is due to a neighbouring building that's unstable, but there's been a lot of liquefaction in the area and, according to the phone call I had tonight, the structure of my complex may also be affected. I am not really dealing with this at the moment. Basically, I want my computer, but it's also acting as a surrogate for all my books and manga, the potential loss of which I can't really begin to consider just yet.
But. In the next room, an NHK reporter is interviewing a former King's Education student, also staying here (I'm with relatives) who was out at lunch when the building collapsed on her friends and teachers. In contrast, losing a house and contents seems minor. I swing between these extremes depending on who I'm talking to or what I'm reading, or anything one of thousands of other things. Really all I can do at the moment is wait. And work - spent most of today on the phone, and it'll be the same again tomorrow; surprisingly successful at finding people, and they are all mostly okay.
Thanks for all your comments. I do want to reply, but it will probably be a few more days.
