昨日も激しい土曜日だった。大学時代のソフトボール仲間のジャイアンとカドイさんが東京から会いに来てくれた。普段はロンボク島に住んでいるカドイさんとは運よく一時帰国が重なった。
弟も会いに来ることになったので、この前と同様、アラタカラは二階で私の友達に遊んでもらっては下に降りて行って弟と遊ぶ･･･の掛け持ち。
そして、学生時代に家庭教師をしていたなおこちゃんが、私の一時帰国を聞きつけて会いに来てくれた。歩いて一分のところが彼女の実家だけれども、もう20年近く会っていなかった。子育ての合間に足圧（そくあつ）マッサージ師もしているなおこちゃんにちゃっかりマッサージしてもらっちゃった。気持ちよかった～。アラタはその間、生（いく）くん（7歳）やうたちゃん（1歳半）と遊んでいた。
10時近くになり弟を土呂駅まで送って行ったその足で、
むさしの湯（ここ参照）
で中学時代のソフト部同期と合流。はぎちゃんとはよく会うけれど、やまやは子供が春休みで里帰り中なので、やっぱり運よく会えたってことだ。3年ぶりの再会は、いきなり裸で「久しぶり～！」
私の過密スケジュールに振り回される両親の怒り爆発。でも、次に会えるのはいつだかわからないし、もう一生チャンスがないかもしれない。会える時に会っておきたいと思うのは私も年を取ったってことかしら。
It was another busy Saturday. Gian and Kadoi san, friends from University Softball team, came to see us all the way from Tokyo. Kadoi san usually lives in Lombok in Indonesia and we've happened to be in Japan at the same time! My brother also came and like on the Saturday a month ago, Aratakara busily went upstairs and downstairs to be played with us or my brother.
I also had a surprise visit by Naoko chan. I was a private tutor when she was at junior high, when I was a University student. We haven't seen each other since, even though her parents live only a minute from here. She is now a mother of 2, Iku (7 years old) and Uta (1.5 Years). She also works on part time doing acupressure with her "feet". It's unusual. She gave me a nice through massage. It was so good! While I was having a massage, Arata was playing with her 2 kids.
At about 10pm, I dropped my brother off at Toro station and went straight to
Musashino Yu hot spring (see my old blog)
to meet my softball friends from junior high. I see Hagichan often but I was lucky to be able to see Yamaya, who's been back at her mother with her 3 daughters during school holiday.
Well, my parents have had enough. My busy schedule and unplanned babysitting have made them mad. They are really angry with me.... But I want to see my friends who I don't know when or if I can see next time. I really feel I want to do lots of reunions. I don't know exactly why. Probably a sign of aging??
