I’m lying in bed with Small Lady and KC and I’m listening to the sounds of the children next door playing and I’m trying to pretend my heart isn’t utterly broken for the second Christmas in a row that our house is silent. We had to celebrate Christmas early because Mamoru works tomorrow (actual Christmas… Continue reading Merry Christmas…
I’m still in bed. I can’t be bothered to get up because well I don’t really have to. Today is my day off. One of two this week. I’m so over Company H. I’m really looking forward to the winter holiday as well as leaving that job. Yesterday we had our Hebel Haus tour. Hebel’s… Continue reading More house stuff…
Yesterday Mamoru turned in our foster to adopt application paperwork. To adopt this paperwork needs to be approved by a panel of judges and the next meeting is in January. They told Mamoru when he turned in the paper, that my proof of income was missing, so I contacted Company H immediately and asked them… Continue reading With hope…
It’s that time of the year when you have to keep parts of the house closed off because Japanese apartments are poorly insulated, and it gets really cold if everything is opened up. Today is my first of two days off in a row that’s not a weekend, and I’m super happy about it. My… Continue reading Dream house and adoption…
Rei and I are convinced that winter turns people into giant bitches. This happened last year. Yuichiro and others decided that they would become total assholes. It’s happening again this year. I have a friend who doesn’t have a pseudonym because we’ve only hung out a few times (but I’ll use S for now). However,… Continue reading Sometimes friends, soup, and super shopping…
After a period of reconciliation and discussion (after the initial drama) Mamoru and I decided to go through with purchasing お父さん’s house. Our plan is to demolish it and build a brand new house on the lot. This means we can choose everything about the house including the layout, how many rooms we want, and… Continue reading House and adoption talk…
It’s been a while since I posted. My life is currently a tire fire (that’s bigger than a dumpster fire right? Assuming it’s like a lot full of old tires). First of all, KC is fine. He’s eating normally. He’s full of energy and he’s annoying but cuddly as fuck. So that’s all good but… Continue reading “Who needs a house when I’ve got all these friends..”
Someone wanted to eat a big normal breakfast this morning and what a relief. After almost three days of not eating, I was happy to hear KC’s whines for food this morning. On Tuesday night we took him to the doctor. The doctor gave him an IV, and I had to listen to him cry… Continue reading Getting better…
Yesterday Yumiko was lamenting that she couldn’t have sex whenever she wanted (though I disagree as she’s very popular when we’re out). She could probably wear a sign that said “SEX?” and get multiple offers. Unfortunately, I cannot have sex whenever I want either which is maybe worse because I’m married and she’s not. Back… Continue reading Sex, sick, and a house…
Oh the heels of the kitten fiasco, yesterday Mamoru received an email from an NPO asking us if we’d take a baby which will be born next month. There’s one big hitch that both Mamoru and I were worried about. The mother is 41 which puts the child at a bigger risk for Down Syndrome… Continue reading Adoption and KC…
