Wow, hey, it’s been a while. I’m sorry about that. Life has been (for lack of a better word) a fucking rollercoaster. I’m going to try to catch you up on everything that’s happened as succinctly as possible. Cambodia: Cambodia was amazing and beautiful and the food was so delicious. Unfortunately, Mamoru and I fought… Continue reading The catch up…
Last year I started the Year in Review series. Though how much of a series can you call something you do once a year? My blog is littered with shit happenings so I like to make the Year in Review a positive one. You can see 2017 here. I imagine the 2018 year in review… Continue reading Year in review 2018…
My eyes are puffy and red from crying last night. I’m supposed to be over the moon excited. We (Mamoru and I) are leaving for Cambodia today (our first trip together to an unknown place in years). Since we started trying to have a baby seriously and then started focusing on adoption, we decided to… Continue reading Mental health: poor…
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..”
