I know I’ve been MIA. I’m sorry about that. It’s been a rough April to say the least. After recovering from surgery (for the most part), I caught an awful cold. It fucking crippled me. I lost my voice for two days, and after that I could not stop coughing (which kept me up all… Continue reading Goodbye April (I’ve had enough of you)…
It’s November 1st. Halloween is over. Let’s hurry up and finish this year. I’m supposed to be getting out of bed but I have no desire to. It’s suddenly cold, very cold. I thought I wouldn’t make it home on the bicycle last night. You might recall me mentioning our house guest who visited last… Continue reading Let’s hurry up and finish this year…
Here’s something I haven’t talked about in a while…my weight. With the myriad of new used clothes and food I brought back with me from America, I also brought back 3kg (about 6 pounds). Fortunately this isn’t enough to make my clothes not fit or anything dramatic like that, but it is enough to hurt… Continue reading Everything sucks…
Well Monday was supposed to be a nice easy low key day but it didn’t exactly work out that way so now I’m eating celery with vegan cheese and getting drunk on Strong Zero. Today I started a sewing project which I didn’t finish it because at the end I was swimming in it. I… Continue reading Monday, Monday…
I hate rain (and cold). Have I mentioned that like 35278508635 times yet? My hometown is sunshiny for the majority of the year. Moving to Japan I got SAD really bad. You know what else I hate about rainy days? They’re boring. Yeah I’ve been watching TV all day, but because I can’t go outside… Continue reading Organizing, food & diet, and TV…
This week is White Day. I’ve talked about White Day before, but just as a refresher it’s a bullshit Asian holiday where the man is supposed to reciprocate his lady’s Valentine’s Day gift (multiplied by 2 or 3). I made Mamoru some donuts with chocolate sauce and some pizza for Valentine’s Day, but that day… Continue reading This week…
As of yesterday, my schedule is completely clear for next week, so I can use that time to recover. I told one freelance client that I was having surgery. She inquired what for and where, so I lied to her on both accounts. Japanese people can be so nosy sometimes. I hated lying to her,… Continue reading Waiting…
Today I am 5 weeks pregnant. I never thought I’d type that line let alone actually be 5 weeks pregnant. Most days I still can’t believe this is real. Mamoru caught a cold so I’ve been staying away from him. I bought some masks to wear on the train. I’m worried about catching something while… Continue reading 5 weeks…
I had to run out of the house quickly this morning, so I didn’t get to compare today’s preggo test with yesterday’s. I’ll check it when I get home. I’m always afraid that instead of getting darker the test will get lighter. It always starts out light. However, yesterday’s test showed darker than the day… Continue reading Mild woes…
Well, Mamoru took the news better than expected. In fact, he said he still wanted to adopt even if everything goes well with this pregnancy. He joked we could be like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt (without the divorce). I told him I was surprised. He wondered why I was surprised but in the end… Continue reading Jokes help…
