ひさしぶりね。
It certainly has been a while since I last posted on this blog. I am a bad writer. Bad. Like someone should hit me on the nose with a newspaper.
I still don't have that same satiation for writing like I used to. But I am slowly regenerating myself to want to drive that energy towards writing.
I still do the whole vegging out after work, but I do write at least a page about my day or about a thought that crossed my mind. It has been interesting to get back on that horse. But, it feels like I am picking up a bicycle and riding a bit again. With no training wheels.
That's not to say I have not stopped living in Japan. I still am living on the other side of the world, with nothing to do but eat Ramen noodles and day dream about Mexican food drenched in salsa verde that my mom makes.
Since the last time that I posted, I found out I have not updated what has been going on with my life. I guess I should update something of what I have been up to.
Summers in Japan are in a word HORRIBLE. It makes cold showers and big ice refrigerators seem like a paradise! All I did was create new pit stains on some of my favorite shirts! It has not been pretty.
But fall is here, so the sweat pools have dwindled down nicely. Now I only worry about getting my cardigans dirty and what not. Otherwise, it is only going to get better now.
I have done a few more things on the bucket list that I made back in May. I did see a Kabuki show at an old retirement home. There was this cute little old lady that kept singing alongside the show. Speaking of little old ladies, one time when I was walking home to lunch, I got hugged by a random one on the street. It made me happy for a while.
Also, I have switched apartments. It's bigger, more spacious and has a little bit of a bug problem. But that was my fault. I let trash fester in the summer and must now reap the consequences. But I will say in my defense, the time I had to take out the trash, a typhoon came and would have made it very difficult to take the trash out.
I don't know what else I have yet to mention to make it sound like I am having a good time versus I am just complaining about the time I have spent in Japan. Because I don't like to complaining about this place. I love it here. I don't have much of a choice, I mean, I'm still planted here for another full year.
I wonder what to do for my one year anniversary. Probably nothing but a wine bottle for me. Raising a glass, October 13.
