The first week of March I began feeling the crunch of time, time getting away from me. It marked the final year of our time in Japan. Everything from that point forward will be the last chance to do something (seasonal) while we are here. The last Cherry Blossom (Sakura) season: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I busted my … Continue reading Spring Time Adventures

Mickey is Single
Me: "What do you mean she's at a wellness spa in the Hamptons Dad? It's Valentine's Day weekend." Dad: "That's what she wanted, so that's where she is. Your Mom wanted to go to the Hamptons, to this spa." Me: "That's weird." Later that day... Minnie and Mickey Mouse announced their separation to the media. … Continue reading Mickey is Single
Annual Evaluation – Internal Spring Cleaning 2015
It's that time of year again. It is year two anniversary at the job and my evaluation will be coming up, which I went through last year here.

At … Continue reading Annual Evaluation – Internal Spring Cleaning 2015
Changing Habits (not the nun type)
I'm not sure where the habit started or the reasoning for it but for most of my adult life I have waited, procrastinated perhaps, cleaning up. Now, just to clarify, my house is not a pig pen but it could be kept better. I tend to wait till the counter is full to do the … Continue reading Changing Habits (not the nun type)

Japanese Progress Fail
Two years living in Japan and I struggled with shopping in town yesterday. The sales person was patient and we figured each other out eventually but it took a while. I knew a couple of Japanese words so she said "Oh speak Japanese?" I said only a little bit, to my embarrassment and dismay. Several … Continue reading Japanese Progress Fail
Friendship Map
I have always had an itch for adventure, specifically moving to new places. Learning a new town, reinventing myself a little each time. It makes self awareness and becoming the person I want to be easier because every time I move I can make a change. Humans tend to settle in when they settle down … Continue reading Friendship Map
Eww Raw Fish!
When friends and family heard we were going to live in Japan for 3 years I had a mixture of reactions. Most were super excited and some said they would make the trip to come visit. Then there were a few who cringed and said "Eww Raw Fish! I would starve to death in Japan!" … Continue reading Eww Raw Fish!
