I'm Alive!
mumbled apologies about abandoning my blogging duties of late...
I think my lack of blogging is sub-conscious upset about everyone leaving over summer. It's just not the same anymore(!), I thought.
But enough of the histrionics. I have taken on lots more work recently and I'm busy every night after work except Mondays. I really like it and I'm learning heaps. A new perspective can do you a world of good. It was with that thought in mind I went off to Hiroshima on my own yesterday. I got all the housework done on Saturday and thought I would have a "me" day on Sunday. My first year in Japan I didn't like travelling alone - much easier to translate in a team! So it was a treat to be anonymous and sip my Starbucks in quiet contemplation. I shopped til I dropped, including...
this sexy black 30GB iPod. My old one that I'd only had a year or so stopped working. I moaned and groaned about how stupid I would be to go and drop another load of money on yet another iPod. But I did it anyway. The prospect of flying to New York and back without music/podcasts/video did it to me finally. I love it but I'm still bitter!
Last night the spell of warm, sunny weather broke and it rained. I've been in a really weird mood today and I think that was it. It's only November and already I've got Seasonal Affective Disorder!
But anyway, what I really wanted to say was this: There is a fork in the road. And I've chosen which fork I'm going to take.
