This time..
14 Feb
…in ten days time, I will be sitting on a couch. Or asleep in a big bed, off the ground and with many pillows (none of which will be filled with this buckwheat bullshit). I will have a tummy full of food which is familiar to me and comes from Aussie soil or is contained within a wrapper/packet that features information I can read in my first language. I will flick on the TV and understand what they are saying and I will be able to talk to D’Mummy whenever I like, face to face.
I’ve been stupidly busy since Best and BP arrived. I’ve been trying to be a decent tour guide so they have a somewhat reasonable idea of Tokyo and what my life has been like for the last few months. I’ve also been trying to pack up all my shit, sell my worldly possessions here, deal with real estate inspections, enroll in my Masters (I got accepted, ya-fucking-hoo!!!), half look for jobs for when I get back home and otherwise maintain other necessary aspects of life – like personal hygiene and eating and sleeping and junk.
I quit work, in person. It was shit as I expected but now I am free. I’ll give you all the gory details about all the important stuff once I am back but for now, I am way too busy and way too tired to get into it.
I sold my futon today so I’m now back to sleeping on the floor for a couple of nights until Best and BP leave Tokyo for the next bit of their journey. I’m not sure how much different sleeping on the floor really is to sleeping on a futon anyways, both are fairly uncomfortable.
I’m so glad you’re coming home kitten, and that you’re ending it on a good note.
Good luck with all the planning and sleeping on the floor.
Thanks Pussycat, I’m finished sleeping on the floor – it was perfectly do-able though and now I’m on the very fast train to moving-outsville. Uggghhh, I fucking hate packing.
Home soon! It seems to have gone so quickly. Short term floor sleeping is okay, but it must have sucked to do it for a while
But it’s all good now!
