Lately I have been feeling like I am always waiting for something. Waiting for my life to start. Since T's arrival in March, everything has been a waiting game until the next visit. It's become harder and harder to be away from him the closer that he is. I guess I had gotten used to him being so far away in Canada. Now that he is close enough to see him in just a few hours, it's harder for me to be away. I am less than 2 months from the end of my contract, as I recently gave my 60 days notice, so it won't be long and we will be able to see each other every day. I found a job nearby and am anxiously counting down the days.
That's not to say that I am not busy with my own life. I am still doing the crazy gym schedule, however I have recently decided to give up my Japanese lessons. I will have to be more dedicated to studying at home, but I just feel with all the gym stuff, plus now getting ready to move that I am just too busy and I have to give up something. I have recently had a cold and have just been feeling more tired than usual. It's time for me to start giving myself a break.
On a happier note, my birthday is coming up next month so I should have lots of adventures to report soon. I have a night out clubbing in Tokyo planned (not for my b-day but just as my last hurrah in the Tokyo club scene before blasting off to Niigata) as well as a trip to Yokohama Cosmoworld to celebrate my birthday. I am bringing back the tradition of amusement park birthday celebrations abandoned since I left Canada. It's no Wonderland but it looks pretty cool from their website so I am looking forward to it.
In other news, my weight loss continues, albeit slowly, however I have been getting rid of, and replacing, a whole lot of clothes so look forward to some "after" pictures soon enough.
It sure is easy to be happy these days :D
Here are my 2 favourite pics from my last trip:
And here is just a taste of what my new home looks like...Niigata is all about beautiful snow-capped mountains...heaven!
