Short post: October 12 - October 14, 2017

Short update before my trip:

October 12, 2017
Well, today went okay.  A bit sad, bitter sweet, that sort of thing, but okay.  I got to clean my house and change my sheets and air out my futon.  Classes went okay, though I am still having self confidence issues.  When it comes to children, yes, I have improved, but good god, I still have a ways to go and too often I feel that too…succinctly.  We had to say goodbye to a 10 year student because she’s having a baby.  I wish so much that I could have given her a goodbye memento because she was very kind to me and encouraged me for being a good teacher.  I did manage to give her a tarot reading that showed a kind future, which was nice.  It fell a bit flat with the younger students, but the adults ate it up, that was nice.  I also got my much awaited package from the states with a selection of games…no Vampire Hunter D novel though…it’s too hard to find TT_TT.  Anyway, I have my itinerary for my trip, I have only two days until my vacation starts, and good lord, it’s Unexpectables time and I love it…I love it so much.
I have a few small bits that made my day interesting.  I got a much needed card from my family, which helped me feel better about life.  A long term friend of mine discovered Ghibli and now I will be ranting to her about how good it is ALONGSIDE Discworld and Fallen London. I am going to stay up a bit later than normal for DnD, but I am just going to be taking it easy tomorrow, maybe do some light reading of my novel, but mostly extra sleep, since my cleaning is done, my editing is done, and my projects are done. I have an easy day and a hard day still left, but to end tonight, I want to say…well, perhaps another time.  A few more days, then I’ll post all this and head out for vacation.  Despite the insane amount of stress, I’ve had good games falling into my lap and good news in prep for the vacation.  I am…kinda being relied upon heavily for taking down and putting back up decorations, since our walls are going to be renovated in the absence, but…eh, it’s nice to be needed.  That’s the thing…I don’t mind helping people in need, so…not a big deal.
October 13 – 14, 2017
Tired doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel. My days at school are…largely inconsequential to this posting.  They were fine.  Not great, not bad, but fine.  I spent most of Saturday moving the entire front area around so that the people redoing the walls can get to the walls all around.  It was exhausting and me with having almost no sleep due to…issues of my own on Friday night.  I suffered from very little rest and struggled to complete the day.

I did get my yakiniku, but…I don’t know, it feels off on Saturday.  The taste was the same, but the feeling…perhaps I felt like an intruder, as there was a party at all the other tables, while I just sat there alone.  I don’t care much.  I’ve tried to drown my exhaustion in games, but…it makes me more exhausted now.  I have all that I need for my trip and I just want to rest.  I still need to pack, however, though that should be pretty simple.  I just want to sleep so I can talk with my family on the morrow and then get food and get ready for my trip to the port.  I will post this up before I leave.  I am swimming in good games, but I will be taking only my phone, my book, and clothes on the journey ahead of me.  I want a chance to do things differently.  Correct or not. I must go now.  I am so very tired.
