November 10, 2017- November 12, 2017: Announcing a hiatus

November 10, 2017
You know…this has been a few weeks of trial.  Just because I am melodramatic, don’t get the idea that I’ve been blowing smoke up people’s asses.  I am tired, frustrated, and not feeling very good right now.  And it keeps getting worse.  Work has become very difficult, though I hope the workload will calm itself after tomorrow.  Likewise, I found a rather large number of bills tucked away out of sight in my mail box alongside rain damaged junk…fun times.  I could pay two of them, fine, but the third one is expired, so now I need to find out how I’m going to deal with that.  Fun, fun, fun…I’m feeling more and more beaten down and while it may be a fleeting moment, it makes me frustrated and tired.
I’ve considered shelving this blog as well.  I’ve shared my growth and this journey up to a point, but it’s becoming harder to keep writing these entries and more than that, it’s becoming more frustrating.  I feel like I’m just saying the same things again and not putting out good vibes.  I am wondering if it’s even worth doing this, especially in the days of social media where if anyone is really worried, they can just…hit me up there.  I don’t know and I’m not about to debate it tonight.  I got work in the morning and by god I will try to get my eight hours…
November 11 – November, 12 2017

I’m announcing a hiatus on updates for this blog.  I will still finish posting my photos, but…I need time.  I’m so full of anger and frustration right now that…to put it simply, the last few weeks have been building up to today, which has been the cherry on the shit sundae. The little issues are what burst dams and my dam has burst, flooding me with all the stress in the world.  I’m tired of being angry, of having things not go my way, and of people not taking that seriously.  “He’s a rock, he’ll survive…” yeah, true, but that doesn’t mean I want my issues dismissed. I don’t want to deal with anything else right now, so…good bye for a few weeks.

  1. Hey- I don’t wctualy know you but I came across your blog when I was researching living and teaching in China. I’m sorry you’re having a rough time, but know that I’ve enjoyed reading a real and unfiltered account of living and teaching abroad. I hope things get better for you soon.

    1. I appreciate that you took the time to say as such. If you have any questions about living or teaching in China or Japan, please feel free to leave them here. I still check all my comments, even if I am on a small hiatus and I am happy to give advice. My time was mixed, but if you can deal with the unexpected, it's a worthwhile experience,
