March 7, 2019

So…not sure where to start with this one. I mean, life’s been up and down a bit, but not really bad. I finished my immigration work and have a new lease on life here in Natori, another year in Japan(thank god.) I also got locked out of my reservations for my cruise in Golden Week…the phone lines were so busy that I couldn’t get through. So that was a bummer. My GF is amazing, though. She helped me deal with the disappointment and is very accommodating. Speaking of how awesome she is, I got a care package from her full of macaroni, stuffing mix, and(dadada trumpet sounds) rice crispy treats! I haven’t had these in like a decade and by god, they are delicious. She also made some cool gifts for the students, a bunch of cute plushies. She can do anything.

My glasses of over 7 years finally snapped in half as well, from overuse. Because I am a smarty, I had a backup pair, but it feels weird, so I may get a new frame for my old glasses, as well as a new prescription. A friend helped me with a recommendation for a good glasses shop, so I should be set. I also keep seeing my skin doctor. Bacterial infection in my foot is long gone, but because of the dead skin, it opened up the possibility for fungal infection, so I’m dealing with that…again. Sigh. Potato, potato, I just wish it would stop itching. I can’t go to the bath house, either, until this gets settled. I finished my extra classes for Natori city and it was nice to finally have a chance to rest. My sleep cycle is a bit off these days as well. No clue why, I go to bed early, but just lay awake instead of sleeping.

Like I said, mixed bag. I’ll be happy when Golden Week rolls around, so I can see my GF in person. It’ll be awesome. I do still need to make proper reservations for Shinkansen tickets, though, so that worries me. With how fast I got locked out of the cruise, I will have to be up early in the morning to get the reservations in online.

In gaming news, I like Warframe, but I’ve shelved it again for now. Too much grinding and not enough fun anymore. I finished all the story content anyway, so…ehhhhhh? I also have Kingdom Hearts 3, which is fun, but…ehhhhhhh? I mean, it feels both half baked, and very over designed. If that makes sense. March is the month of amazing releases though, so I plan to get the new Devil May Cry, Sekhiro, and a few indie titles I missed out on, like Vampyr, and Tetris Effect. Also, for Switch owners, try Bomb Chicken. It’s hilarious, adorable, and very fun as puzzle platformers go. And with that, adieu until next time.
