May 9, 2019

            Not really feeling like updates now, but sure, whatever. I’ve had a rough patch of it. The stress of getting everything ready for my vacation was mostly worth it. I got to meet with my GF and we had a great time together…except that I was sick. And have been sick for the last 14-15 days. So, that was fun. I hate visiting the doctor because it’s always the same. Bronchitis. Always bronchitis. Still, that didn’t stop me from traveling.

            I returned to Hakodate with my GF, who I am intentionally not naming due to privacy reasons, and we visited Goryokaku. Hokkaido had a late bloom of cherry blossoms, so we got to see them at the fortress. However, golden week meant crowds, and the line to get up the tower in Goryokaku was insane, so we passed on it. We wanted to go to a park as well, but after Goryokaku, the weather turned foul. It became cold and rainy for the rest of our trip.

            My GF was very kind and helped care for me while I was sick and her company gave me great relief. We ate a decent amount of burgers, but mostly we both wanted fries in Hokkaido. The legendary potatoes of the north were very delicious and helpful considering my stomach was acting up and she has a sensitive stomach at times as well. I feel a bit bad because she loves fish and sushi, but we didn’t get too much of that. We got some, but still…

            We headed up to Mt. Hakodate, however it was a somber trip. We got some good souveniers and saw the legendarily good movie the full course view of Mt. Hakodate, but the foul weather kicked up a fog that blocked the beautiful view. The climb up also tore us both up something fierce, me for being sick, her for having asthma. Ironically, the Sheraton, where we had to jump to after our first hotel stay ran out just a bit short, was all flash and no substance. A bit disappointing in terms of a stay, but we had each other. That made it okay.

            I really enjoyed cuddling.  It was helpful considering I felt pretty weak. We headed back home after that and enjoyed just being together as we prepared for my GF’s departure. It was…very sad. I miss her deeply already. I spent the rest of my vacation resting, but…these days I feel a bit weird about life. Not even games give me much joy. I didn’t rest much during the last month and now I just want to take a break. So, I think I will. Not sure when I’ll be back, but I hope everyone reading has a good day.
