Times are changing
(Not gonna lie, saw perkyandproud 's update and realised I should do one...)
So. Things have finally taken a turn for the better.
First up. This new school year started with a big family implosion. Nanny passed away after suffering from kidney problems and a broken heart after Grandad died last year. I'm of the opinion that she just let it take her away so that she could be with him again. So I'm glad, she had some miserable months coming to terms with her own loss. And I'm not sure she did. I'm sure she's happy now though.
But! Once I came back to Japan, things started to get a bit better.
My lovely mountain bike busted, so I went out hunting and bought a shiney new one complete with a pannier rack on the back for all my work stuff. No more sweaty back!
I met the most wonderful dork after Golden Week through Tinder. We've been daing for just over a month. He is most certainly a geek boy. Harry Potter, LotR and I've got until July to get him up to date with Star Wars for the exhibition that's coming to Osaka.
I settled in at work. I can count on one hand the trouble students. And while they make me want to rip my hair out, I can leave it to the teacher. I've raised my voice once to the first graders at JHS, but that was a bad day in general and hasn't happened again.
Anyway! My goals!
Return to upload schedule by May - DONE
integrate yoga into daily routine - 80% ish? Had a bunch of "meh" days after work.
update MyFitnessPal daily - 75% or so. Slipping at the weekends.
reduce wardrobe by 25 items by June - DONE
complete the 30 day challenge by September - .... no progress since last time really
learn Odaiko part of Hyuga by April - 95% but I'm gonna strike through. I REMEMBER it. I just don't have the confidence yet to play the part alone.
be able to play Niji by the end of the year - no progress
join a class before summer vacation starts - no progress as I'm finding I have zero time to pick up something new
