Finally feeling better!!
Okay, I tried to post yesterday, and I had this huge long post, and just as I was about to post it....the power went out. I am sooo not kidding!! Totally annoying!
anyhow, I have decided that it would be too painful to retype it, so I'm skipping that one, and just starting with today.
Okay, Today....I'M FEELING BETTER!!!! YAY!!!
I'm still sick, but I'm actually cleaing my house.
My husband is at a post today where I can go to, so I made him Macaroni & Tomato soup.
When he saw it, he said that he had just talked to some of his co-workers and he was saying that his wife made really good home-cooked meals, especially her macaroni & Tomato soup.
Wow.....it made my day!!! He told co-workers that he liked my cooking!!! I feel so domestic all of the sudden!
I never thought I was that good of a cook, and so I avoided it, but him saying that just made me all warm and fuzzy inside, and now I feel like I want to cook, and even try some new recipes. I want to clean the house, and buy groceries (I hate shopping!) and vacuum, and do dishes, and actually fold the laundery (I haven't done that in almost a month!) and be a housewife.
Sadly although I feel like I want to do these things, I can really only pick up the floors a little, and then take a rest, because I am still sick.
I think I should tell my husband how much he made my day!! yes...definately!
Oh, it was so funny, becasue the other day I called my mom and said "Hey Mom, I just found out that today is 'Respect for the Elderly Day' in Japan, and I wanted to let you to know that I respect you" My youngest brother was on the other line, and I thought he was ging to pee his pants laughing. My mom was so shocked, she was speechless for a few seconds. It was hysterical!!
I am trying to learn Japanese, and it's really kind of fun, but really difficult at the same time.
I hope that I will be able to stay here for another 3 years, because I love it here so much, and also it will take at least a year to learn enough Japanese to actually be able to have coherent conversations, and if I put all this effort in, I want to be able to actually use it!!
I found out recently that at the end of the year I am testing for black belt in Kobudo (weapons martials arts) I am also testing for my first black belt in Gojuryu (Karate) this next spring. I am really excited, it's been 2 years of study, and I am very proud of what I have learned, and all the effort I have put in.
Well, I had better post this before the power goes out again. I should be writing again soon.
