The past two weeks I haven’t been able to keep track of what day it is and I keep thinking it’s later in the week than it really is. I’m not sure why that is, but I think I mentioned that I’m tired but I can’t seem to get to sleep very easily. I shouldn’t complain because other than that I’m sleeping just fine.

It’s about six months until my long trip to Japan. I’m looking for short-term apartments because I’m planning to stay in Tokyo for a solid month and then wander around a bit. I’ve never lived in Tokyo and I figure it’s high time to just go and visit some of the neighborhoods I’ve heard about but never have seen. Maybe I should do the same for other cities, but for some reason Tokyo is calling to me. I think I found something in Korea Town just north of Shinjuku. We’ll see how it all pans out. Another thing I’m planning on doing is looking up the address of the woman my dad married and divorced in the 1950’s. That’s somewhere in Kyoto, and maybe it would just make more sense to look it up on google maps, but everyone needs an adventure once in a while, even if it’s pointless.
