Reality

Posted Monday, January 18th, 2010

2010 has made me give a lot of things thought.
Inevitably – “Where I am” versus “Where I wanted to be” versus “Where I want to be”.

How many…

Posted Monday, January 18th, 2010

How many people actually still check here? I imagine 99% of the readers I had before have either moved on… Or are not particularly interested in things other than Motoki.
If anyone is still around – please, comment so I know I`m not just speaking to close to thin air.

If virtually no one is around, I suppose I`ll have to look into contacting people to let them know I`m still alive and have started blogging again.

The Mundane – Curtains

Posted Monday, January 18th, 2010

And here we are to delve into the mundane.
I said I didn`t particularly want to delve into the pointless when it came to Motoki – but the rest of my life is open.

Most recently, we have moved Motoki into his own room. That is material for another post of it`s own… But the move sparked a number of small household improvements outside of that corner of the house. I suppose making a room into a bedroom sort of puts you in the mood to do all those little improvement projects that build up over the years.

Today, we tackled the laundry room curtains.

An Explanation

Posted Friday, January 15th, 2010

I was never one for the mommy blog stint. I am not a sappy sentimental mother.
I think that is the main reason that I sort of dropped out of blogging. Back when we had medical issues at every turn, back when it was something amazing to just be able to say my son was alive… That`s when there were things to post about. But after a certain point – while I can`t say things reached perfect – there really wasn`t anything to post about on a daily basis. Or even a weekly basis. Sometimes not even on a monthly basis. At least, not if I didn`t want to delve into the mundane.
But I still like to write. Just not doting motherly things – that simply isn`t who I am.

So finally, finally, after a year of procrastination filled with lots of time consuming events… I have gotten around to freeing myself from the confines of a blog named after my son. Hopefully things will me much more fun this way.

Complete Reconstruction

Posted Thursday, January 14th, 2010

As I have not had the time or strong desire to update here for quite some time… I decided to do a complete overhaul of the site. This may take a few days, so if there is anyone still randomly checking here – wait a bit.

  • About me.

    Living a rather normal and boring life in Japan. You will not find posts here about the stress of being non-Japanese in Japan. There are more than enough of those blogs out there to satisfy anyone`s appetite. Plus, I don`t really have a bunch of stuff to whine about. I`m happily married, living where I want to be, fluent in the local language, and about as content as it gets.
