So it was another sllloooowww day, but I get out and do things constantly so I can meet others for someone else to talk with....no one around me here says anything or talks...they stay hidden out or walk the other way frowning...not sure why, but I've been dying for others to talk with....it's not as easy as I thought it would be since everyone is at work in the day still and we're about to get ready to leave....I can't take much more of these "do-nothing" days cause I"m so used to being out and talking to people and meeting others...not being hidden away in a room the whole day and night....I found a phone here that is free for soldiers and anyone else that is here for free world-wide calls....I can never get ahold of anyone and they are closed in the middle of the night....My internet in my room still is not fixed...I have no idea if it ever will be before we leave from here...I'm making due between these 2 cyber cafes but it's not as convinient as using right from my room where I don't have to go out in the freezing cold night air...I have finished sooo 
many art projects that I have to send them back home to myself cause I don't want to keep up with them....It's fine at first having so much free time, then it just gets blahhh......I"m looking forward to starting my life over and working all over again cause it's soo hard for me to stay at home doing nothing at all or not really being productive in the daytime....Not too much longer though and I"ll be begging to have a break with all the mess that comes all at once from the movers off the boat and the trucks.....Not really looking forward to that but nothing I can do to change it..My going away party is just a few days away now...I'm half-way excited and nervous as all get out cause I absolutely can't stand being the center of attention and everyone's vision is solely focused on "me". I didn't even ask for it but it's a good thing to know I'm liked and not hated beyond belief...I gets that's what I get for being able to get along with almost anyone....:) hope everyone is having a good week so far..It's only Monday everyone!!!!!!! take care and talk with you soon when I can make it across the streetttttttttt...xxxxoxoxo
I found a 24 hour cyber cafe here...it's after 3am here and I can't even get on yahoo and talk to anyone because they have it blocked would you believe it.....I guess they don't want people just sitting here and sitting here chatting non-stop like me....so there's not much that I can do here, not even save pics because everything is blocked...pretty boring...the internet switch thing in my room is messed up until they come and fix it whenever that is...so I'm stuck just doing what I"ve been doing for this whole week...it's been a complete headache and nuisanse....not much has changed at all here...it's still dragging for me and still a lot of waiting.....I heard music and saw a bit of dancing from the street festival they had here outside the gate where I live....Festivals like that go on for a whole weekend....Of course I don't know what they are saying since it's all in Japanese, but it's still fun to experience that since we never have things like that back home.....
We had the Japanese street festival yesterday and I believe it's also going on today as well...I saw some of it with the Japanese dancers in the street and the Japanese drummers performing...I heard it again while I was walking up here to come online for as long as I possibly can since I can't stand just sitting in a room or sleeping the whole day like everyone else seems to do there....It's nice to see festivals like that since we don't have them back home except in organized places like our Arts Festival or at the State Fair every year, but we never have things just going on in the streets....I want to go tonight to get pictures when everything is lit up and they have the Japanese lanterns out....I have only 2 weeks left here in Japan...It's so hot today somewhere over 73 degrees......I can't believe we are weeks away from Chrismas and New York is already getting snow and we are in shorts and t-shirts here....We have our Christmas tree lighting a week from now...We have a Christmas village then at dark this huge Christmas tree is lit up....I'm sooo excited to get to see that before we leave here...I have all my pictures from Tokyo and everything else from the Halloween costume party that I went to all on my other computer that was shipped with everything else....I should be seeing all that about March perhaps if not sooner, but it takes forever to go through... By the time it 
gets there, it will be freezing cold, cause we get heavy snow sometimes and huge ice storms.....very different from the winters here.....It's just kind of chilly now, but nothing really major happens.....I'm still in the waiting period over here..it seems to be dragging sometimes and it gets to me just being in such a very small living area...It's only 2 rooms and it drives me crazy at times...I don't think twice about grabbing my drink and heading out the door to one the nearest places around me I can actually get to.....I miss being online sooo much and wouldn't you know it...the internet connection is completely worn out and not working now until they come to fix it....so more waiting on that.....hopefully sometime this week cause I miss being on late at night, but then everything is closed then.....hope everyone is enjoying their weekend...I'm pretty much free right now and don't know what to do with myself I'm so restless...just waiting to leave is all but its aggravating teasing me like this...being so close but taking sooo long to get here.....
Not very much has changed in the last 24 hours....I'm still in the very very last stages of moving, and packing things up to mail and just getting used to stepping over things if not tripping over them first....Let's see, I stayed gone nearly the whole entire day today I was tooooo restless to just sit in a room, and I didn't care anything about Black Friday sale stuff...even if we do have the 2nd largest shopping center in the world apart from Germany being the first....hmm I went to the Japanese mall here out in town of course outside the fence I have to look at every single day here so I wouldn't feel so caged in and have a bit of freedom for at least a few hours....Then we found a movie to go to...something about a train which pretty much bored me to death cause I care nothing about trains...the only thing that I ever have to do with trains is getting on and off them...but I"m not obsessed with them, and I don't care a thing about sitting and watching some movie about them...total complete yawwnnnnnn...but it was either that or nothing at all since everything is so limited here, and I couldn't stand to just sit in a room...I hope the one tomorrow night will be much better....the computers here keep messing up so anyone who sent me offline messages i didn't get anything cause this wasn't responding and obviously knocked me off and took my messages with it, so I didn't get to see anything from anyone....I"m finallyyyyyyy moved out of that dump they put me in...I'm so glad that I don't have to go back there anymore...Still 2 more weeks living out of a freaking hotel room though....not sure how well that's gonna fly with me, but it seems to be going by fast.....We have to sell our car soon....I think about another week we still have it and then we have already found someone to buy it....it's Japanese style with the wheel on the right so everything inside looks reversed, or like someone went inside and switched everything around to play a trick on the person whose car it was...I'm soooo glad that things are finally winding down here...It's not so confusing now, so I will have more time now to be online and to finally figure out how to connect from my laptop in my room instead of always trekking up here to use these computers which I"m so limited on everything that I do....I will chat with you all soon, my schedule has been a nightmare for about the past 5 days and I still have a going-away party to show up to....I kept making excuses but I've pretty much run out now so I don't have any other choice but to show up and hold my breath nearly the whole time then make a mad dash for the door since I"ll already be completely embarrassed out of my mind anyways.....talk with you all soon...take care....
I am completely moved out of that moldy spider ridden worm crawling place the military forced me to move into....This is my first time back online in 3 days and it feels greatttt....I'm now living out of a scrunched up hotel room that I try and stay out of as much as possible except when I have GOT to get a shower and sleep...the rest of the times as soon as I wake up, I get dressed and I'm gone again from that place....I will be that way for the next 2 weeks here, but we finally got our plane tickets to go back home, the day after the movers came and I could hardly stand it I was sooo happy....Today was Thanksgiving.......glad it's over in a way, cause I don't like any of that stuff really...I get dragged to some Thanksgiving get-together the other day here, and there were tables and tables and more tables of just everything, and me not liking anything hardly only goes and gets 2 things...I think a couple of cookies and Dr. Pepper....I wouldn't touch any of that other mess...some kind of barfo casseroles and tomatoes on top with meat...I have better sense to injest something like that...(eyeroll) So I"m not too hot on Thanksgiving cause I'm such a picky eater and just can't stand anything hardly at all....Now that Thanksgiving is over, Christmas is going to be shoved at us full-force...not that it is already...they are having some Christmas parade here I think next weekend...not that I'm going to participate or anything living out of a hotel room of all places, but some already have lights up and Christmas trees showing out the windows...I've never had a Christmas tree ever, so I hope after next year I will finally get to experience having my own.....hope to chat with you all soon....as soon as I can figure out how to connect my laptop in my room (WHERE IT WILL ACTUALLY WORK AND NOT JUST COME ON) I will most likely be online non-stop until we have to move from here permanetely....I just didn't want to wait to get it hooked up and wait for it to connect, which never works for me the first time anyways... so now that most of the mess from moving in a hotel room is sorted out and I'm somewhat organized...the best way that I can be, until I get my own house again...one year and counting.... :p then it shouldn't be too much longer until I can start coming online again everyday.... and I simply can not waittttt....hope you all are doing great and gearing up for the holiday season....I'm excited about all of it.... :) xxxxx
Although I had a very hot shower, I still feel unbelievably disgusting....Today was the movers coming to get my husband's things to go to Korea...tomorrow is everything of ours then government borrowed things the next day...I had the grueling task of cleaning off the gross stuff from my yard ornaments I keep by the front....Some are porcelain others are like a hard plastic or whatever it is they make yard ornaments out of...I had to go and rinse them off in the dark with very little light and running so much water, it made the worms, lizards, bugs, ants and I'm not sure what else some of that was, come out....I can't stand any of that and I'm scared of everything over here....I'm not sure when it happened, or with which one, but my finger was aching, and I got in the light and looked at it, and I had sliced it all the way down and was bleeding all over the place...so that was the end of cleaning for me...good riddens I can't stand doing that stuff to begin with.....I'm soooo excited to FINALLY be moving and eventually leaving here.....I just don't like cutting myself over stuff like that, cause now it's aching to type anything....I am fine though, but it's been chaotic the whole day waiting and waiting then getting things ready or having to pack and not everything is cooperating....I will have everything jerked out from under me tomorrow..it takes a whole day to pack everything up and load it in the crates....then we move over to the hotel to temporary lodging for the next month...about 3 weeks time....I hope the weather doesn't act up by the time next month finally gets here and it's time to fly out...just sooo excited.....I will talk with you all soon...take care and so happy that we all met on here while I was living here on Okinawa....
Tomorrow the movers come finally...I thought the day would never ever come...it's only a start to get some things then the next 2 days they come and get everything else....I"m so excited, and it's already looking empty here, and all we've done is move stuff around or have it stacked....I have tonight and tomorrow night still here before I'm living out of a hotel having to move 3 or 4 times because of my cats...some rooms they are allowed in, others they're not...so I'll be moving around until after Christmas trying to get settled and visiting everyone back and forth back home....I won't be fully settled until about the springtime when the snow starts melting....can't waittt I will finallyyy get to see snow aftersooo longgg....Has everyone seen the latest video craze that has been on the internet since before the sun came up here this morning???? I don't know how many times I have watched this but it's sooo cute and soooooo funny, I just had to share it....I miss having cutie kittens like this...mine were smaller than this when I first saw them when we went over to sign our lease in Italy....mine fit in the palm of my hand then, so it's no time at all and they grow up to be this size and do the funniest things ever....love it though...wish they could just stay that way and that sweet size....
