so i’ve started work, i’ve started class and i’ve started not sleeping again. i’m not sure why my body seems to have a vendetta against circadian rythms, i only know that it does and my tear ducts suffer for it-not due to crying, mind you. as anyone with sleep problems will tell you, it’s difficult to keep your corneas moist when you haven’t had a full nights sleep in at least a week. i would love to go to the doctor for it, but every time i schedule an appointment, i end up staring at the ceiling or the inside of my eyelids all night and falling asleep around 6 or 7am, and sleeping through the appointment as a result. curse you, over-active mind!!
i started work at the e-club as a bingo cashier. tons of fun, I guess. I like the job, it’s just mildly irritating how my black cloud seems to follow me into the most annoying places! It’s my black cloud that causes me to end up with at least a medium, if not a large shirt at every job I start because “I’m sorry we’re all out of smalls.”
I’m sorry, I thought you were a manager? I thought you were supposed to be a model of responsibility, organization, and decent giving-a-crap to be bothered with ordering a few t-shirts when you know you’re going to be hiring someone soon. you don’t want them walking around your floor looking like an unprofessional twig-in-a-tent, every Sunday, wednesday and Friday for the next three months because LORD KNOWS you won’t be bothered with ordering them any time soon either!!! Why, black cloud? Why me?
So now, I love my job, I just have to force myself out of the car every day, knowing I will look completely ridiculous, with at least 50-75 people staring at me fo the next 5 hrs. Ugh.

so, I think I will be picking up our new kitten on Monday or tuesday. They have been waiting on test results for feline leukemia for the last three weeks. I was completely convinced the kittens were gone and the lady had lied to me about posting the ad on YOKOTA ads but I was able to convince arron to go to the pet care center today and see, just see, if they were still there and they were!!! they are all so cute, I don’t know how we’ll ever pick! Their tails are all crooked in the most adorable and awkward ways lol! one of them completely spins around like a little piggies tail! aw and two of them are colored in the moat peculiar ways, it’s like a mixture of black and orange and brown and grey. Very pretty! They are all so precious though, sigh!! I just can’t wait for poor kiko to have someone play with! It’s so sad watching her chase invisibles, you just know she wants a little friend to run around the house with! I can’t wait to see them play!
and I started my new class on Monday and BOY is it tough. We learned 20 kanji and we had a test today. I got one wrong, I was so mad! But I made an 85 and I think that’s pretty darn good for so little sleep and time to study. I immediately got with mizu and jensen about study group, and we’ll meet tomorrow at 11 at the yujo! That’s great news for me! I need it! Mizu is an angel and a REALLY good teacher, she saved my butt last semester lol! I’m glad she’s doing this.
Well, if I have even a small prayer of sleeping tonight, I must hit the hay tonight so I can hit the books tomorrow. 御休みなさい 家!! Oyasuminasai uchi!
