It's been an interesting week back in Japan. The day after I got back I had a meeting about a day that was scheduled two days later. I have been sicker than I've ever been before since I got back, so going right back to work after a long long trip was pretty challenging. I spent the night before the job getting out of bed every hour and throwing up. I spent the night before that lying awake in bed, miserable with so much congestion that I couldn't sleep. I spent the night before that on an airplane, again, unable to sleep. And the night before that I was packing all night and slept maybe four hours. In fact, I don't think I've had more than four hours of sleep in a night for at least a couple weeks now. That's probably why I'm still sick.
All complaining (now) aside, however, I have much to be thankful for. The job I had was a good one. It was for a big company, so it paid decently, and the cast and crew were good fun to work with.
It's been a rough week. I always have a really hard time saying goodbye, even when it doesn't show. I've got a very very busy schedule ahead of me, though, which should help take my mind off of things for a while. I hope. It starts with this Saturday. I have filming for a commercial from 6am to 1am the next day. Then more Guinness campaign events, play rehearsals, the play itself, possibly another kind of campaign for a different company, and back to teaching. Yep, pretty busy days ahead, and I haven't even unpacked yet 😱
It's been a day of goodbyes, moon jumping, dreaming, and over-eating. Now it's time to start the long, perilous task of packing for Tuesday morning.
I had a great time hanging out with my nephews, one of my sisters, and my brother yesterday. I hate that no matter where I am I will always be far away from someone I love. There doesn't appear to be any solution to this problem.

Age: 5-7 For Christmas my sisters got me some cool toys. Anna gave me a Ninja Turtle--the snapping turtle guy. I think his name is Spike? And Rebekah gave me a Boomer Esiason figurine. Both were pretty cool in my book. However, I had no choice but to force the two to battle it out on the coffee ta
Age: 3-5-ish? Rebekah, one of my two awesome sisters, gave me her favorite toy knife for Christmas. I opened the precious gift, neglected to realize the sacrifice that had been made, quickly tossed it aside, and started opening other gifts. Her feelings must have been hurt pretty bad, and I feel li
