another day, another year

First things first, thank you for all the birthday wishes.

Of course I'm sad that I couldn't celebrate my birthday with (m)any of you in person but it's nice to get well wishes and messages from people you love and care about.

I spent half of today working and half of today with my boys. And right now I am talking to my family - after having a great dinner and cake. So, overall a good day.

It's been a wild ride this year but I think, it was still a good one overall. It was also the last year of my 厄年 so hurray! Free at last ;p at least for a few years. So let's hope the next year will be better than this one.

That's all I wanted to say today.  ❤️

And I can't do it for an extended period of time or my health will just go down the drain. However it's the average amount of time most of my students here sleep. Do Japanese people sleep more deeply somehow? And is being able to fall asleep anywhere and anytime a genetic thing? lol  How long do you need to sleep? I personally like to get 6-8 hours. 6 hours are the bare minimum and as of late it's the longest time my body will LET me sleep without waking up. If I can I will go back...

uncertainty

Today's topic isn't really interesting because it's something we're all living with these days. Uncertainty. Yes, the future is uncertain and all that but now more than ever. And I didn't think it would take such a toll on me but it did. So here is another word vomit about work.

harder, faster, bigger stronger - work it

I guess the topic for tonight's blog post will be work. So as to fit in with what Pippa , Tiff and Gabby talked about on their respective blogs (please go and check them out if you'd like, fantastic writers and even more fantastic and wonderful people). This will be a semi happy post, I guess? Might change in the process but we'll see.
