So it looks like I am heading back to Japan in a few months. So it begins again. Looking over these past posts...the individual moments seem like lifetimes ago, but the time in Japan seems like only yesterday. I am scared about going back, but I will be ok.
When I went in 2006, I was single, still drinking, had saved a bunch of dough.
Now I am married, have a degree (started when I got back. I was 39). Sober. On the other hand, I am broke, college loan looming, no job (I am free-lancing). And adapting to married life and possibly living with my inlaws.
I know there is no sense in stressing about temporary things. Or even future things, as in future stress.
But it's nice to post again. Even if it is to myself.
