Glad to see your social calendar is filling up! Wooo Hooo! ANd I hope it doesn't get too cold for you! I bet it was nice to have a bit warmer weather, huh?

I'm so glad to hear that your interviews went well. And woo hooo for higher pay! I'm keeping my fingers crossed and all kinds of good thoughts for you. It sounds like that job would be perfect for you!

I love the Lennon museum. That's very awesome. I didn't realize he was so respected in Japan! I don't even think we have a Lennon museum here!

I'm so glad to see that you had such a good time with the family. I'm so happy for you!

And I'm very, very glad to hear you sounding so good, Laura!

yea the calendar is filling up, but sadly some plans get canceled. we were supposed to have dinner with a friend yesterday, but the guy broke his shoulder bone snowboarding! but I still have a trip to the onsen tomorrow, and an interview Wednesday, and M's show SAturday night. then a party on the 6th. who knows after that I may be home for a month straight!

no, sadly there's no Lennon museum anywhere else in the world. but this one's supposed to be closing, so maybe Yoko will open one in the U.S. New York would make sense.

thanks! things are going pretty good but I'm starting to get frustrated with so much free time. and still have stomach issues, but I guess that's just a symptom of being unsettled. things will definitely improve in the spring:)

hope you're doing good too!

*hugs*

Well, with all you have going on, a cancellation here and there might be vital just to let you catch your breath! lol...

It's closing? Wow... why is that?

Maybe stress is helping cause your stomach problems? That's no good. Boo on that.

I'm doing great, thanks! *HUGS*

the John Lennon museum is supposedly closing because of lack of attendance. which isn't surprising since it's about an hour outside of Tokyo and not in a very busy area for tourists. I think a museum dedicated to John would be better in London or in New York. or even Liverpool where he grew up. Saitama is a weird place for it.

oh yes, definitely stress is causing my stomach issues. I've been so anxious about jobs, and interviews, and just overall unsettled life. but soon things will settle down. and with it my stomach i hope:)

glad that you're doing great!! I always like to hear that.

*hugs*

Oh wow... yeah, a non-touristy place is a very strange place for a museum. That's a bummer. I do hope that another one opens somewhere more accessible to people.

I do hope that your stomach issues settle very soon, Laura. I'm worried about you!

oh thanks - but don't worry about my stomach:) it's been problematic for me for years - intestinal issues run in my family. I have a peptic ulcer, and also I think IBS (which recurs with stress). and in an unfamiliar environment, it's my stomach that bears the brunt of any stress or change. different food, different air, always having to listen to another language -- lots of unfamiliarity. it can be crazy! I know that once things settle (probably in the spring), I will be okay. for now, I'm just ignoring it- and taking lots of medicine.

*hugs*

Oh ack... intestinal issues are no good. No good at all. I can only imagine the stress you're under though. I really hope it clears up soon, Laura... because that would mean your stress is fading too! Both good things! :-)

well sadly my stress probably won't fade until I learn about a job and feel a bit more settled. it takes time. but I'm trying to focus on other things, and be positive:) I too hope that the intestinal issues clear up:)

thanks!
