I had hoped that putting all of our stuff away would have taken me more than 2 days, but I should have known better! At least it kept me busy for 2 days... I am thankful for that! The house is about as clean as it can get.. I've dusted, vacuumed, mopped, and scrubbed just about everything, but it's just me here so it doesn't get too dirty... except for the abnormally heavy hair loss I have going on, it's not too bad otherwise. I have read all 5 magazine my Mom put in my last care package and am all caught up on this weeks TV shows. I figured out how to hook up Damian's PS3 to our TV and to our Hulu account so I could watch all my shows... I am very proud of myself for doing this on my own and it is definitely nice to watch the shows on a TV instead of a 15 inch laptop!
I went to the post office yesterday to find a letter from HR on base saying that I did not get the job. The letter was dated the day after I turned in my application and paperwork and I have a sneaking suspicion that they already had the position filled when they advertised it... I didn't necessarily want the job in the immunization clinic but it was a J-O-B... oh well! This was the first job I have ever applied to and not got... I guess you're never too old to learn about rejection.
It's a rainy day here in Yokosuka, and I don't have much to do, the time goes by pretty slowly when you spend most of your day trying to figure out what to do to make the time pass... sort of like waiting for the toaster or watching a pot of water boil...
Tomorrow I am heading to Mount Fuji for a sightseeing tour from the base! It is the last tour of the season that goes up to the fifth station of the mountain! I'm definitely going to dress in lots of layers for this adventure! We leave at 0530 and don't get back until around 2200 and then another tour the next day too! I should have lots of fun stuff to report back and will most definitely need a day of rest after these 2 back to back tours!
Hoping to meet Damian at the ship's next port in another few weeks, although haven't booked it quite yet! That will definitely be something to look forward to! Can't believe we are spending this much of our first year of marriage apart... someday I will look back and think it's kind of funny, but it's not funny quite yet ;)
Japanese word of the day:
Itadakimasu: I humbly receive (literal translation) but is the equivalent of bon appetite etc... when you get your food at a restaurant this is what the waiter says... when it comes out really fast it sounds like "Eat a duck or mouse"
