welp, after almost five long years, i’m finally going back to Japan in late March! which is 🌸sakura🌸 season!! and this time i’m going with my brother!!! i’ll have two nights in Tokyo and two in Nara, then he’s meeting me for four in Osaka (after his speaking gig is done), then three more in Tokyo!
last night i had one of those dreams where all my teeth were actively falling out except this time, i was like, “oh wait, this can’t be real. this must be a dream.” but instead of me gaining control, it just kept feeling real so i got gaslit back into believing the bad dream. sigh
after four years of avoiding COVID in our household, my partner had a faint positive test this morning 😭 she’s isolating in our basement, i tested negative, and i’m taking all the precautions i can (opened a bunch of windows for a while, running air purifiers now, etc) really hoping the faint test meant her viral load has been low enough that i can keep avoiding it myself. my anxiety is SPIKING tho
