Ugh...

I am soooooo sick of the weather. The constant rain is pissing me off and I am fed up of feeling icky with the humidity. At the moment I am constantly cranky and not a very nice person to be around! I have lost track of the number of times I have snapped at Joey and I feel bad because it isn`t even his fault, and the poor boy is probably bored out of his brain because we never go anywhere fun these days!! This morning I put a few things in a bag in a vague attempt to start packing and I realised that I am sooo far for being ready for this trip it is silly! There is a typhoon due to come to Kyushu over the weekend/ on monday so everyone has to send "be gone by wednesday" vibes to the typhoon because I think if I spend one day longer than necessary in Japan at the moment, I am going to snap and punch somebody.. probably my husband for making me live in this godforsaken country in the first place!!! (Although I didn`t actually come to Japan to be with him but I did stay here for him so it is only partly his fault that I have to put up with all the bugs and crap weather!!) On the bright side, it is only FIVE sleeps until I leave Kagoshima and six sleeps until I leave Japan! I don`t hate Japan but I am definitely at a point where a month away would be a good thing! I guess things had built up without me realising it and the crappy weather and constant rain has brought everything to a head!!!

aww I totally know how you feel! Up until I went home in April I was happy, then a week before I was all about getting there fast!

So sending vibes for your safe travels!

Oh babe! And here we are doing our best for Dh to get his next post in Japan. Living outside of Japan (and the US) really taught us to appreciate it. I will never complain about Japan again. The rain, humidity and all.

I am fascinated by Japan and all things Japanese, so I would love to hear more about why you are anxious to leave. I have never been there, but watching "Lost in Translation" made me realize how completely alien I would feel there. Still, I hope to go someday.

Here via michele, and hope your weather improves!

I am a bit of a Japan-nut as well so I don`t hate Japan most of the time but I guess that some days I crave "normality" in that I want to blend in in the crowd, I want to speak English and I want to be near my friends from home and family. I guess I am just in need of a holiday right now!!

Bad rainy weather always depletes me too. It's not just you, everyone gets bummed when all it does is rain. We need the sunshine to fuel good moods. Hopefully, once you get to Europe the weather will be better. I know that we had something like 17" of rain last month and I was beside myself I was such a grump. Now it's hot and sunny and I feel more alive.

Have a great trip, and soak up as much sun as you can.
