We are halfway through the week and I'm still trying to create a new rythm to my life. I am forcing myself to get into bed by a certain time so that I can wake up early in the morning. I've been sleeping at 3am and waking up at 11am these days. However last night I forced myself into bed at 10, but couldn't really get to sleep until 12. I woke up at 8 this morning and hopefully tonight will be easier.
It's my boyfriend's birthday this weekend and we are heading down to Osaka. The flight takes off extremely early in the morning so we have to leave the house at 5:30am! So on Friday night, I'm hoping to be in bed by 8pm so I can feel refreshed for my flight.
Nothing special in my life, except that it's been a pretty boring week. As usual, I'm starting to feel myself getting cornered into a rut and have to try and get myself out again. Bell's Palsy has kept me cooped up inside most of the time and I still don't really enjoy meeting people. On some days, everything's fine, but sometimes for an entire week, half of my face is in pain and I start to get twitches beneath my left eye. It's really inconvenient and gets me depressed.
I have so many things I must do this week and I'm not even half done. I really need to sit down and make that list I've been meaning to tackle. Next week, I'll meet a friend for some wine and a heart-to-heart with him, which should be relaxing. I was planning on having a dinner party at my house this month, but there's just not enough time for it all. Time management is the keyword here and I am bad at it!
I'll be going to Bangkok again next month and I'm actually looking forward to it. I just want to have a good time and relax!!!

My mother's trip
Feels like a long time, yet feels like it was just yesterday. She's leaving back to Hawaii tonight and I feel kind of sad. She got me up early every morning and fed me so much food I gained close to 3 kilos since she got here. I've been eating less since yesterday so got rid of half a kilo. Now I have to burn the rest off when she leaves starting tomorrow.
Yesterday her brother and sister-in-law came over for a visit. It was fun and we all had a nice Italian lunch. Right after, her friend came for a chat and then it was off to dinner with my mom and my boyfriend. What I noticed about my mother was that whenever we go out and eat, she seems very quiet and bored. I don't think she enjoys eating out as much as she used to. She prefers staying at home these days. The only time she enjoys eating at restaurants are at buffets and now I know why. She can't stand sitting still for a long time and at buffets, she can go back and forth between sittings to get her food. Now I understand why she loves buffets so much. Even at home, she never stays still....always doing something. Wiping the table, flicking some dust off the shelves, cooking something, doing laundry, watering the plants. Always moving. I told her one day that she should just relax and she said she gets tired sitting and sleeping.
Today my boyfriend comes home early from work to have lunch with us and then he'll take us to the airport. I think I need to treat him to a nice dinner this weekend for being so nice to my mom.
Yeah, my mom was still demanding and stubborn. She sometimes gets me so stressed out it's not funny. However when she's away, I always wonder how she's doing....if she's eating well...if she's talking to someone...if she's going out for her daily walks, and I start to miss her.
Well I'll miss her again and hopefully she'll be back sometime this year. I wish her a safe and pleasant trip back and I hope she had a good time while she was here in Japan.
