Thank you so much to everyone for all the "get well" wishes. I'm happy to say, I'm all back together again.
Lately, I've been in a bit of a blogging slump, so Big Cat's announcement of BLOGTOBERFEST has come at a perfect time for me. I'm going to try to break out and get back into blogging regularly.
I have a busy month ahead of me actually, so hopefully I'll have something blogworthy to say. My big sister is arriving on Monday for a three week visit to Japan. It's her first time here, so I am very excited. I have a few days off next week, so we're going to Kyoto. I love the old Japanese capital and it's been a couple of years since I was there last. I might even see if I can talk her into getting done up as a geisha with me. It's a terribly touristy thing to do, but I have always wanted to try it.
This is one place I'm sure to take here, the bamboo forest in Arashiyama.
Before she arrives, we're madly trying to prepare the apartment. I'm moving as much as I can out of my crowded workroom to make way for her futon.
Oh, and one last piece of news! I became and aunt today!
