Exhausted, yet the eve has just begun!

Spent the "whole day" tiding up my apartment for my friend who is coming to stay over golden week. GOLDEN WEEK! FUCKING A! (so there is no confusion the a is for awesome) (i should so write phonics flash cards....)

Cant wait to start relaxing , I soooo need this... anyway spent the whole day tiding and buying food and a rice cooker :D finally, its just too inconvenient to boil the stuff!

Eep im late!

Short one

Unfortunately this has to be short becaus ei have to go to wrok extra early.... *grumble grumble*
Stupid kids and their incredibly annoying parents.

Anyway Im not at all embarrassed about blacking out (which btw sounds better than fainting thank you veryu much) because the tranq they gave me could have knocked out a god. A god of war no less.... one with a high percentage of red orbs too.

Ok future news for once, Golden week is right around the corner! FUCKING YAY! I have a whole 9 days off!!! YEAH 9!!! in a fucking row too!! i am so happy, i was burning out with the incredible work load for the last two months (the two busiest of the year). Also I have a friend visiting me for those 9 days, she is another GEOS teacher and we're gonna go crazy and maybe even visit a few places!

woo. Promise to take pictures and write in regularly, cos I can.

OK!

It was nice to have a break and all (:P) but i should get back to blogging now. Hehe

Ok so i suppose I'll make this slightly longer, though i really do want to keep the system that i tried earlier. My Wrist.
Good title for the first paragraph. So after i went and saw the doctor and he said it was broken i had a good two weeks to get pity and wait until I could go back to see him, because of training and his office hours. So i finally got back there on tuesday and the first thing he tells me after ive got in is that i dont have a broken wrist.
I am verily confused at this point but after about 10 mins of bad english and calling for nurses he finally gets across that it may instead mean that i have torn my ligaments between a couple of bones... yup, torn ligaments. My history of wierd injuries and illnesses grows i tell thee...

So he gave me an injection, like straight into the bone, almost perpendicular to my hand it was, and that was it. Just after the injection, the doc asked me if i was alrite.
How nice of him, i of course said yes. However not two seconds after he asked me I got hit in the face with mass drowsieness. He was still talking at this point but it was so boring that I just had to daydream. Then not very long after that I heard a very distant *crash* *bang* and opened my eyes to find myself being bodily picked up off the floor and being put on the bed. Apparently id blacked out... 0_o
I was ok tho and am going back next week, for another injection and by then they will have my brace ready.

Sorry

recently i have had some ... troubles so i did not feel like posting and over the next three days i will be away on trainig... so regular updates will continue soon

So...

Oh before i continue the tokyo reminiscing I'll just tell you, i plan on putting all my photos on some kind of group site, like myspace but probably not myspace, is there a specific one any of u guys want me to dump them onto?

Tokyo! So we checked in a decided to do a little walking around the place. There is a big area in downtown called ginza which hosts all these shops, and naturally that is the first thing my mum wanted to do :D. So we headed down there, and my parents started complaining of hunger. I was oblivious to all of this because of the "bright lights" and all, so after a while of not finding something japanesey they decided to sod it and we went to a Subways!

While we were out we found a pub at the bottom of the sony store. We were in the sony store to begin with because apparently they sell "protoype" quality goods, so i was intruiged. Also I actually bought a pair of headphones that were rather expensive... MDR-S1000 or somet... VERY VERY good tho.

So this pub, i got well excited and because dad was tired of all the shopping mum suggested we go in for a bite to eat and a drink to guzzle. We got inside and it was completely un pub like... it was so ordered and there was no atmosphere to speak of... I was rather dissappointed, tho i did have a very nice scone with my Hoegaarden... which almost makes up for it.

havent actually missed a day

Time delay and all from being in japan.

So i went to the hospital at about 9:10 full of expectations and hope for a full clear and some helpful japanese stlye pills. I finally get seen at around 10:30 and they say that the X-ray I had a couple of days ago shows no problem. I know this is wrong and at last my wrist gives my doc the proof by clicking and cracking a couple of times. He explained that the only thing it could be was:
a) nothing
b) a broken wrist

... honestly those were my options... so i believe its b) as usually my wrist doesnt crack continuously... nothing indeed!

So he said some japanese lark, we had a bit of a communication barrier and then he finally got across that i needed a CT scan. So i went and had one and at about 11:15 i was finished and ready for the doc again. However I didnt have time, i need to be at GEOS at 12:00 so i had to leave AGAIN. They said that I could come back on tuesday to finish, heaven forbid they actually tell a different doctor my condition and show him the scans...
So i left feeling a bit disgruntled but got to GEOS and realised i am away on trainig that day! Oooh cripes, so i phones up ( i say "i" but i mean i force my japanese co worker to phone up) and complain (he hates complaining) about this predicament, but there is "nothing" they can do so i am stuck with an appointment in two weeks... for a broken wrist....
bah life sucks, more tomorrow

tokyo

Even though i got up late today I am striving to complete a blog post, this time I will start the posting about tokyo.

So I had to get up at abou 6 to catch the right shinkensen down to ueno and then made a switch to the keisei line to take me to the airport. All in all that was about 3 hours of travelling and I realised on the way down i didnt really know when they were getting in, on which airline and at which terminal.
On the seat ahead infront of me was a list of the airlines and the correct terminal and so i picked the one with the most english sounding airlines and hoped :D.
I got their and saw that there was a flight at about the right time, although it had been delayed, so I waited around, whilst looking at the new comers to japan and thinking "god they're so british".
Which they were :P, some of them were ridiculous, like they had been pulled out of a jane austen book.
Then, just as i went to get a drink, these two familiar faces appeared and we all cheered and wooped and hugged.

Got into tokyo around 1 hour later and checked into our rooms....

I'll finish this tokyo thing later, its late and i missed my second hospital appointment. grumble grumble. I have to go again tomorrow and hope they still remember me :D

Hospital

So yeah im off to the hospital in about half an hour to check out my wrist.
T'all started 3 or 4 weeks ago, i was playing with my kids, as i often do after a lesson and one of my favourite things to do is to swing them around. Basically grab them by the wrists and use my height and supreme amounts of power to launch them into the air. I havent hurt one of them yet. :D

Only I have come under any pain really, I was swinging a particularly heavy kid around and my wrist went *crack*. I went *ow* and all my kids went *huh?*.
Im not one to complain about physical injuries to anyone really so i waited for a couple of weeks in the hope that it would just get better. During this time my wrist wouldnt stop cracking to itself, and sometimes it really hurt when it did said cracking. So, like the genius i am, i carried on swinging my students around, and lo and behold it cracked again on the same hand. Now that hurt...

So i decided to go to the hospital. However that was about 1 and a half weeks ago and I literally havent had a free day to go to the hospital in all this time, so now im worried that because i've left it so long it will click forever. That be my story for today, and i hope to report to u tomorrow about how good my hand is.

Silly

This is (insert title from above). I keep on promising to get better but then forgetting to do jack about posting. So instead of trying to catch up in one long post before settling back into the rythmn im gonna try a different tack, which is, post a little each day so my info wont dry up.

This hopefully should work cos i have a lot of things to tell u all about that have happened recently.

Heres to hoping, and no the first one wont be now as its late and i need sleep. I go to the hospital tomorrow u see.... but i will tell u that the same day i go.
