This Is Definitely Moving Week

 We got our dates mixed up last week!

This week is definitely moving week, but there is so much to do and I'm really not coping!

I'm trying to break things down into smaller, more manageable blocks of work but even doing that things are taking a lot longer than I thought they would. 

This morning I thought it would take half an hour to finish cleaning out the walk in closet in my room, took over an hour! I never thought of myself as a hoarder but after seeing how big this space is I need to rethink that!  At one point you couldn't walk in here at all.

Bigger than I remember

Christopher scrubbed under the stove. I've never used that cupboard as the oil seems to drip from the stove. Cleaning it is a real pain and one thing that I couldn't do.

I've also started on the pantry, I'll try and finish it tonight!  I have two big cooler boxes to put food in until Tuesday when the fridge goes.

I really hope we can get everything done this week. I just don't have money to stay here any longer.  Most of our students are staying with us but some have quit, kind of no choice.  

I need a different income. I've looked at sites for teaching on line in Japan but most ask for a degree or a TEFL qualification, which I don't have. The ones that don't ask for qualifications seem a bit ify!!

Hannah seems settled into her apartment. One week today! She calls everyday, usually asking about cooking.  She is cooking for herself but cooking for one is hard, she ends up with too much and has to eat the same thing for two or three days. I'm glad that she is trying to cook and not living on ready made meals. That would be so easy as there is a convivence store very close to her apartment.

Some of her meals from this week.

Yesterdays dinner

pasta lunch

one of her first meals

just a little something before bed.

I have no idea when I'll have chance to write again, I hope in a couple of days but who knows?

One problem is the Wi-Fi. We will finish with the company here the end of the month but won't have it set up until December 5th or 6th. Help!! How to survive without Wi-Fi!?
