going to bed alone is the easy part
It's getting out of bed alone in the morning that's the hardest. Walking into a kitchen that isn't mine, going through the motions of making breakfast, sustaining myself, speaking to no-one, there is an emptiness in me that is more vast than I ever thought possible.

then never come to Japan alone. Sometimes DAYS go by where I don't get a chance to talk to anyone.
I'm coming home though, October 19~29th. Hopefully our paths will cross to catch up on, well, everything!
Feel better!

If I was smarter, I would have remembered to save your email address. Just wondering if there was any news about my T-shirt? My sister mailed a box of stuff to me and it hasn't shown up either. So I am going to file a complaint with the post office here in Taiwan. But wanted to check to see if there was any update and if there was any type of tracking number or something. Thanks

Oy.

OK, how did that happen? I posted my correction, but not my original comment.
Let's try again:
I know what you mean. Mornings were the worst for me, and you just described that feeling achingly well.
