So I haven't ...

... written one of these for awhile and since I'm home sick I thought I'd slap one up between naps. So as I said I'm sick. Nothing I can't handle, but unpleasant just the same. Life continues to revolve around work over here. I think there is like 4 more weeks of this term then a two week "break" meaning all the little kiddies get to take off but us worker bees get to stick around and twiddle our thumbs. However since I haven't used hardly any holidays yet I may take off and do a trip or something.
BUT ... and this brings me to my next bit of news ... I may just hang around Himeji, Osaka, Kobe BECAUSE 1. Eric will be visiting sometime this July and so I'll want to have some holidays left for that also want to have money saved up and 2. I just bought my ticket to go visit home this August and that set me back a bit so I need to start saving again. So on the topic of summer trip my ticket has me flying in on August 3rd and touching down round about 9:49pm. I will be in town til Monday August 20th when I take off again at 8:40am. So you all can't complain now. I've given you over 5 months notice of when I will be around. You are all more than welcome to visit me over here, but for you poorer folks this is your oppertunity to get your daily dose of Vitamin-Steve. As far as plans go it's pretty much first come first serve. I will certainly spend several days with my family, but that doesn't preclude doing things in the evening of the same day. Also the 5th of August is a " No No" for you friend type peoples. I will be making an appearance around the holidays this year too so if you miss me this summer (or even if you didn't!) you have a chance this coming December. Those plans are still in the works, but it will be a shorter stay than this summer.
Yoko and I are doing well. Nothing new to report there. Other than the fact she was very sweet and came over on Wednesday night and cooked me dinner. It was very sweet, she made a soup that she said is good for sickness. Anyway thats all for now :).
