Tuesday Yokohama, and the wall is finished, and so on
In the midst of all the school-changing crap I forgot to actually mention what I did.
So actually, Monday night after I finished writing my entry here, I also ended up finishing the remaining part of the wall splitting the living room from Jenny's room-to-be.
This was what the first half of this project looked like.
I basically made a cardboard wall/doorstopper to fill in the remaining space, like this.
First, I used two bookcase boxes for this segment. I folded the end in -- this was firstly so that it'd be the right width, and second, to basically make a doorstop so the sliding door could go up against it.
I taped the first one in, then had to adjust the second one to fill the remaining space vertically, but managed to do it by cutting off the bottom part after interlocking the triangle side.
Here's what it looks like from the other side with the door shut:
And then I decorated it again! This time I used a Fighters calendar poster, a Seibu Prince Rabbits poster (yay for defunct ice hockey teams), a Munenori Kawasaki poster that I had actually bought for a former student who disappeared from GEOS, and then part of a Fighters newspaper for the bottom.
And now I have a wall. With a door in the middle.
Anyway...
Tuesday I spent the afternoon catching up on some stuff after staying up too late on Monday night (after all that I also played PP until like 3am... whoops) and then in the late afternoon went down to Yokohama to watch baseball with Ken and Westbay. It would have been a lot of fun had I not received the phone call right before the game saying I have to switch schools, which put me in a super-bad mood.
The Baystars lost, but it was to Chunichi, so I'm kind of okay with that. Also I got to see Shintaro Ejiri pitch two innings for Yokohama, which breaks my heart in a way since he was one of the Fighters players I totally adored and they just traded him to the Baystars. Sigh. Oh, and we got to see Sign Guy after the game, so that was also another bright spot in the day for me.
Bleh.
Sometime late Tuesday evening I developed some serious pain in my stomach and it was actually really uncomfortable getting to sleep -- it wasn't my normal acid problem but something else. I was asleep through most of it but I kept waking up shivering and feeling really crappy.
I'd planned to get up today and go to Jingu to watch some college ball, but when I woke up, not only did I feel like utter crap still, BUT it was raining. So as it turns out one of the games got cancelled and so in theory I can go tomorrow before I go meet up with my company to find out WTF is going on.
So instead I went and got my hair re-done. They were really nice about it and the dude who did my hair the first two times did it again and it does look better now, or at the very least it definitely looks different, like I got a haircut. He layered it like he did the other time and I think I'll have to do stuff to get used to it but it'll be okay.
Jenny did arrive in the country okay, and I ended up going to Nippori to get her. Sam also came by with a second key and I begged him for a ride to the station, and so on. So I guess now is just settling in time. And I should catch up on blogging and whatnot, and figure out how to cancel my E-mobile internet too, while I'm at it. Blargh. I'm just a pile of stress lately, I swear.
