Damn it's been a long time!

Yea, so... When I said 'tomorrow night' in my last post on 十月 (juugatsu - October) fifth, my intentions were definitely not to post again until 十一月 (juuichigatsu - November) ninth!!

I have been so busy with work and by the time I get home and get my 犬 (inu - dog) taken care of and whatever else I have to do, I just haven't had a lot of motivation to sit down here in the study cubby and get to work. Brain strain, I say. Seems like I'm mentally exhausted and just veg in front of the TV.

Well, I received news last 金曜日 (kin'youbi - Friday) that my company has been sold and now we have new ownership. Depending on what it takes to get things stabilized again (we haven't been profitable in awhile), who knows whether I'll still have a job in the coming weeks. o_O Pretty scary stuff.

However, I've been working hard this year to get my spirituality in order and be on better terms with my Creator. With that being said, I'm trying hard to put my worry and concern in His hands and make the best of the situation. I know He will not bring me to something I can't get through and that is that.

All of that considered, I realized the other day that there is really a hidden (so to speak) opportunity here for me to get back on track with 日本語. This language could really take me somewhere if I can become fluent. Not just for pleasure but in terms of my career.

New motivation if you will. ^_^

So here I am.

Tonight, I went back over all the ひりがな pronunciation again, concentrating specifically on the R-line and the very subtle (at least to me) differences between す and つ.

Feels really great to be back here. Gotta try not to let the brain strain/mental exhaustion beat me down to the extent that it's another month before I'm back here again.

Anyway, until next time...

またね!!
