Since my last writing (post? hehe technical terminology) it has not stopped snowing for any significant period of time. It has broken all the December records and is not looking like stopping. The current cold front is supposed to peak today but there will be another one here by Thursday or Friday. I have taken to wearing three pairs of socks. The outside pair is expendable warmth-wise and can therefore be removed if too much snow collects in my shoes when I try to get out of the house.
My house is becoming more and more nest-like. It is too cold in the sleeping room to be anywhere except bed so my unsorted clothes are piling up around the futon. The other night I must have been rather chilly because I woke up under a mountain of clothes that I had scooped onto my bed. Everything I need in the living room is within reach of the Kotatsu so I never have to remove my knees from their toasty place.
My predictions of enforced decisiveness of a few weeks ago were greatly exaggerated. When I went to hand the papers to my supervisor she asked me if I was sure and I said absolutely not and she asked me to think about it for another week!
Fortunately there was an opinion sharing session over on the mainland that weekend and I managed to find an Irishman to tell me what to do. So now I am just avoiding telling people as best I can until I find out whether or not I got the transfer (January sometime).
SO after that wee tempest in a teapot... (cup?)
I'm off to Korea on Friday (actually Saturday, Friday is the 10 hour bus to Tokyo) for a white Christmas.
Hope y'all are having good Christmas times and have spectacular New Year plans!
