Climbing Up Again.

I’m starting to feel a bit better.

I can’t believe I’ve already been in Japan for a week. Considering I’ve spent a good portion of it horizontal, I’m not too thrilled about that aspect, but at least I’m here.

I’m really looking forward to going to Kyoto, just to get out of Okazaki for a few days, and to sleep on a bed like I’m used to for two nights.

I can’t wait! I’m going to find a real bath to soak in for a few days.

I can’t do futons. It’s like sleeping on a steel examining table, only less comfortable.

Rock Bottom.

In one day, I think I’ve hit rock bottom.

Soon after my last post I started getting dizzy, and I’ve been dizzy every since. Not room-spinning-dizzy, but bad enough to make me feel lousy. Add that to my increasingly sore back, my sore backside, and I think I’ve pretty much hit rock bottom. (Pun intended? I guess.)

I know I should never tempt “worse.”

It’s probably a migraine. Knowing what it is doesn’t make me feel any less lousy.

I hate to admit it, but right now, I just want to be in my own bed for a week or so. It’s not helping that the futon I have is as hard as a steel-coated diamond with extra concrete reinforcement.

My Japanese teacher, Itou-Sensei, tells me that most Japanese like hard beds.

Now I see the cultural divide between us.

Ah well. This too shall pass.
