11 days to go...

only 11 days to go. It feels like an eternity!! Last week was tough although I did manage to get to the gym twice...managed to lose 10 ounces and drop one eighth off my waist. I'm very proud of my 39 and 7/8 waistline now. Stressed to the hilt and looking like I'm 90...marvellous.

Worked 6 days this week and it pissed rain on the day off I had...typical really. So that means no photos of birds, buildings, stupid stuff or anything!! The streets are now alive with the sound of Christmas carols blaring out from the public tannoy system, which is a bit freaky really. Mind you, it has been that way for the last few weeks. It's crazy. Watching people scurry around trying to ignore the westernization of Japan...ah well, it's bound to happen sooner or later and the rate that McD's is springing up on every corner the nation that once lived the longest will not live the longest anymore. Maccers is always packed and the kids just love the stuff. Mind you, I am partial to the Big Mac here, rather tasty...

Anyway, I ramble. A big congrats out to Mike and Fiona back home who got engaged recently...fabulous. And of course to Dr. Carmody and Dr. Keeshan for also doing the same. Looking forward to seeing you all sooooonnnnnnnn.

Been watching Grey's Anatomy recently...hooked.
