Day 40 and 39

40 was Friday and got some good time in. But after that, ruined my Friday, Saturday and perhaps early spring. I met her on Sunday and it was really nice, and why I couldn't wait and risked it all left me depressed. So much so skipped work Monday. Today Tuesday day 39, quite anxious about the near future. That and Whitney's passing has been quite unsettling. She picks me up, I need to keep my head up.

Day 45 - 41

I got day 45 (Thu) in. Skipped work and gym Friday. Friday evening I hung out with the big guy at Mishima and Baobab, I think. Went home early to make sure I was energetic for my Saturday movie date with Nori. My bicycle was broken and couldn't find the time to take it to the bicycle shop. I left it locked next to Marui. I got on the train, took my bag with change of drawers just in case, headphones, but no iPad. So a lot of weight for nothing, so I put it in a locker. We saw tower heist and walker around Roppongi Hills freezing without a plan. Nori finally suggested Kichijoji which was ok, but wasn't sure what to do or how. We got off the train and she grabbed my arm, asking if that was ok. Sure. But ducked into the Peppermint Cafe as a safe landing. As usual the guys were happy to see me. And she was pleased by that. Then my bro called and said they were at Mishima. We finished dinner around 9:00pm and headed over. She met the guys and was as giddy as I was nervous. This led to Baobab as a group and finally Cheeky just three of us, meeting the owner. I had to peel here out of the place, especially since the big guy was acting jealous and like he wanted to intercept. Nice she could withstand all of that and stick by me. And everyone was thrilled to meet her. Ducked into our place and rested well past dawn. That night she said extremely happy and pleased. Me too.

44 Mon weight training. 43 Tue aerobic and walked to Shibuya to meet her BFF. Both from Aomori, but how did they meet. Harley bikers from their youthful day. My stomach sank, but mostly because thoughts of envy to the adventure of all that. Her BFF's husband was in the same unit as I was in Misawa and even though he wasn't there I would guess we would hit it off. However the combined knowledge of Nori's past would unsettle me, but for once I'm thankful I'm last up instead of one of those along the way.

42 Wed hung at Mishima and Baobad. 41 Thu difficult to get up and out of the house. Very late to the office, but brought my gym gear. My stomach and lower back fat is disappearing. I miss her already and can't wait to see her again. I'll try take the pressure off and stop by Hooters this evening.

Day 53-46

Day 53 Jan 18 I went after partying all night and missing work too. Was on call but didn't get any, but I made sure I went out again. Day 52 stayed home again but made sure I went by the JR. Day 51 I went again and met Tom to go to Hooters. We went to a dance club which was kind of empty but nice. At the end I met someone really nice but made sure I made the last train since I was on call. Day 50 Friday I went back to follow up with my new friend. Well there was an unofficial day 49 for Saturday. Left my gear at the gym and had to pick it up feeling great.

I only went Mon 48 and met her again on Thursday with no affect, but really nice. Kept it simple and skipped Friday, Sat, Mon. Tue 47 and Wed 46 (today), back at it feeling strong even though I'm behind schedule.
