If you could do everything at once. . . .
For some reason, hookah hits me really hard. It gives me more of a rush than weed, cigarettes, alcohol, anything I have tried. It's just this amazing slam to the head, leaves me reeling sometimes. Pretty awesome. Also, kind of discombobulating.

Plotting my hammock making. This is pretty awesome. ^_~

As for things mentioned previously:

My mother had her surgery today. She is doing well - she's just doped up on Vicodin for the pain. I'll be seeing her tomorrow evening, as I am going back to Naples for the weekend again.

I also decided that I really want to do the Tokyo program. Not as cool city-wise as Kyoto - would much rather be in Kyoto than Tokyo - but the program at Sophia is more what I'm looking for than the program at the Kyoto Center. So, it looks like mid-February to the end of July in Tokyo, providing all paperwork goes through properly. *crosses fingers*

I am seriously reeling from the hookah. Calm, brain, calm!
