forty six days.

september 21st

i checked my counter today. i've been in japan for forty six days. this seems like a significant number. somewhat comparable to what it actually feels like. but then again 46 days seems like a lot, longer than i've actually been here. forty six days is the longest i've been out of portland city limits. it is the longest i've gone without breathing in fresh oregon air. forty six days is the longest i've been without eating my mom's homemade bread. and i wouldn't be surprised if it's the longest i've been without papa murphy's pizza. and you know how i know 46 days IS a long time? i am finally enjoying the last mercury i picked up, the date of the 'one day of a time' that i am partaking in is 'july 25'. 'july 25'!! do you know how many days of celebrity mocking i have missed? i could do the math...but basically close to forty six days worth. shit.
