Aloha friends!
My kids were sick most of the week so…I was Nurse mom basically. There was lots of tissues, snot and coughing. 😩 I did get to read some books while I was caring for the kids at least.
We finally got the day of when my husband has to be in Okinawa, Japan for work. Dunno if I mentioned it here, but he applied to a few jobs (he works for the federal government)…because he needed something new. He’s been at his position for the past 10 or 11 years? And he needed just something new and applied to many other jobs here but wasn’t getting offers. He applied to 2 contracts in job contracts in Japan and got both, but chose to go with the one in Okinawa. He has to be there by December 9th SO…it’s going to be a count down starting November. We have our postponed East Coast trip to visit his family mid November, for 2 weeks, then we come back to Hawaii, he does his final packing and will be gone.
I decided not to uproot our life here because we have a house, our dog, kids who just started the school year and it would have been really short notice to move overseas…plus it’s only a 2 year contract. Our plan is just to keep the family chugging along, with daddy long distance and we are already trying to plan a visit or a few visits if we can budget it out. And since I have to go to Okinawa, this will be my time to explore Japan! I’m excited, and somewhat stressed out too that I’ll be living the single-parenting life for a little while, but yeah…it will go by fast. At least I hope it will. Just gotta hold down the fort – as usual lol.
Hope you all had a good week!

Books I Read:
Currently Reading:
Shows/Movies I Watched:
- House of Dragons (HboMax) – the drama continues
Games I Played:
- My Singing Monsters
- Cooking Dash – still grinding!
- Just Dance – for exercise
- Splatoon 3 – I love it, but still hate the communication errors and I’ve been having way more of these than when I used to play Splatoon 2. So is it because they need to fix some things on it? Not sure but I still try and play it. But if I get too many connection errors, I stop.

Past Midnight Book Reviews & More 
I couldn’t read much but otherwise, my week was good.
Glad you had a good week!
I just bought The Atlas Six! I’m unsure if I’ll like it or not but I’m curious.
Same…it’s been all the hype, so I was curious. Hopefully we both enjoy it!
I hope everything works out with your husband’s job! My husband was going to go to Okinawa for the military but got out before then lol.
Oh wow! My husband only did 4 years in the Navy way before I met him and now his been working a fed job for the 13+ years? I would have gone if there was more time to plan but it’s okay. We’ll get to visit at least and it’s only for 2 years.🙏🏼
Yeah my husband did 4 years in the Marines. I’ve seen photos from others who have been stationed there and its gorgeous!
I’m looking forward to visiting! I heard it’s basically the Hawaii of Japan so I did think we would fit right in lol. My kids have been sick almost all this month and I told them we could have gone to Okinawa and I could have just homeschooled them at this rate since they have been home a lot!😅
