- that I can't go home to visit this year either
- how much chocolate I've been eating
- the way Japanese clothes fit--too loose and too tight in all the wrong places, like they were made for my exact opposite
- that my baby won't let me catch her vomit and instead nods her head vigorously mid-puke
- all the invitations to add stupid applications on Facebook
- Christians who bitch about universalizing health care in the US
- waiting at the OB/GYN for two hours every time when I have an appointment
- the way I walk. I'm trying to make my toes point forward instead of out and it's giving me backaches
- how passive I still am
- decaf instant coffee is the only decaf in Japan so I never get to taste freshly brewed coffee and won't until August
- that I didn't stay committed to Lent this year. It's so hard without the Episcopal church...
- that I don't spend much time in nature any more
- that the bread I like never seems to be on sale any more when I go to the grocery store
- that postage costs so much...I can't believe what my friends and family have spent to send me boxes. I am grateful, but I feel guilty.
- that I bought the wrong size cans of tomatoes for my tomato sauce experiment
- that my bread on Sunday didn't rise enough because I didn't get up early enough and so it was too salty. I wanted it to be perfect like the first time I made it.
- food prices...and they just keep going up!
- the subprime mortgage crisis and the fact that the schmucks who caused it aren't being punished for the havoc they created in markets all over the world
- how easy it is to write this list...
