I have assignments to complete, a room to clean, groceries to get, books to order, and packages to send. I can't manage any of it right now.
Instead of doing practical things, I would much rather take my bike and get lost someplace, absorbing the sights, sounds, and smells of this city that I have come to love in my short time here.
I can't manage that, either.
Right now, all of my effort is focused on simply not being sad.
I miss home. Not the place, but the people there. I miss them dearly.
But I can't get excited about being reunited with them, because that reunion means my time in Kyoto is finished. And that--the end of the single most amazing thing I have ever done--will break my heart, if I let it.
So, this weekend, I'm doing my best to become a robot. Productive, not emotive.
Let's hope it works, or it's gonna be a long, stressful week.
