I took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my heart: I am, I am, I am.

The can of chemicals I injected into various parts of my tatami have worked a miracle.

I am breathing my arse off right now.

I'm going to be vacuuming every day for now, which is a bit of a hassle but worth it. It's sooo much better at my place though. I knew it was bad but you don't really appreciate how bad until things are better.

Japanese lesson tonight and I have managed to lose the book with all my carefully organised notes in it. This is what I get for cleaning my apartment, I have no idea where anything is now.
