I think seasons are a big trigger for me, too, as well as just stress (though it always seems to me like my reaction to stress is quite delayed...I don't know why...guess that's just how my body works). Three-day weekends seem to help...wish every week could be a three-day weekend! Ha ha. I will definitely let you know about H&M sizes as soon as I am able to get into the store to check things out. Apparently another store is opening in November in Harajuku, and then another in Shibuya next year, so hopefully after those are open crowds will thin out and become manageable. I was living in New York when the first H&M in the US opened there, and the lines were crazy!! Given that this is Japan where people are not afraid of lines, it could remain crazy for a while (e.g. Krispy Kreme!). Hope your weekend was great!<BR/><BR/>Girl Japan - working out is definitely something I need to do more of!! Dancing around in pajamas to music is a GREAT idea - I think I will try that. The company where I was previously was a foreign (American) financial company in Tokyo, but unfortunately my bad job luck started long before that. Thankfully my current workplace is a somewhat sane one!

UQ will have to compete with their Euro chicness. <BR/><BR/>I don't normally do crowds. Where in the heck did you work that was so horrible? But I have had my share of those , in fact I find I am the "jane of all trades" in Japan..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6069958.post-23222675242600651312008-09-14T08:06:00.000+09:002008-09-14T08:06:00.000+09:00What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, is s...What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, is so right!!! Ha ha ha you are so right about that! <BR/><BR/>I'm sorry you are in a funk right now. I too get in a funk about twice a year. And it can last a few days to even a whole week even. I think for you it could be the post job change stress also it could be because you have been *so* busy. You are bound to wind up in a funk once in a while. It's natural and heck it hits us all, you are never alone with that my friend. : ) I think mine could be seasonal or perhaps I take on too much with the kids school stuff and feel run down and ragged at times. And then builds up in me every 6 months. : (<BR/><BR/>I think you need this 3 day weekend you are getting. Hopefully you can recharge your batteries so to speak. You deserve it. You really *really* do. <BR/><BR/>OMG, I had no idea H&M opened up in Tokyo. You are the best info share person I know!!! Thank you, thank you! Ohh Deena, you should go do some retail therapy if you can fine some time. But yeah if it is new, it could be totaly overly crowded huh. Drats! : ( Please update if you check out the sizes, would love to know about the sizing. I have never ever went to an H&M store before but I have always wanted to, even just to take a look. Have heard about them for a long time. Just never been in one. <BR/><BR/>Have a good weekend. I have a 2 day weekend, (Sunday and Monday) will be spending it on the couch with sweatpants, with remote control in hand. Ha ha ha. : )Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02427544303742999100noreply@blogger.com
