Newnessosity

I know it isn't a word but I like how it rolls off the tongue.  And it helps show my feelings at the moment.  I have started looking at Korea as if it were a new place.  I went back to the guide books and travel sites and blogs about travels here and I am making a list of the things I plan to see this year.  I do not know if I will stay here again, though my boss has already asked me to, and I don't plan on thinking about that until I need to.  But I am going to live here like I am leaving, and that means seeing all the things I missed last time.  I had big plans to go out and explore this weekend, but I ended up staying in for a lot of it, besides a few hour walk around my apartment, because it was just way too cold and windy.  I did get some pretty awesome pictures on my walk, as well as a fresh burst of life that comes from walking around with no destination and simply enjoying being where you are at the moment.  I came home and cooked food and pampered myself with some girly stuff.  I hung out with my new kitty Dash.  Oh, for those of you that don't know, Ginger ran away about a week before christmas, and sadly, I have been unable to find her.  I adopted Dash after seeing him online and falling for his eyes and his resemblance to Ginger.   There is a chance that he may be her litter mate, but I am not sure.  We had a few rocky days, but now we are pretty cuddly and he is snuggled next to me under the blanket, twitching in his sleep as I write this.  Not a lot else to report.  I am almost finished with the tattoo, soon I will post pictures, I am making lists of places to see and things to do, and once it warms up a little bit, I plan to be super busy traveling around and seeing the sights.  I am off now to reheat some pancakes I made this morning (which just aren't as good without maple syrup)  and to maybe crack open a bottle of wine and watch a movie.  I leave you with a picture of Dash and some of my walk.  Have a great day peeps!
