My first job in Japan, I started getting up at about 7 am, and the 'now' ex would make me breakfast, while I got dressed. I would take baths at night, despite being used to doing a routine in the states to take a shower in the am, before work. I would then come home from work about 7 pm, for dinner.
But, as my years in the company, and marriage went along, I started getting myself up at 6 am, made my own breakfast, did the dishes, and then went off to work, to come home about 10:30 pm, or later to eat dinner. Most cases, the ex would 'nuke' my meals, but I always ended up doing the dishes while she took her bath, first! I'd sometimes be to bed by 11:30 or midnight. I also had to work on
Saturdays, too. My average O.T. for the month was about 60, but I only got paid for 20!
After changing jobs, my commute time has increased, so it takes me an hour and a half to get to work. I work from 9 am to 5:30 pm, except Mondays and Thursdays, where I put in mandatory O.T. to teach English to my co-workers. At this point, I don't have other work to do yet, but I imagine I will be seeing rougher days. I usually return home by about 7 pm, but on the days that I teach, it ends up around 8 or 8:30. I usually just eat and go to bed.
Because I seem to be quite lucky to a certain extent, I don't need the aeresols, and I can get away with what I'm using for supplements and herbs for digestion. The proper diet helps, too.
However, with the bug I got since last December, I still don't feel 100%, seem to become tired quickly. Hopefully, a three day weekend will come up so I can rest a bit more, since I don't have any sick days, yet.
