Once I have gone through the process of translating my thoughts into English, I feel a bit calmer. I can quietly put away things that I don't need to say ๐

I took my kids to the library. While I was there, I picked up a book about foreign labor employment and another about Vietnam. And of course, a book about banh mi ๐
Autumn leaves, blue skies, and coffee bought at a convenience store. My kids are playing in the park. It's wonderful to be able to casually drink freshly brewed coffee for under a dollar.
When English sentences are translated automatically, emojis sometimes end up in strange positions. I just realized that this may be because I'm trying to express an emotion at the end of a sentence, but the translation engine is treating the emoji as a single word ๐ค
In Japan, November 23rd is a national holiday, so we have a three-day weekend. Tomorrow is Labor Thanksgiving Day, so I'm going to give myself a pat on the back for working...while taking care of my kids ๐

There is a poem by Shuntaro Tanikawa called "Morning Relay." I often remember this when I wake up in the morning and look at Nostr. I receive the morning you spent, and my day begins.

I'm glad I don't have to rush tomorrow morning, but I'm already so sleepy I'm heading to bed.
I really enjoy chatting with my husband over beer ๐
I'm having a beer and potato snacks in the evening ๐ป๐
It's cold, so I'll have hotpot tonight ๐ฒ
Nostrasia 2025 is being held in Tokyo today. I'm not participating, but I did draw an illustration to be projected at the venue. View quoted note โ
Just having Tsumagari cookies gives me a sense of peace of mind. I'll keep them as my secret snack and cherish them, eating them little by little.
Oh, I'm going to work part-time from noon today, so I realized I won't be able to do Nostr for a while this afternoon. Hmm, I'm wondering when I should post my illustration.
My part-time job company also booked my medical checkup for me. I've been a freelancer for over a decade, so I'm impressed with the benefits of being employed ๐
At my part-time job, I've been asked to help with the operational preparations and documentation for accepting technical intern trainees from Vietnam. I never thought I'd end up doing so much desk work at this workplace ๐
I've already washed the kids' water bottles today ๐
It's so cold that I'm moving slowly, like a cold-blooded animal.
It's already winter ๐ฅบ
For now, I just want Adobe to be a bit more reliable.
I'm comfortable using a centralized service like Twitter or Facebook, for now.
