Hi everyone!

Darn, that didn't last long. It's hard to feel like doing much but scroll through FB which is mostly really really boring.I'm posting on FB but it's one line with a picture. I'm starving for something but I don't know what. I'm emotional and it's really tiring. I posted on a divergent group on FB and one person told me I was selfish LOL ( Read more... )

I started this post on Wednesday but now it's Saturday. I am including the Friday Five and posting!

1. Do you buy and use canned food?Yes. I buy a lot of canned tuna, salmon and sardines for salads and tuna melts; canned tomato sauce, diced tomatoes for chili/meat sauce and stew. Canned beans are too expensive here so I use the dried variety ( Read more... )

Japan has a lot of national holidays. May is a month when we have a concentration of them. Actually, it all starts on April 29th (Showa Day - I think it was the Showa Emperor's birthday), then we have May 3rd (Constitution Memorial Day), May 4th (Green Day), and May 5th (Children/Boy's Day). So those lucky workers who can get holidays on Monday and ( Read more... )

1. Do you like other people buying you clothes?Hubby has pretty good taste, so I don't mind when he does sometimes, but it is better if we go together. Last summer, he bought me a dress that was "free size" which was not. I was losing weight so I used it as my incentive to get to my desired weight and now I can wear it. It is pretty and light ( Read more... )

I was delayed in posting because it took me some time to organize my thoughts. I am combining last week's news with this week's.

*************April 15th******************
1. Have you ever felt a generation gap with your friends?Very rarely. As I mentioned in the previous post, I feel at home with people both younger and older than me. Differences ( Read more... )

I'm writing this while I wait for the Friday Five to be posted. If they don't post today, I guess I will snag an older one from archives.

So this is from March 26, 2021 -

1) What spring holiday(s) do you celebrate?On February 3, we have Setsubun, a "holiday" (not a national rest day, just a special day) to cleanse the home of bad luck/demons and ( Read more... )

I've reposted my dreamwidth post -

1. If you could spend 24 hours locked in a room with anyone, from any time in history (including present) or a fictional character, who would you choose?Jesus. Yup ( Read more... )

So... Dreamwidth does not let me crosspost to a community, which is a pain. I'm posting here for now and maybe, possibly copying the post over there.

1. How many hours a day/night do you usually sleep?
6 1/2 to 7 hours. I have to wake up at 7 every day so, I try to go to bed by 12.

2. What do you do when you can't sleep?I put on my eye mask/ ( Read more... )

Our Easter Picnic last Saturday was a small affair, but it was nice.  They were all new kids so the experience was all new for them and they enjoyed it.  After we got home, I crashed on the living room carpet, then went out to get some drinks for dinner.  Having our Easter Picnic on Saturday was really nice because we could have our "nice dinner" ( Read more... )
