Done my BA kind of? We were waiting for our health check up when my colleague said they wanted to skip the barium this year too and asked about me. I made an answer that sounded so stupid to me: “yeah I’ll do it because you don’t know you have something until (brain freezes) … you have something.”

I am quite surprised by my bank (SMBC) efficiency 😅. I have no idea how that happened but someone tried to use my card on Rakuten and the bank notified me of a suspicious payment. I could get it cancelled right away as well as the card (gosh… all the subscriptions I’ve got to deal with now…).

If you spot me sneaking around parking looking at random cars know that my son developed an obsession for a specific tail light that’s actually not so common and we cannot put him to bed if he does not at least see one. Yes I’m typing this as we’re walking around with him looking for one 🙃

We successfully passed the interview and I now face a mountain of paperwork and there’s a packet about sewing stuff, they're too kind, I’m never gonna sew anything, thank you 😆. Also the cost for the uniform (that realistically, he will never want to wear) was mind blowing 💸💸💸💸💸
I didn’t expect to be this busy this year with my new boss lady hat. Not expecting any improvement cause in an unforeseen turn of events, our daycare is kicking out all 3 yo+ and our only viable option is a Catholic kindergarten and 85% of the mothers are not working and I've got to join the 母の会 😬

We were standing by the fire station (my son is in an intense fire truck period) and a fire fighter opened the door, called us in and offered my son to sit on the truck with the lights on—the video of his face is PRICELESS, you can see him *glowing* with joy, like you’d see his smile in the dark 😂

In 2024, over 20,000 babies born in Japan - 3% of the total - were foreigners. This number includes babies born to two non-Japanese parents, and babies born out of wedlock to a foreign mother. www.nikkei.com/article/DGXZ...
日本生まれの赤ちゃん3%が外国人 2024年2万人超、低出生補う新段階 - 日本経済新聞
日本で2024年に生まれた外国人が2万人に達し、新生児に占める割合が3%を超えた。ともに初めての水準とみられる。働き手世代を中心に在留外国人は総人口の約3%まで増えてきたが、出生段階でも日本の低出生数をある程度補う新たなステージに入った。規制強化だけに偏らない、共生策を含めた外国人政策がより重要になる。厚生労働省の人口動態統計では、「両親とも外国籍」か「嫡出ではない子のうち母が外国籍」の場合に

My mother is coming soon, which means I’m placing an insane book order for the kid. I want them all… Can’t make… choice… Aaah.

After an entire year going to see trains every day, rain or shine, I’m happy to announce the child is now into… boats. Closer to my own taste, though a logistically complicated new interest (blessed be YouTube).

The article is super interesting but they entirely skipped the ‘young people don’t have the ¥¥¥¥¥¥’ paragraph. I don’t think it’s the “lack of experience attending weddings” playing any role here. If people had the money without going bankrupt, they probably would party with friends and family.
This move poses a serious threat to the industry of fake priests and karaoke parlor style wedding chappels in Japan...

My blog hosting contract expires in 2 months and like last year, I’m really tempted to pull the plug. I don’t have fun on Internet anymore, my Wordpress is broken beyond my ability to work on it… My hosting contract is also expensive, but I don’t see myself doing one more transfer…

Oh they should be concerned. We’re in the thick of it in our part of Kita Ward and everything is going up. Friends who bought an apartment 49 mil 5 or 6 years ago are reselling it at 65. Land price hiked so high, locals who were planning on purchasing are pushed out.
There are plans build high rise apartments on parts of the site of the Takashimadaira Housing Complex in Itabashi. Local residents are concerned the character of the area will change, and rents will be hiked. www.yomiuri.co.jp/national/202...
