changed my feline companion’s name to ゆめか yumeka 夢香 meaning sweet (in aroma) dream after meditating on a new name for her. she seems to respond to this beautifully. sometimes, I will shorten it and say “yume” 🌸☕️🐈

tested positive for covid today… having several deadlines coming up soon… it’s discouraging quite a bit… still, I’m dancing before my feline companion who found her spot in my mini storage

neutering my feline friend/neighbor Gaji this Thursday to stop her dangerous (due to indifferent cars running in this city) wandering and then taking her to my little place (for a week) for her recovery … 🙏🍀 please wish her (and me) best … reorganizing my place as simply as possible for Gaji’s stay

didn’t get a chance to have any bagels in New York so instead i got a few bagels from the food-rich Montréal airport… these handmade blueberry bagels are so good… and simply comfort foods in bed in the next morning of an intercontinental long flight… 🫐🥯😸
