Today (25年11月1日・土) was Nails 💅🏽 Day! And a nice way to start a new month.🤗 Relatively understated design this time due to time constraints; but lovely for Fall all the same I’d say!

As a bit of motivation to tackle some work tasks today (25年10月26日・日) before the actual workweek got started, I enjoyed my fav #cinnamon #latte at my neighborhood #coffee shop☕️⬇️. And it was especially tasty today for some reason!☺️💕

The stereotype of people in #Japan not being creative never sits right with me🙂↔️.
Case in point - this evening (25年9月18日・木) randomly on #NHK, I was transfixed watching a ‘courtroom drama’ unfold between two sisters-Older Sister #Broccoli🥦 & Younger Sister #Cauliflower !⚪️🥦 (1/2)

Still feeling pretty wiped from the busy week and non-stop activities at the beginning of the academic year…😔
But the day (25年9月8日・月) ended well with an impromptu invitation to dinner with some colleagues & an amazing Chilean white wine to add to the rotation.☺️

Wow… Actually did it; made it through the whole three days of Arrivals with only a few issues to work through🕵🏽♀️. But that’s okay; that’s part of why we are here supporting and developing this work.👏🏽
(Plus, the #Yakatabune riverboat cruise tonight (25年9月7日・日) definitely helps!😉)
