Hello How are you? It’s a little chilly here in the evenings but starting to get quite hot outside! Oh… lovely cali weather

The week passed by so quickly as I’ve been heavily jetlagged (more in the “sleep all day and night” rather than “sleep all day awake all night” sense) since I got back from Japan last week, but I figured I need to get moving again on… resuming being a normal person once more

I’ve mostly been focused on (sleeping), unpacking, and trying to get back into my routine. My favourite eats lately have been apples… so many apples. I think we went through 6 apples and 1.5 lbs of strawberries in 4 days and by “we”… it’s 90% me. LOL

Otherwise, I’ve been working slowly on my Japan posts I was excited to update the blog during my trip and set everything up for a portable workspace, but what I did not anticipate was how hard it was to edit and keep track of photos through icloud’s file systems to post!! Still, I did do some draft posts so I just need to clean them up and add in the photos, so hopefully those posts can appear eventually

Some days now, I feel like this scratching-off Chiikawa - gleeful but fading out Can you believe it’s almost April?

Since my manz and I both took trips early this year, our anniversary celebration is getting pushed to April, so we’ve been trying to plan for that too! Though we prefer casual “celebrations”, it’s nice to have something to look forward to

On Saturday, we had dinner at Sagami with friends and watched Mickey 17 afterwards I was craving plain leaves after all the fun eats I had in Japan, so their sashimi salad was perfect!

Surprisingly to me, it was such a funny movie! I definitely wouldn’t have picked it to watch myself although the trailer looked silly when we saw it before watching The Brutalist at the theatre a while back (I… did not understand this movie and both of us left puzzled ).

I normally don’t like the thought of how expensive theatre showings are now, but… it’s really nice to have an occasion to go out with friends and relax together

Lastly, I made this freaky matcha protein snack recently and it looks like radioactived sumikkos. I think I need to work on the adjustments to the original recipe for a bit to fix up the looks but otherwise, it was actually very tasty!
