Spring!

It's spring over here! This is my neighbor shrine with beautiful cherry blossoms. We've been having a peaceful time since we came home. There will be the first rehearsal with my choir this coming Friday. I feel so grateful to see them again!!

See you, NY, and hello again, Osaka!

Takao and I have arrived our loving home safely, for him, since 2 weeks ago, for me, since exactly 365 days ago. Both of the flights, NY to SF, SF to Osaka, got off on time.

The first thing I did was going up stairs to see our kitties. I called their names, Booko replied under the blanket and appeared soon, Gara replied cowardly behind the TV and didn't appeared while I was there, Momo didn't reply at all but showed her face from the box on the wardrobe and looked at me puzzled. I realized how long I hadn't been here.

Takao went out to buy Bento boxes for dinner while I was cutting bagels from Whole Foods NY to put them in the freezer. We have enjoyed the bentos and miso soup as we were watching the baseball game, Yokohama Bay Stars and Hanshin Tigers. Kanemoto hit home-run as if he welcomed me back!



We called my mother and his parents to let them know we got home safely.
I feel like I can sleep 24 hours tonight!
Good night from Osaka, Japan!

reunion with my husband after a year of absence

My husband, Takao, arrived at JFK at 3AM safely! I went there by a car service. The driver was a nice guy so I enjoyed talking with him all the way, never got bored!

It was a good timing. Just right after I entered the airport building, he came out with his luggage. We didn't hug each other but just say "Hi!" "Oh" or something like that. We were so natural as if we hadn't have such long absence at all! His flight was delayed for about five hours at SF and the airline gave no food so he was hungry. I cooked Top Ramen with egg. He enjoyed it and is sleeping peacefully now. I cannot believe we are together again. I feel so relieved and peaceful. We are having twelve days here and going back Japan on the 16th.

Not my days but OUR days in NY just started! I'm so happy to have him here.


I'm so sleepy.... so I'll go to sleep. Good night!
