今日は宝塚のお母さんのところにちょびっとだけ行ってきました。
ハピバスデーツーユーー♪です。祝
&プレゼント フォー祝ユ祝ーです。
しかし記憶違いで、本当は昨日が誕生日だったらしく…イケてないとろみどりです。紅茶の葉、日本茶の葉をプレゼント。2人一緒にいただいて、ふ〜〜お茶はやっぱし落ち着く。今、気兼ねなくおしゃべりできてるのがすごく嬉しいですね。これからもお友達として(というとなれなれしいけど)たまには遊びんでやってください。誕生日おめでとうございます。
The Okinawan Festival is something I remember going to ever since I was little. This year, my Dad thought it would be cool for him, my sister, and I to go work for our club making andagi. For our Japanese 4 class, students were offered to work to gain a credit for community service, which is required by the end of the semester. I told my teacher I would be working for my own club, but she said it wouldn’t count! only the people who worked for her club recieved the credit! I got mad because I believed that this community service was for our local Japanese-Okinawan community, not to work for the teacher! But I did it anyway, and had a lot of fun, and learned how to make andagi!
長い長い夏休みも終わり、
とうとう学校が始まりました(泣)
早速テストが5科目ありました。
今学期は運動会があるので忙しいだろうなあ
と思いつつ、とても楽しみです。
…ができたそうな。(昔話風)
おめでとう〜〜。
パチパチパチ〜〜〜
この日を、おばあちゃんになるまでずっとずっと大事にしていきたいですね。祝
夏帽子野生の馬の視野にあり
Summer hats cluster
by a herd of wild horses
drawing their glances.

夏帽子をかぶった女性が、野生の馬の視野にいるのを
私が見ているという方が、場面としてはいいと思います。

My body is totally not ready for the new school year. Our school has adapted a “health” issue,where all the junk foods in our snack bar have been trashed for “healthy” alternatives. This is outrageous? From now on, I am forced to bring food from home to sate my hunger. I don’t knwo how much longer I can go on like this!
Recently things are slowing down not only in the restaurant but all around. I think the economy is hurting and everyone is just being safe. I may need to find and alternate means for my livlihood. It’s something I hesitate about because I love what I do, I meet new people everyday and work with some of the best friends a person could ever wish for. I just need something that can at least be competitive in pay. Most of the jobs cannot match what I currently make. Maybe one day I will be brave enough to make my own business. I think that I have most of the qualities needed to be a great business owner, I just need the guts! I have many ideas but ideas are just that, dreams that never amount to anything.

最近、仕事がスムーズに運ばないとろみどりです。
気持ちの面でも負けてる感があるのはいなめない。
どうにかモチベーションあげていきたいぞ。
