Thank you so much, Professors. Mei-Shun received 銀のすず=silver bells made of sweetened bean paste and chocolate from Prof. K yesterday, while Prof. M would kindly drop in her place tonight. Oh, Prof. S living in Sendai sent her lovely items including a birthday card which accommodates a tiny piano last month: immediately after he accepted a box of chocolates from her.
11 years have passed since we experienced an enormous disaster. Mei-Shun offered a moment of silent prayer at home with Mikan-chan and Ms. Piano. It was freezing both in body and mind at that time, while warm enough to feel like in the middle of spring today. Backyard plum trees gives a lot of white, round petals followed by ones in bright pink. A lemon moon began to shine high in the sky.
Mei-Shun walked to the nearest shrine after longer than 3-month interval. Thanks to slight rain at night a few days before, rice paddy still empty has several little pools. Going up narrow stairs, she found a cherry tree somehow in soft pink. Well, it would not take 20 days to show lovely petals. By the way, all the same combination of omikuji lots met her with 半吉=han-kichi and 末吉=sue-kichi.
Amazing 3 months have passed since Mei-Shun visited a hair salon nearby Tokyo Station at the end of last year. She makes it a rule to have a cut and treatment there, while dyeing at another 5-minute walk from home. However, the latter sometimes works as her bangs maker. Oh, this word is related to horsey tails? She was a girl often with a ponytail decades before.
Mom opened a new bag of my crisps, purr. She asks me to have at least 10g of it a day, followed by jelly sticks and meat stew. The last one is breakfast and nightcap, second delicacy refreshment or supplement. It therefore depends on how many biscuits I chew in number. When I’m happy to do my duty earlier, more sticks would be served like yesterday. Things seems to be a bit different today …

Shin brought home above arts of delicacy from Nagano Prefecture. Mei-Shun is happy to see strawberry join regular members of みすず飴 including apple, grape, plum, peach and 三宝柑=sanpo-kan orange. She knew this simple jelly made of agar and fruit jam from childhood: grandfather on her mother’s side was from 信州, while was not a soba noodle lover.
Here they are to join Mei-Shun’s family. She found them at the horsey riding club, brought both home thanks to Shin: one of them caught her eyes first. However, the other reminded her of Mikan-chan’s elder sister. If only she paid a bit more, kitty sisters could have stayed together. She immediately contacted him, received a quick response to go ahead.
… to you, young girls including Princess Maria and Ms. Sagittarius. We have Doll’s Festival today while a new moon to start lunar February. Mei-Shun dropped in the nearest shrine this morning after saying good day to Shin from driver’s seat of Ms. Scarlet. Now what omikuji lots would Gods give her? 末吉=sue-kichi and 半吉 han-kichi, the least and half luck respectively.
Mother recently sent Mei-Shun several images of flowers newly bloomed in her garden. Above is 馬酔木=asebi, Japanese andromeda given by mom-in-law. The latter grew a gorgeous tree at previous home where Shin lived until marriage, yet did not move it toward her current place. Now one of its children is cared enough like her daughter-in-law.
I made it on the 1st day of a month, purr. My new restroom was installed behind a TV stand in the living room. Mom one day found (or heard) a pool there when nothing but power cables were curled on the floor. She first spread a few potty pads, failed and succeeded. Her second choice was a tray for dogs of my size. Then dad helped her with a nice piece of advice to put some of kitty litter on it.
