Mei-Shun received an e-message from her only niece M-chan. The latter will soon become senior at University of Tsukuba, currently in the middle of job seeking. Or at the end of it, since she had promised to contact auntie when content results won. That might be why Mikan-chan opened her last and 22nd paw on Princess Cymby. Now which restaurant above hearty eater choose?
… mom means this month, full of appointments at hospitals and hair salons. That is why she made it her new rule to walk toward the nearest shrine on Mondays. Horsey riding lessons are reserved on Wednesdays, while allergy between clavicles let her go outdoors every other day. Exercise at least once a week is indispensable. Here she drew 吉 and 小吉 omikuji lots.

Now I reached 20th paw, purr. Mom keeps a small curtain open after dark, enjoys 90-degree view of me from living room these days. My shade looks like sunlight, shines even when clouds cover all above us. The brightest might be growing at the top: twins to count full 22 will call dad and mom on behalf of my voice. Please wait until around lunar birthday of the latter.

Yes, we would soon see the day of our breed, purr. By the way, mom got a phone call from a police station: an officer asked when the photo she submitted the other day was taken. Actually, another asked her all the same question at that time. “What is going on?” she complained to dad. “Well, you looked too young at your age,” he replied smiling. “Some people try to use years-before images.”

Lunar New Year has come. As was similar to solar one, Mei-Shun stayed home all day long; drove Shin bound for 尾道 toward the nearest station only, saw a mayor candidate speak to commuters there in early morning. We have no moon tonight, yet she does Ms. Piano who sings scores featuring that celestial beauty together. Sweet Mikan-chan loves it, whose composure helps mom so much.
Merry lunar Christmas, purr. Dad left home around 6:15 on Ms. Moon, mom at 7:00 helped by Ms. Scarlet. He is on business, she heading her parents’ home. I remember grandpa, who saw me decades before when dad stayed in Osaka alone. Grandma came as well, yet her image is stronger via mom these days. They talk a bit on cups of tea, then visit aunt Y (mother of M-chan) to share lunch.

… artificial cats called this morning, on Mei-Shun’s mobile phone. Aha, it is because of February 9th, read 肉球=niku-kyu in numbers by our mother tongue. Precisely 2-9-9, yet there is no 29th month or 99th date; both on solar and lunar calendars. It is better anyway to stay home for her daughter currently on Princess Cymby with 17 flowers, and herself today.
Yes, Mei-Shun visited the nearest shrine yesterday. After greeting Gods in kimono, she drew an omikuji lot: only one coin was available. Oh, No. 22 吉=kichi came; a message via her fluffy daughter of course. It will join your friends on a dining table, honey. Now she gets on Ms. Scarlet heading a police station. Her driving license would be renewed soon, while passport next month.
Mom slipped out of our front door very early this morning, found 立待月 waited standing last night. It is her exercise a little, walking around neighborhood. Dad stayed in Tokyo, got on a shinkansen bullet train for Kyoto at 7:00 when we woke up again. Nice sunshine, purr. It helped mom to put on kimono again, took photos and turned to the nearest shrine.

Solar February 2026 started from Sunday. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, we are on the 1st Monday while calling 2. 2 to mean her sweet voice twice. Mei-Shun received 2 postcards tonight from Kaori-san and Noriko-san respectively; the former attached to a bag of sugary 黒豆 black beans. Both are cat lovers; 2 girls were kept by the latter. Reunion is cordially wished soon, attended by Yuko-san as well.
