Half Home?

Standard

Meow, mom went out twice this afternoon to: 1) A drug store by car for painkillers. 2) A postal office to renew a passbook. 3) The same shop again for kitchen items and foods. After once coming home to take care of me with a jelly stick, 4) A hair salon on foot. Counters will be closed at 15 : 00? Your reservation was 16 : 30? Well, my understanding means 50%, a little wet mat 50%.

旧新年

Standard

Another Happy New Year! Mei-Shun visited Master Bando in kimono, from today to spare time: she would like to stay home with 18-year-old Mikan-chan as long as possible. Changing clothes from normal European/American style to traditional Japanese is also a kind of lesson, she has learned much from above lady and Ms. S. Next stage means to make お太鼓 by her wider 名古屋帯 than usual 半幅帯.

Smart & Sweet

Standard

Meow, I’ve learned how to use potty pads. Mom brought them last night, spread several on the floor to prevent me from making pools. All right, I’ll try one to spare your time to clean them up … hmm, it is not bad, quite easy. May I make it normal? You prefer rest rooms, I see. Anyway, my good usage of both the pad and rooms is worth licking tasty sticks, isn’t it? Purr … purrr …

Paws on Paws

Standard

Oh, Mikan-chan, it was the very way of your cushion usage Mei-Shun would like to say mom wishes the other day. However, you are found on her slippers with the same patterns of lovely footprints this morning, enjoying warm sunlight. Your purr and relaxed figure make her feel the happiest — oops, not a little pool on the floor somebody but you formed while she was vacuuming all rooms upstairs.

Lovely Lunch

Standard

Purr, mom stays with me at home all day long. She went out yesterday morning, came back around tea time. Her oden simmered vegetables and fish balls are in a pot, continued to be boiled in dashi soup while added other ingredients. It became her meal after getting on a scale. What is the reason for your smile? Meow, a small bag would be taken from a 桜葛湯 box as dessert.

Cute Crystal

Standard

Mei-Shun treated gifts today, which she enjoyed in boxes yesterday. 1st is a gorgeous bouquet from Shin, coordinated with another arranged into a pot arrived on Christmas Eve. The former has pink lilies, salmon-pink roses with violet attendants while the latter in snow-white, the same and greenly white. 2nd is red-bean rice from mom-in-law cooked into balls.

Salon Shock

Standard

So it is the last day for mom to enjoy her current years old. She left home around 9 : 00, returned before 11 : 00. It is within morning, much earlier than yesterday. However, why you forced me to be alone so often? You made a promise to keep at least every 2 days to stay with me from morning till night, didn’t you? This tiny pool on the floor is therefore a penalty for your breaking it.

First Fall

Standard

… of snow this winter began around noon, mom told me. Meow, it is so interesting that let me gaze beyond the widest window before stepping down from a sofa for water. She put on dad’s puff jacket, went out to replenish Mr. Blue. Good job, if he gets empty after dark, we would have to stay in milder air warmed by an air conditioner. Oh, Tora-chan sounds coming home. Purr … purrr …

Thank Thee

Standard

So this is the end of 2021, the last weekday and report on cat, dance, piano, etc. from Mei-Shun. They taught her a lot through an year as usual:

Cats work every day with their loveliness. They might do their jobs the most at home.

Kabuki dance requires good body trunk first. Muscle follows next.

Piano does concentration. Practice before singing by fingers.

Fine Friend

Standard

Meow, Tora-chan stays at a hospital from today. According to mom, she “stopped” from last week; never eat, never move, just drink water. When the former brought some of my jelly sticks downstairs, the latter said purr and licked two up. However, that became her last meal in 2021. Getting into mom’s kimono-laundry net, she was driven to a veterinarian in Tsukuba City.
